i have comcasts 6/384 kb package, downloaded cablenut with van burens latest settings. for some reason i have only hit past 4 mb once, most of the time the test is hung up and these are my results

Your connection is: 1249 Kbps      (about 1.2 Mbps)

You downloaded at: 152 kB/s

Your TRuSPEED: ^info^ 1336 Kbps :: 163 kB/s (7% overhead factored)

Bottom Line: You are running: 22 times faster than 56K and can download 1 megabyte in 6.74 second(s) 

Diagnosis: May need help : running at only 32.23 % of your hosts average (comcast.net) 

if theres anything tips or anyone want to help me out it would be greatly appreciated

ok now how do u guys get above the advertised speeds

well pretty much i had no choice but to buy the usb adapter, i just moved up north to my sisters and i didnt want to run a 25 foot long cable from her router to my room, and i ran out of pci slots for my computer.. well i figured out what was wrong and i had to switch out my ooold usb 1.1 card for my usb 2.0 card.. speeds a little better, just around 2.4MB

the linksys drivers i found on that site were somehow older versions of what i had, im heading to the store right now to pick up a new card, shouldnt hurt the bank too much, gonna pick up some more ram too... be back in about an hour or two

yea i tried that route already.. looks like im just gonna get a new ethernet card

actually...the device manager is showing it as a generic ethernet controller... should i just go out and buy a cheap ethernet card

im using cablenut right now and your tweaks, but it seems like the problem is definately in the adapter. any way of fixing it? sadly i dont have the receipt.

i bought a linksys usb wireless-b network adapter, and had good results with it, but i figured i would return it and pay the 10 dollars more for the wireless-g adapter.. well i made the switch and im downloading so much slower from about a 3mb download to a .8mb download... i tested my sisters laptop on the same wireless network and she still gets about a 3mb download.. im pretty aggravated trying to figure out what went wrong

im using the same settings now too,
