Yeah its 12 down and 1 up.  For the kind of money I am paying I think it should be more.  Sure it's fast but other people seem to pay less with other services and get more.

Thanks for asking my friend! 

In regards to a wireless card and price:

You do not need to spend alot of money for a wireless card.  100.00 is just crazy for me to see the stores selling to people.  Just get yourself a G card for now, or if you just need the newest get a N card.  N cards are expensive and can't be used as of now to full potential.  If you have the older B systems in your network you are better off getting backwards compatible G cards for now and they are cheap.  I wouldn't pay more than 40 dollars for one that is on sale.  They will accommodate your older devices and give you the 56 mps you desire.  That's overkill for the ISP's intended speeds if  your one of us normal people anyway.  Speed is your delivered signal and what you do with it. 

PS.  Remember that if you do have the older B devices hooked up to your G system, the system WILL revert to a lower speed on ALL devices to accommodate the older devices.  This goes for the new N systems as well as far as I can see.  ie. N cards: can't use all of it, G cards: still can't use all of the potential (but best buy), B cards: A speed stopper.

Latest off my wireless connection.  Did some tweaking.  Another family member is using the wired computer for WOW.  Used VanBuren's newest versions (9).  NOT using a firewall.  I am going to bed, best I can do for now.  Advertised speeds are 121.  Price is 59.  I think this is steep.  I just know that someone out there can beat the score.  I use a G only wireless connection with aespsk2 security.  PS.  as long as you are smart and careful, a router is all you need.

Thx, I also use Ubuntu.  Maybe I should try that as well.  Greetings to all and have fun.

Hi everyone.... Let's see how Cox is doing this year!  Here is mine (wireless)

Here's what I did, I used cablenut, went to j79zlr's xp page and created a custom css file.  Applied the custom file in cablenut. Then I applied these tweaks of that page: Faster page loading

Disable DNS Caching

Increase Buffer

That's it.  I was at 6000/725.  Made my day.  I live in Phoenix.

VanBuren and j79zlr my hat's off to you!
