Any of you ppl know what is the speed that Cox advertises (Im in Arizona), because I'm getting way bigger speeds then most people that I know ( Thnx to CA3LE - i did spread the word Smile ... And plus, I was talking with one of their techs and they told me I would be lucky if I test in speeds higher than 2mbs in my area.... thank you Smile

Hi, disturbed..

What's your RWIN / MTU settings?

I, too, got 2 Mbps over the advertised speed. (around 4.3) However, they sent out new config files, or something, and now it's at around 1.4-1.5.

Consider yourself fortunate.

I'm learning to manage with this lousy service.

I've tried everything. What it boils down to, is external factors. It's either a new configuration file, or a problem with the line itself. I suppose I enjoyed the 800kb bursts, and 450kB/sec downloads, while I had it.  evil

if you are getting over the advertized speed leave it alone....  Most likely you will not beable to get any faster due to the newer hardware.  In the old days you could hack your modem and get these outragous speeds.  But now with the new tech you cant do it.  By the way it is illegal so dont try.
