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.

Gotcha, everything is beautiful.

Hello dlewis23, yes, I found them with your help. Now I would like to know how I can read the replies.

I have posted my speed scores yesterday, and a few times before, but when I go back to read the comments, I can no longer find the postings.

They all were coming into the Inbox until recently.

I was checking and deleting old e-mail, and when I went to the bulk mail folder, there were all my recent e-mails from Testmy.net. Does anyone have an idea why it would suddenly change from the Inbox? I have not made any change in my security settings, nor have I written in any message rules. I am using Outlook Express 6.

Hi dlewis23, Yes, I did a little bit of tweaking. I use TCP Optimizer from Speed Guide Inc. version 1.0.1.1 Windows defaults at lower settings, (I was getting about 3 mbs and the tech told me that was about the best I could get) I set MaxMTU : 1500 TCP Receive window: 62240 I was using a Motorola SB3100. I found a SB4100 at a flea market ($5.00) and now I am up around the 6 mbs speeds. I am also getting 758kbs on the upload. The SB4100 is DOCIS 1.1 where as the SB3100 was only DOCIC 1.0

Thanks for the feedback. The problem is probably due to the fact that WebWasher clears all cookies after each session. I'll try it the way that Buntz suggested, I'll install the CookieCuller extension and then give it a try.

When I log, in the bar with the selections: Home, Download Tests etc.it is always black, this makes it difficult to read. I click on Theme and change it to blue, which is fine, and I also went into the Theme list and selected blue, and clicked on "use it". That works ok for the session, but when I log off and return later, the bar is back to black, and I have to go do it all over. Is there any way to make the blue selection the default?

I enjoy listening to music while computing. I recently downloaded Comcast Rhapsody Radio. I could not get the Rhapsody player to function, but I was able to get the radio in a small stand alone window. In order for me to get the radio started I have to: open my firefox browser, go to HOME Comcast.net, sign in, and then click on the radio button, then I can close the browser if I care to and listen to the radio. I have tried unsuccessfully to create a desktop short cut for the radio. If anyone has been able to create a short cut, please let me know.
