The Solution Rating System

With so many solutions, how can you tell which solutions are most likely to help you and which ones are not? To provide you with a tool to use, we rate our solutions based on various elements that most accurately determine if a solution is a quality solution. To explain what factors affect the solution rating, here are the elements we take into consideration when formulating our solution rating.

The Grade of the Solution
The Zone Rank of the Expert Providing the Solution
The Number of Author and Expert Comments
The Number of Experts Contributing
The Feedback of the Community

Your Input Matters
Because of the way the system is set up, the most important variable in this equation is you. As a member of Experts Exchange, you are able to cast your vote on the quality of the solutions in regard to how complete, accurate, helpful and easy to understand each solution is. When you provide your feedback, each rating is adjusted accordingly. So, if you see a solution that has a poor rating that you think is a good solution, let us know by rating it. As you do, the rating will be adjusted and will become more accurate for other members of our site.

If you have any suggestions that you would like to make for our rating system, please ask a question in the Suggestions Zone of Community Support.

Why is High Speed Cable so SLOW ??

Asked by aniston in Miscellaneous Networking, Network Switches & Hubs, Network Auditing Software

I have a high speed networking question.

Currently I'm a Rogers High Speed Internet cable subscriber and am experiencing unbareably slow speeds. HowStuffWorks.com has provided some insight as to the bottleneck I'm experiencing but hasnt gone into enough detail to satisfy my needs.

Can you recommend any books/websites which better lay out the behind-the-scenes networking problems experienced when using internet access through cable. I want to know what is causing the problem and what are the possible solutions one could employee to resolve it.

HowStuffworks.com has mentioned a 6 MHZ channel which a neighborhood shares and because of this there is only so much bandwidth that can be used. Once the limits have been reached, I suppose, more collisions occur on the medium for the neighborhood and so one is waiting longer to send/receive a message. Can the situation be likened to a traffic jam without any traffic lights??
