  1. to be honest, i buy the cheapest dvds that i can get, about a week ang i got 100 dvds bestbuy, for 19.99. and they were dynex dvds. and ive never had a problem with any ofthem, never gotten a bad one at all.

    there really is no difference in anyones dvds. they are all made the same way. so weather your spending $70 or $20 there is no difference.

    they are all made in taiwan, probally by the same company.

    I am like dlewis23. I try to buy the cheapest one I can find as well. Although I have to say I have bought some really cheap ones and they gave me many problems. So to sum it up, use discretion, don't buy any that is too cheap cause they may be bad. I am at work so I can't recall the name of the DVD's but I will check for you. Memorex, Fuji, and Sony are all good ones. ;)

  2. I see that you tested in the afternoon when many people would be online I suggest retesting again early in the morning or late at night. Then repost. Post a tracert to testmy.net if you will and make sure you x-out your personal ip address, as this is a public site that anyone can view. Go to Start, Run, type CMD, type tracert www.testmy.net. Copy what you see and paste here. Welcome to the forum bluize. :)

  3. Hi hid. DVD+R is a DVD disc that allows multiple layers for one disc. A DVD-R only allows one layer. Multi layer DVD+R can allow extra capacity per disc! It cost more though. Hope this answers yur question.

  4. What time of day did you run the tests. And yes with the right tweaks you can go over your cap. I am over my cap as well. Do this if you are still unsure. Download a large file from the net Microsoft or anyone and see what you final DL speed is. Then compare it to the test. testmy.net is usually the most accurate test for me and I have probably tried them all. Welcome to the forum Brownie2k2001.  :hello:

  5. Well, you shouldn't have both tcp optimizer and cablenut. They can conflict with each other. I recommend uninstalling tcp optimizer and sticking with cablenut. After doing this clear your cache, cookies, temp internet files, and test again. Maybe this will do the trick. Welcome to the forum.

  6. Oh yea, I forgot about the second part of the question. Well there is quite a few things to do about your pc speed. Depending on your system you can turn off many services through control panel-admin. tools-services, make sure unneeded items are deleted from your startup folder, Keep your system defragmented, and make sure you keep your cookies, temporary internet files, and temp folder clear. You can download CCleaner which I use and like to clear these things and more for you. Basically you are just freeing up more ram so you arent using virtual memory. Hope this helps, and welcome to the forum! :)

  7. Depends on which system you have. On most systems you can right click My computer, properties, advanced, under performance click settings, advanced, under virtual memory click change, set it to what you need. :)
