Well today just as a experiment, I put my ECI modem (B-FOCUS V-2FUb/r Rev.B) in the freezer for about 20 minutes and then mounted it the upright position to aid airflow. My Upload speed has since increased from 6Mbps to 13Mbps!
Will have to wait and see if the speed improvement lasts. Would be interested if people repeat what I did and see if their upload speed increases to.

At any given moment in the universe many things happen. Coincidence is a matter of how close these events are in space, time and relationship.
Opinions expressed in forum posts are those of the poster, others may have different views.

Can't say I have seen any real improvement on the download or ping, although that was never an issue.

Matthew, whilst contributing to this somewhat humorous thread, could you find the time please to mosey on over to the capacity issues thread and provide an update on your testing?

I know many properly think this is a hoax, but you will have to take my word on it. Anyone willing to post their results?

If you were to try another ECI modem, not cooled down, would you get the slower or the faster speed. If the slower speed, then I would say the ECI design is not optimal. Needless to say you shouldn't have to cool down your modem to get the optimal speed. If you get the faster speed, then I would say you have a faulty modem.
It would be interesting to find out which it is.

either way it wont last long and you should get a replacement for the ECI modem, they are unfit for purpose at best and a fire hazard at worse

Quote from: nanotm Just put your hand on the outside of the modem and see how hot it feels, most of the people with problems do have their unit on carpet......
