About the most the laptop is getting is 8.5...nothing over 10mb/s! I'll keep messing with it..

Laptop:

I actually tried the standard 15000 PPPoE setting instead and am getting a faster connection: ::::::::::..

Oh...of course after I spend all this time to post my results, I do 3 tests, all coming back at 14.6! Wired: ::::::::::..

Of course this is wired, to make sure it's not my linksys adapter. I'll try that out and see what the difference is. Anyone have a custom FiOS 15/2 setting file? Wireless: :::..

I just got my Verizon FiOS 15/2 installed today. I'm used to my RR 10/2 connection, which always gave me consistant speeds of around 9.8 on average (wireless). This new connection is varying from 11-13, but nothing much higher than that. Please give me some advice! Thanks in advance... 1. Windows XP, Media Center Edition, Version 2002, SP2. 2. Verizon FiOS 15/2 3. Cablenut, with Verizon 15/2 settings Test Results:

Yeah, that's with CableNut and VanBuren's settings. Was a lot slower before.

It's usually this fast, but sometimes I get rare tests of around 2Mbps. I do have a 10Mbps bandwidth, not the usual 7 that RR Tampa is now at. I want the 15Mbps speed, but they won't let me upgrade without getting digital phone service. Not even close to VanBuren's speeds... :::..

Thanks for all your help, Fallow. When I got home last night, I noticed my computer had an error. Then, it shutdown, and since then, I cannot log in to windows. The error kept saying: "Boot from ATAPI CD-ROM", and nothing would happen. I even messed with BOIS settings, and asked a question at www.experts-exchange.com, still awaiting an answer. So I went out today and bought a new Gateway X2 4200+. Now I just gotta get this one 'up to speed'. Edit: Problem solved. The previous tests on this thread were done directly to a cable modem. When I had the wireless network adapter connected, I was only getting 6Mbps. After checking the speeds on my new computer, (connected through the network adapter) I was getting only 3Mbps, but with the Vanburen's cablenut v8,Cable & DSL 10000 file, I'm getting 10Mbps. What a big difference this program, vanburen's settings, and a new computer make! :::..

Actually made it a little slower.

I ran netstat -an, which works on win2000, and got this: and this: also, the only thing showing up on CCleaner is tracking cookies.

Yeah I've ran all the tests, I'm clean. I'll try the test again w/o my EZ Firewall on. No IM or P2P running. Also, my computer's role is set to a Workstation.. I'm sure this affects it..how do I change this, I forgot. Here's my tracert:

I'm running Win2000, and that netstat command doesn't work for me..?

Ok. I ran MSConfig and deleted most of the startup programs. I also ran the Cable & DSL 10000.css file. I'm getting a little better speeds: but what about all the ports open in netstat..how do I get rid of these? Also, after shutting down EZ Firewall, my speeds increase even more: Should I try a different firewall? Any suggestions?

I have a wireless g router, and a wireless b network adapter (both linksys). I'm showing full signal strength and link quality. I also have a 10Mbps connection, though I am only getting 4.5Mbps through my network adapter. Is there any other ways to speed this up, or is this normal for a wireless b network adapter? BTW, I have already sped up my connection considerably through the cablenut prog. Thanks in advance. edit: I just installed a wireless g network adapter today, and saw my bandwidth increase from 4.5 to almost 6mbps. Still far away from the 10 I could have...
