Thanks for the replies. I also noticed that using XP / Vista, I get much slower speeds, when comparing with linux. Is this normal?

I moved from mass. to virginia, and have noticed a significant increase in speed. I'm not sure what it is, but I'm pretty sure I have the same plan. I'm on the basic triple play plan, but I do have cat6 in this house.. :::..

6Mbps/384Kbps

Here are my download stats. I've done this test before, and I got a lot better scores, but for the past few weeks everything has been going very slow. I am only getting around 70% my hosts average, when I have one of the better plans. I talked to comcast, and just got a new modem, but still no changes. I've had a comcast tech come out, and he determined nothing was wrong. Should I have another come out and check? Could the last one not have known what was wrong? I have tried the guides and checklists on this forum, as well as cablenut's tcp optimizer... etc. Sometimes the speed will slow down so I can't use it at all anymore. Sometimes it will speed up. I have no idea whats wrong. Please advise. :::..
