Your connection is running at ninety one percent from what your ISP advertises, which is pretty good.

I don't think you can tweak it any higher, Might be wrong though.

I currently get anywhere from ninety five percent to ninety nine percent, of what my ISP has advertised.

But, I am guessing that 90 percent and up, is the good speed to have your connection running at.

Yup its true,if u get atleast 90 percent of advertised its good.But trying to tweak to make it faster wouldnt really hurt either.

you are very close to your cap already

but if you like to test my tweaks, download cablenut 4.08 here http://testmy.net/forum/index.php?action=dlattach;topic=1013.0;id=64

install win XP SP2 if you dont have it already

download the attached file, unzip it to C:\Program\Cablenut

open cablenut adjuster, click delete cablenut tweaks and click save to registry

in top left corner, click file, click load custom settings file, browse to C:\Program\Cablenut and dubble click on the file you unzipped

now click save to registry and reboot, reboot your modem and router aswell for 30 seconds

make a speedtest and a tweaktest http://www.dslreports.com/tweaks

copy result URL adress from tweaktest and post it here

good luck VanBuren

;) Because they are an evil money hungry corporation that tries to squeeze every penny out of the consumer. By keeping you low it gives them more to sell to the next guy, and allows them to stop you from using B.W. and sharing(or slow ya down)......its just not your ISP its the way the game is played..... of course I'm not bitter about this subject..... :haha:
