Hi
I just got cable internet a few days ago, and I have been messing with it ever since. Adelphia advertises 4Mb down for the service i'm getting and I think like 512 Mb? Anyways, the upload speed is close, but the download speed is terrrible, and I want it to be faster. So here goes as I try to follow all the steps in that sticky:

estimate = 0.54 based on packet size = 11Kbits, RTT = 159.5msec, and loss = 0.016990291
The theoretical network limit is 0.54 Mbps
The NDT server has a 8192.0 KByte buffer which limits the throughput to 401.25 Mbps
Your PC/Workstation has a 500.0 KByte buffer which limits the throughput to 24.49 Mbps
The network based flow control limits the throughput to 1.11 Mbps

In addition to all this I use a Linksys wireless router, keep my computer virus and spyware free, and have used cablenut, so I don't know what else to do. Hope someone has some suggestions.
Thanks,
