@c0n. sent you a message, please check.

@rockstah Thanks for the packing and shipping tips! Will make sure things are nicely cushioned and don't have any play internally as well.

Thanks for all the information! Very helpful indeed. I called one of the bus companies, and the clear message was that any damage would be at sender's risk - I think I'll stay away from that option for now given the lack of insurance. Let me see what bluedart comes up with in terms of cost and...

Thanks @rsaeon, I will enquire for both. Any suggestions on which bus travels offer this service? I've traveled on Orange travels, will check with them, but any others would also be helpful.

Thank you for these details - I will check with bluedart and dtdc first then.

(Mods, I wasn't sure where to put this thread, please move in case this is the wrong forum) I need to ship my monitor and PC Tower from Hyderabad to Bangalore. (need to send it to my sister) I have the original packing for the monitor, and also for the PC Tower. Can folks here kindly advise...

@rdst_1 Thanks for the tip. Unfortunately, looks like it got sold. But I will check out the brand, it looks like that particular set is available at headphonezone.

Thanks for the inputs @Fapdda I was looking at reviews of the Sennheiser HD 650, and it appeared that they would not be a good buy without an amp. But then again, I normally don't listen at a high volume - so does that in itself negate the need for an amp? If you have any specific model...

After years of occasionally listening to music (generally bass-heavy) on various wired earbuds, wireless earbuds and most recently, the noise cancelling Sony XM3s, I recently got back to hearing music on an ancient set of open-type headphones (Phillips SBC HP 840) which I had lying in my...

@rockyo27 - I had hunted for some problems with this card but didn't come across anything that was a red flag so far. Thanks for the tip above. I tried the option for the Large Send Offload (I only have Large Send Offload v2 for IPv4 and IPv6), and it didn't make any difference. I tried both...

@ibose - I see a 1000/1000 mbps connection on the ethernet connection properties. So, I'm guessing not a LAN problem per se? @rockyo - Well, the throttling vanishes when i directly connect the ACT cable to my lan card... so i'm guessing its perhaps not the cause? But still, worth a try, will...

@ibose - thanks for your data point. After your comment, I checked the laptop (which doesn't suffer from upload throttling on a wired connection), and it has an intel ethernet controller onboard. @Titokhan : I checked, and nothing extra there in the ISP settings . I also looked at the...

So, there were two options in the Jumbo Frame - 4088 bytes and 9014 bytes. Followed the process outlined for both these options (enable, restart, then run speedtest) Unfortunately, no change in the results. Still seeing - ACT->2600ac->desktop = ~15mbps uploads, ~300mbps download speeds...

Big list here :) Advanced EEE = Disabled ARP Offload = Enabled Auto Disable Ethernet = Disabled Energy Efficent Ethernet = Disabled Flow control= Rx & Tx enabled Gigabit Lite=enabled Green Ethernet=enabled Interrupt Moderation=enabled IPV4 Checksum Offload= Rx & Tx enabled Jumbo Frame =...

Thank you for the suggestion. Unfortunately, I updated the driver, and retested, with no change in the results from before. :( ACT->2600ac->desktop = ~15mbps uploads, ~300mbps download speeds ACT->desktop = ~300mbps upload and download.
