Hathway Torrent Speed - Bad Torrent Speed

[Deleted member 63558]

Hi. I have Hathway (Cable, Docsis 3.0) and Airtel Broadband

My Airtel gives me better speed on Torrents as compared to Hathway.

Hathway on Speedtest is 45 MBPS and Airtel is 16 MBPS

But then also, Hathway gives very poor like 100 KB/s where Airtel gives 1.5 MB/s to 1.8 MB/s

Same trackers, Same peers, Same Seeds, Same everything.

Why is that so?

@gambit if you could answer?

Try optimize utorrent except for disable upnp port mapping and net.max_halfopen.
Time Pass: How to increase utorrent download speed upto 10mbps
also try SpeedGuide.net :: TCP Optimizer / Downloads
If you are using Technicolor cable modem, that may be the cause of problem because buggy firmware from Technicolor.

@gambit Yes, I am using techincolor cable modem. How can I get it replaced with better one or any solution?

Please recommend.

Have hathway change it to another company.

Have you tried optimize utorrent? See if it works out for you first.

Have hathway change it to another company.

Which other company do you recommend from Hathway to ask?

I'll ask them that particular company or tell me something.

Any other company docsis 3.0 modem will do. Its just the technicolor modem which happen to have buggy firmware.
Do not accept Technicolor TC7200 Router from Hathway

@gambit any other company would have option to change primary and secondary DNS as well?

Because in techincolor we cannot change DNS. (If you can, then please tell).

Which ISP do you use and which modem you have for it?

 

[gambit]

If you want to change DNS just change it in Ethernet properties.

How about the Android or any other wireless device?

DHCP can also pass the DNS so that it's used by default.

So any modem you could name?
