It did increase my download just a bit, but with RR I'm stuck at 44kb upload.  Also I noticed a slight lag when acessing websites with the new settings.  Still, it helped. 

Dude, how do you come up with these numbers? 

Hi VanBuren.

I have a Linksys 8 Port Switch fed from SW 2.0 +Fixes6.  I disabled it all and went directly into this pc, thinking the switch and firewall was slowing me down.  Then I ran those tests.  4.8 is good from an advertised 5 line speed, but I was just wishful thinking I guess.  You know how that is. 

Thanks for writing the tweak. 

Edit:  SP2

Hi.

I just applied VanBurens cable tweak file and I got real close to the same results as I did before I applied it.  Am I supposed to re-boot the machine?  Not that I'm complaining about RR but every little bit helps.

I'm using Packet8 on RR cable.  So far, for the first month it has been absolutely wonderful!  No dropped calls, no static, echo, nothing.  Just clean audio from both sides.  For an additional 4.95 a month I had a virtual phone number set up for distant family.  I'll never return to land lines again.  I have  read on other sites some problems related to Packet8, but I'm here to tell you, they don't exist on my end.

When I first received the module and hooked it up, the call quality was a little less than perfect.  A quick firmware upgrade solved that issue instantly.  If you have a solid isp (no packet loss, great uptime, etc.) give them a try.  I don't believe you'll be disappointed.

BTW, I'm not affiliated with P8 in any shape form or fashion.  I just call it as I see it.

Nice form you guys have here.  Awesome speed test too.  I had been putting off joining until I saw this post.
