And also, i would only trust the stats from a online speedtest and not verizons. My gateway also says i am at 3360, but that doesnt matter if i'm not actually downloading at that does it?

About ur connection, install cablenut, and if u already have it, make sure u change the settings to 3.0MB

Is it okay to have more than one tweak on ur computer at the same time? I have TCP optimizer and cablenut. Will these types of programs interfere with each other and ultimately slow my connection?

as long as you are within the designated area from the CO.

I was wondering about that, i live in the middle of nowhere in a town of 2,500 on the water. But i am qualified for 3.0mb, i think there is a verizon building somewhere close but im not sure what it is. I must be a lucky one.

Yeah man, that was difficult for me to see, I spent an hour trying to open ports for a p2p and a bit torrent program. Just go to services, and type in your port and press OK.

yeah i think usb cable sends stuff slower than ethernet, thats why some people buy those gold usb cables, i have one for my printer.

I was having some problems with my connection and couldn't connect to the internet, so i call verizon, and the technical person had me set my connection on my westell's hardware inside the gateway. Do u think this is worse or better than having just the regular network connection on my pc? But really i want to figure out why i really had to change to a connection on my router anyway. I would rather be able to see the info. in my control panel. When i try to connect the regular way without using my router's PPP, my connection in the control panel appears to be normal but it will display wierd numbers and i can't connect to the internet. Has anyone else encountered this before?
