I don't understand. I use this thread as a place for my general questions, not the boost itself. Now I have two very different results with two speed test web pages. I'm not sure which one is right, but I was hoping somebody here would know

I'm having some isssues with testmy.net. While dsl reports is giving me a very good score, testmy.net is giving me a very low score. Is it a deception? I mean.. Which one is right?

Oh come on JKAT, what are you crapping on us? I just posted a speed that looks that way, and it turns out that was just a cached test. Maybe it's the same with you, are you sure you're not doing something wrong? With Comcast, that speed is impossible to get unless you've uncapped your modem or something, which of course would end up you getting your Internet Access suspended.

AgentGod: I was getting that exact same speed. I used TCP Optimizer, and increased the connection to about 20 Megs and now I'm getting these speeds. Maybe that can help you out. I retested, keeps getting better and better. :::..

I have the 8/768 package and this is what I get with Internet Explorer. I can't complain with the speed, but it won't bother me if I find a way to get more out of it. Any ideas? ::::::::::..

I retested a couple of times. How can they not be real, maybe there's a way to access the PowerBoost of comcast and AOL does that?

How is it I'm receiving this speed from the AOL, and not from the Internet Explorer. Does anybody know how can I tweak up my system to get this speed on Internet Explorer? :::..
