Hey I cant believe its added. I have the Midco max package which is now 25/2 I like the extra upload. it will be nice when Midco finishes with there 50/5 connection to the rest of the areas, 50 meg down can we say "Faster then a speeding bullet lol"

You, really don't need to defrag your computer everyday. You shouldnt even have to reboot your modem everyday either.

What happened to your insane speeds that you were always getting like over a year ago?

I have always like NOD32 by Eset

Yes well if your inbound is protected thats the most important and if your running an AV program especially i know for fact NOD32 does protect you against all forms of malware so therefore you woudlnt have anything installed on your pc to produce malacious activity. Not to mention Vista runs by default as a limited user anyway so theres really no damage a program can do especially since UAC will pop up and ask you if your wanting that program to run especially if the programs not installed but then again if everybody used some sort of security software and dont open up attachments from unknown users and dont download programs from unknown sites then you should be fine. Also I do agree that if a person does want to have control outbound connection where they can configure the rules then yes the'll have to download a third party software or in my experinces its better just to have a suite and make sure there firewall does both incoming and outbound. Vista on the other does some outbound protection in the background.

Yes the Smart Security version of NOD32 does include a firewall just like every other suite does, i myself dont use a third party firewall as i have found out they tend to slow down networks and also if you have a router with a NAT and SPI then windows built in firewall will be good enough. NOD32 antivirus does everthing except it doesnt come with the firewall but the smart security edition does

Most likely its a port scanner, scanning yoru ports, do you have a NAT router or are u just connecting directly to the cable modem. I myself like NOD32 its alot faster then Kaspery and has gotten the most VB100 awards then any other, Kasp can slow your connection down especially if you use the web filtering.

try tweaking your settings especially with xp since the default settings are not optimized for high speeds. go over to www.speedguide.net and download the TCP Optimizer tool

Are you using Vista or XP??? and where do you live, like what state and do you live in town or in the country those have alot of factors when it comes with speed, I can get around 20mb with my provider with all my wireless laptops so its not the wireless thats the issue its either your OS, your router, wireing, and even settings.

How true lol

well then with the help from the gov i am mearly stating that maybe the technology would be farther ahead then it is right now.

Pretty sad that America is that far behind in technology then other countries. I think if the Gov stepped in and started to spend money on the network such as cell phone technology and the internet. I'll be happy when the average car itself can drive you to your destination if you choose it too.

oh about 500 a month, thats just crazy. Bandwidth doesnt cost that much otherwise other countries would sell theres alot higher, like Vanburen had that 100mb pipe for like 40 a month if i remember correctly.

wow, thats more then my DVR and HSI all together lol

I could have sworn you had the 20 meg package now you all of a sudden have the 35 meg package, oh by the way how much does that cost a month???

Are we speed hungry

Heres mine

I remember playing games on the Commodore 64 but i really got into it when i was the only person in HS to elect in taking CAD for the whole year and then ended up reading the whole DOS 3.1 book. the computer i was using for CAD had a 20 Meg HD and 4 megs of RAM. I believe the processor was like a 20 or 25 Megahertz. I remember buying a Gateway back in 1992 it was a 486DX Turbo, with the turbo pressed in it would go 66 Megahertz. WOW smoking i thought it also came with 4 megs of RAM 420 Meg HD and 3.5 flopply, and a cd rom drive. came with windows for workgroups 3.11. Got dialup internet though the phone company for like 50 a month for like 20 hours a month of service. Used Netscape Communicator for email and browsing. ok i think thats enough i could go on and on and on with all the stuff i worked with but i think after i read the DOS book and got into creating batch files and doing some Qbasic programming is what really got me interested and ended up going to college for computer networking.
