Hello, I dont understand why my speeds dont exceed Van Burens since my cable modem is uncapped. I have the fastest Midco has to offer. Ok i did finially get a big improvent to the tests at this by using that otmizer thing and setting it to 20Mb connection. but all the other test sites will give me like 3 to 6 depending on which one i go too. like DSL Reports never gives me anything higher then a 5.8 but which amazes since theres nothing holding my cable modem back i should be blowing the doors off so to speak. Im running through an older computer specs are: Win XP Pro AMD Athlon 700 512MB Ram 80Gig 7200 8mb buffer HD TNT2 AGP Card LG DVD Burner 19Inch Wide Screen LCD The only software i keep running in the back ground is Symantecs Antivirus Corp Ver 10 I dont use a software firewall just use the NAT and SPI running through my Netgear Router WGT624 Ver 3 and its a wireless router but i have that portion disabled. I know most of its probably my computer. I am a maitance geek always keeping everything optimized. What do you think that i could do or why do you think that this is happing to me. My cable modem is Ambit. Thanks for you help This was my last speed test i took after using vanburens cable nut 100mb one :::..

I dont understand why my connection isnt faster then yours since my cable modem is uncapped.

Wow awsome speeds only i could get like that but then maybe since i am running on a slower computer, 700 Athlon with 512mb Ram thats probably why the cpu cant calculate that high of a speed because right now i just upgraded to Midco.net highest speed they offer and thats an uncapped download and a 512 upload. Uncapped i think i should be screaming fast but before on this site i was only getting around 5500 down even after the upgrade from 8mb down to uncapped. so then i downloaded the speedguide optmizer and set it around 8mb but that made it worse so then i moved it all the way to twenty and that made a big difference as you can see. :::.. testmy.net test results ..::: Download Connection is:: 11744 Kbps about 11.74 Mbps (tested with 12160 kB) Download Speed is:: 1434 kB/s Upload Connection is:: 485 Kbps about 0.49 Mbps (tested with 1013 kB) Upload Speed is:: 59 kB/s Tested From:: https://testmy.net (Server 1) Test Time:: 2006/09/28 - 4:09am D-Validation Link:: https://testmy.net/stats/id-3ROYEIA6W U-Validation Link:: https://testmy.net/stats/id-2QFYLOXTU User Agent:: Mozilla/4.0 (compatible; MSIE 6.0; Windows NT 5.1; SV1; InfoPath.1) [!]

ive tried to tweak my settings and actually seemed to make things a little slower

This what i average at this site, but www.speakeasy.net/speedtest its faster there it tells you to click the closer server to you and run it and there i get around 7500 down so that tells me that the farther away the test server the slower your connection will be.

I have Midco.net out of SD its a cable connection, they have two packages one is the regular 8000/256 and the other one is uncaped down/512 up I used to have the uncaped one and got around 11 to 14Mb connection but after i hooked up netgear router it slowed down to the reg connection

thought this was nice
