According to their track record.......... no!  It will prolly slow you down......  they want you to test just how slow your speeds can get before you can't browse/download at all.   :haha:

That's the truth!

I beta'd the DW6000 4.3.0.9 software last time, and did testing on my DW4000 before that.

This last one, I sent about 1000 bug reports in about browsing speeds. I used to be in the 1200-1400 Kbps range down, with crap upload speeds. They had me down in the 300's on the first betas. They tweaked pretty fast after everyone complained, but it never went back where it was.

I consistently get around 1000 Kbps downa and 70-90 up now.

The Reverend's tweaks on this site got me 200-300 Kbps down increase and about 20 kpbs up.

This is probably a mistake, but I signed up to be a Beta Tester.

I just KNOW I am going to hate myself for it!  Rolling Eyes
