well i know i have a thread about cable but my parents are devorced and one has cable and the other one has dsl so anyway:

i did the large file test with our dsl and it got 218k, 27kb/s. that seems prutty slow. (it is qwest DSL by the way). i got the same thing on both our Pentium 4 and our apple G4 running os X. i am messing around with tcp optimizer but i doubt it will do much. does dsl get slower the further you are away from the dsl destributer place thing? i think it is your plain dsl, it is only $15/mo for unlimeted access but i thought it should still be faster then that. that wasnt even in the blue.

i am getting 30 kb/s download speed with my comcast cable! (according to the test on this site) we have a 802.11 b router which is what i am useing in the test. i am prutty sure it is not a software problem but i am going to find out by connecting my laptop directly into the cable modem. is it a possibility that becuase we have so many splitters on our cable for all the different tvs in our house that the signal could be dimmed down by that?
