DSL s starting to be the slower of broadband connections other than sattelite of course. I hear of cable connections being upgraded all the time. DSL should do the same.

Yeah, he looks fine, he's probably on a 768/256 connection so his upload looks a little slow.....

No dsl connection is better than what you are getting. I got the upgrade from verizon and I get 3MB, you are getting 6MB, twice what I'm getting even though i got the upgrade that doubled my dsl speed.

Just unistalled norton, and got AVG, my computer start-up is loads faster , and avg is using half of my RAM of what norton was using.

i only know one person who uses msn messenger, everyone else uses aol, or aim. Aim triton was ok, but i still like windows live better, i just have noone to talk to on it

Just asking, why do u ask is he running a registry cleaner? Would that interfere with an internet connection? I think ccleaner's messed up my connection once and i had to reinstall XP after backup registry didnt work

yeah, i saw that AFTER i posted, he's a 1 post guy.....

So there is nothing i can do about my ping? I do live out in the country, my city's population is only 2,800 could that be it? But i am close to the verizon building in my city, thats why verizon qualified my for the 3000/768 connection upgrade.

I have norton antivirus, is it worth it? It always has that auto protect running in the background, all i wanted was the virus scan, i already heard NAV internet security was terrible so i just got basic NAV. Should i just get AVG? I counted and NAV has 5 different processes running in the background. In total under proccesses in task manager it is using 35,000k. I'm asking cus i was wondering if this is affectin my ping which i see is at 130 avg. in multiple computer games, i hate seeing people with 30 or less and im way up at 130?!?!?!

and oh yeah r u usin cablenut or anything?

Here are some things u can try to help. ~make sure ur telephone wire to ur modem is less than 10ft. ~try a different ethernet cord ~try resetting ur modem, or turning it off for 1min. and turning it back on. <A HREF="http://www.portforward.com/english/routers/port_forwarding/Westell/Westell6100/Limewire.htm">HERE</A> is directions to open a port for limewire, i did it for bearshare, but i couldnt really notice any performance increase....

Isn't there a way of getting past a surf control in a school or library by creating a proxy or something at home?

sorry if i'm wrong, im not sure, but doesnt those westell modems and gateways block out remote assistance? Because in the routers control panel, ther eis a place to allow remote assistance. Or is this some other type of feature and im completely off topic or wrong. I was just wondering. I once tried using windows remote access for a friend who also is on verizon dsl, but it wouldn't work so i think this may be it. looks like this...

Here's a good free one i use every now and then, it can convert either format to the other. <A HREF="http://www.8to32.com/mp32all/">MP3 to all converter</A>

You can try ebay, some websites let u sell their merchandise on ebay but might require a lot of money to start up. One thing i heard of is HTML. If u know that well, im sure their are some oppurtunities but i haven't looked into it, maybe u should.

Since u have so much stuff u download, what do u think r the best downloads u have that i might b interested in?

TV and weather.com says it 30 here in maryland, i think this is the cldest its been at this time of year in a long time. We got snow earlier today, then some sleet. And just a couple of weeks it was hot.

What do ya'll think of the westell gateways and routers that verizon and i think bellsouth sends out with the package. Are they worth keepin? I keep having problems with my connection and when i reset my westel 327w it works again. I think it might have something to do with my registry, i use ccleaner and if i ever reset my computer, i mean wipe the hard drive and reinstall windows, it will work again, but once i edit the regitry it doesnt work again, i ONLY ever delete thing that deal with a program that i KNOW i unistalled so i dont see where this is coming from. Could it be my gateway, firewall, should i switch and buy a new modem and router. Could it be my pc itself, i'm on a hp pavillion 743c. Does anyone else use a wetell modem or gateway and have the problems. I am just trying to find the source of the problem, help me please!

do what i did, tryout both, tweaking everything and finding out all the differneces and what u like and dont like about each browser for a whole week or two, then after that, just choose firefox. But if u choose ie, u might want ie7 beta because it has tabbed browsing by default and u wont have to download the msn search bar like u will have to for ie6.

no, but i mean i already entered a cablenut setting into the adjuster. I'm now attempting to get the default settings, i thought the retrieve current setting button will tell u what current settings u have entered whether they r default or not.

Is having the entry box blank blank, mean that the windows xp default setting is in??? Or when you press delete cablenut settings, does that mean that windows default is back in? I was wondering if i really need to have a backup, because i fogot to make one before i used cablenut.
