I have Cox Communications (Phoenix, AZ) - About few months ago I first started using this website and I love it - for some odd reason my service has gotten slower => these are few tests I ran, and setting I have - my question is: Is it possible to tweak the settings a little bit more, to get some extra juice out of my service

He is in the same area and on the same ISP as CA3LE... However, he is also faster than CA3LE...  My guess is that you are not going to get much more out of your connection...
