Heya,
I've been using SBC Yahoo!, (Ameritech), and my connection is rated at 3008 Kbps (downstream), 512 Kbps (upstream). I've been running with my isp for about a year or so. Originally I believe the speed we received was a 1.5mbit connection, and it seems it's been upgraded.

I kinda feel like I'm getting ripped off here, and was wondering how I'd be able to get that other 20%.
I'm not sure wether a registry tweak would fix this issue or not, I get pretty good speeds when using bittorrent and such, but since the connect is now, supposely something like 2.9mbit, I'm only at 1.3mbit...
My modem is a SpeedStream 5100, wondering if purchasing a new modem would change anything.
Thanks for any help.
