I live in the service area, just no active ISP yet that I can get on with... Guaranteed when it's available, I'll have the 100Mb package.. You all think it's great, but you dont have to pay the property taxes that funded the project!! Nothing in life's a free ride, everything has a cost one way or another.....

That and I tweaked a bunch on the computer itself... Updated drivers, played with the NIC settings, stuff like that.. Biggest improvement was when I ran Nvidia's ntune program... Made the computer itself run MUCH faster! I never could have dreamed you could tweak a computer as much as you can... It's a blast!

A bit more tweaking and voila....

Finally got over the 4.0Mbps.....

Cool... I maxed at 3.986 last night..... Sooooooo close!!  I just want to see the red bar once.... The installer told me they may be upping the cap to 5Mbps in a couple of weeks, so I may have to try another tweak then.. Maybe I'll almost get 6Mbps then! Much thanks for the tweaks VB, you really are the man!!!

hey Just_rob and welcome to the forum

no problem im glad it helped, are you on the 3 Mbps package?

VanBuren

Yes, 3 Mbps package.... Yesterday I was only DL at 18Kb/sec, called Comcast for some help (and amazingly enough got fantastic customer service) then got up to 1.3Mbps, ran your tweak, and ran off 3.639!  I later ran a 3.9...

Is there any more tweaks I can do to maybe break the 4.0 Mbps threshold? Or am I maxed out with the twek I ran?

I thought 1.3Mbps was pretty quick (coming from Dial-up) but 3.9Mbps is blazing for me! Thanks again!! You da MAN!!

I just ran your tweak, and went from about 1.3 Mbps to 3.639! Thanks for the tweak!
