Appreciate the suggestions, folks. The system is very clean, but there are a lot of processes running (by choice). I use the computer several hours a day, and my heavy-duty surfing warrants a lot of security features. I have several layers of security. I use Ad Aware, Spyware S & D, and Spyware Doctor, and find Spyware Doctor the best by far. In addition to the anti-virus program, I have a resident five-star commercial anti-Trojan program, another resident commercial anti-logger program, and a few other goodies. The drive is always defragged. I use Diskeeper, which runs automatically at night, and I usually manually defrag at least once during the day. Once a week I run a boot-time defrag. I used to manually tweak the system using the items from Speedguide.net, but now I use TCPOptimizer. My desktop is directly connected to a Netgear 108 Mbps wireless NAT firewall router, and two other computers are connected wirelessly. Each computer has a software firewall. I have a resident VPN encrypted tunnel program running constantly, as well as a resident remote-access program. So in view of all that is running, I am happy with the performance. But I always am looking for improvements, so thanks for your suggestions.

Hi. The service recently raised the advertised download speed to 7 megabits per second, from 3. Most of the time I get between 6100 and 6600, but sometimes higher. My upload speed is usually in the middle 400s and occasionally in the 500s.

Thanks. I am using RoadRunner Desert Cities, and except for an occasional software glitch, or a cable problem due to the heat, which they fix quickly, I am very happy with the service. My highest download speed so far was an even 7 megabits per second.
