Hee hee, yes I'm very pleased with that - just from a modem change. And on AOL, to boot? Surprised, too. GeForce 7600 and 512 more memory in tomorrow ... I may end up with a pretty good machine. Mike

Yeah, helped some - 123 Kbps up to 13038 ...

Ordered a 5120 from Newegg ... $54.00 shipped. thanks for the help guys, I'll post my findings when the new modem is up. Mike

Yeah, tried that. MSIE (with AOL out of the picture) was just as bad. I think it's the modem. MikeTTF

Link didn't work for me. I'm thinking modem now. We've had this old 3Com sharkfin for 5 years. What is the best cable modem? (for Insight BB) Mike

Well, seems I've tried about everything I've read here with little improvment. Love to know what your CableNut / Registry parameters are? Mike

Thank You!

The Ali comment is NOT appreciated by me. I can personally assure you that there is no humor hiding in the condition ... "Fellow Broadbander", indeed. Mike Falcone http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wps2gog8_EM

Yep, its just as bad on MSIE ... upload (300kbs) is twice the download (178kbs) AOL is ver. 8

No Zone Alarm, Norton or McAfee. And as far as AOL goes ... the test here says the AOL average is 7381 kbps. I would be VERY VERY happy with a Tenth 1/10 of that.

I'm leery of doing anything with this. Can some helpful person look this over and recommend what to do? Thanks!

I'm clean and have both Cable Nut and TCP Optimizer DL'd What can I do with them?

Thanks. Yes I'm a big believer in scanning the crap out of my computer. It's very clean and very slow.

Thanks, I'm dling it at 768 bytes a second. (That's bytes, not kilobytes) I've never seen a speed that low.
