Forgot to add that I had pretty good speeds untill yesterday when I thought Id clear out my computer, defrag it, clear internet files and cache. Thought that would increase my speed but it made it drastically worse.

Hi, Im running Windows XP SP2 with AOL broadband advertising speeds of 7.5Mbps. Ive got Cablenut installed and selected 'ADSL Windows 2K Fast'.

Why were those results different? It also says that Im only running at 30%, but is that just in general with all AOL users (inc. citites and what not, which I imagine would be faster) because Ive only got 2mb broadband, untill next week -(very excited) Why is the AOL software different from using other web browsers?

I have DSL, and I used Cablenut to tweal my system. :::..

It seems pretty constant this time. How is it that it changed over the course of 10 mins or so?

I think I used MSN explorer for the first test. I noticed that AOL isnt as good as IE or MSN at certain things, how is that? I clean out my computer regularly anyway. My speed has increased, but how is it that Im not getting the full 2mb. Is this test completely accurate, Ive always used it but my friend has said that she gets different results on different testing sites.

I want to make the most out of this connection. Anyone got any ideas?
