Hey guys/gals. Have mercy on the noob here.  Tell me, is this speed good or not for cable modem? It seems fine, but need to compare and see if I need to do anything to get it any faster. I'm on insightBB in Louisville.

JESUS, that is fast ... must be the 5Mbps/768Kbps package --- awesome.          

well then tweak the hell out of it.. see how fast you can get it!! i be there is a cap around the 10mb barrier

If any you guys know how to tweak upload speed.pleeeeeeeease tell me.

With a new formatted drive and a clean install of XP home....... in other words right out of the box from the factory, I was able to increase my speed a little more than double my original speed. Before and after. But I only use one tweak which I actually learned on my own but I use "TCP Optimizer" just cause it makes it easier..... but I don't use the setting they suggest for the TCP receive window.. I set at a lower value,it just works better for me. I guess what I'm saying is typically its not necessary to change a lot of settings for good results, of course taking into consideration that all machines are different, but a couple of years ago when I was running Win 98se the same was true double speed with little work. I know its possible to squeeze out a little more speed although a lot of testing must be done for a few days at different times to analyze if your changes really did more harm than good.
Man I love this S#!t....if I wasn't spending my time doing this I maybe in a bar or smoking crack....lol(jk) And the hits just keep right on commin:)
OBTW I was able to install the O.S. without ever being asked to enter product key or activate this new install, even though in the past when I reloaded over the old copy I always had to.....this is the first time I have ever seen this with any O.S. starting with win 3.1,95,etc...also some other interesting anomalies,but its working fine and I have done updates and other things with no problem....Hmmm go figure....lol

that right there is a nice $40  , I get a $10 discount because we have their cable television also.



Like cable, said i live in Omaha, NE. Qwest used to be absolutely terrible here too, but like 2 years ago all of a sudden it just got good. I dont know if they fixed some cables or what but it improved a lot. I like playing multiplayer games and before it got good i would ping like 100 to every server, but now for the past 2 years i ping below 100 to most servers, and my dl speeds are fast, and my upload!  

very nice connections guys..
