I found this site for cable/dsl problems that some may find useful.

Hey  FlailSpound  how's it going  not to sure about if you will have to re-install modem but you will get better speeds with the ethernet connection.

has anyone heard of cyberonic dsl ? they are offering a 6.0/768 package in my area for $59.00

I was afraid you would say that, thanks anyway. 

My connection speed with firefox is around 2900,with other browsers around 2400.

I have verizon dsl the 3.0/768 package.

With firefox i am with mozilla and ie not close.

I get anywhere from 50 to 60 kb difference betweem firefox and ie, could it be a modem or router problem?

Why are test speeds so different from browser to browser, like firefox,netscape, ie  :

Installed new RJ45 cables  from computer to modem,and from modem to router. Received slight increase in dl and upload speeds.
