yeah i have this problem also. ive done multiple tweak programs including TCP Optimizer, CablueNut, and the Bellsouth one. Im getting about 1.14mb. Would it have to do with the distance from the provider cuz i thought i remember reading that somewhere.

yes if you have done that many tweaks and are unable to get it any faster, the it would be that you are too far from the CO to get any faster.
