I am located in NJ in the EDT zone.......how can I change to this time when running speed tests?

Could you please tell me what the "current speed index" is based on? It seems to be way lower than my actual test.

When I run my speed test, the time defaults to GMT 7. How can I change it to default at GMT 5?

Howdy,I have a couple of programs that really improved my download speed: I am running WinXP sp3 3.5 processor and 4 gb of memory. Below is my test results. I think what really helped me was TCP Optimizer: https://www.speedguide.net/downloads.php (free) I also use CCleaner: http://www.filehippo.com/download_ccleaner/ (does a great job cleaning temp files and registryZ) And last, but not least: Auslogics Defrag: http://www.filehippo.com/download_auslogics_disk_defrag/ Below are my test results I hope this helps you Your connection is: 15655 Kbps or 15.7 Mbps You downloaded at: 1911 kB/s or 1.9 MB/s You are running: 273 times faster than 56K and can download 1 megabyte in 0.54 second(s) Member Ident:Username:leoinnj CompID:6272427475 Test Time:: 2010-09-09 04:00:56 GMT Test Browser and OS info: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.9.2.

I have been using AVG for a couple of years. I recommend it to all of my friends. I use Comcast, and you can download Mcafee free, but from all that I have read, it is not very compatable with WinXP Pro.

I am using Firefox version 1.5

I seem to be having a problem also. I have the latest version for WinXP, and some sites it works fine, while other sites inform me that I need an upgrade. The Adobe site tells me that I have the latest player, and that it is working fine.
