Microsoft doesn't run the servers, at the beginning of the game, the person with the upload is picked to be the host, and if the host quits, the games pauses for a second, then chooses the person with the next best upload to be host. So it could also have to do with how good of a connection the host has and how far you are away from him, not just your connection. So if the host's connection isn't very good, that may be another reason you're in the red or yellow.

Both the 2992KB and the 5983KB, but it's allright now I'm back up to 1996Kbps.

Hahahaha 1kbps from your download cap SOOOOOOO close

Has something been done to the download test? Because I'm only getting abour 1750 down when I usually get about 2000.

I'm currently at a local college, UCA, band camp ( I know, I'm a band geek), and I'm staying on campus. My friend Monkey brought his computer, and I decided to come here to see what kind of pipe this place is on. And............. :::..

Yeah, do that and copy and paste the results here, don't just tell us. I think this guy might actually be getting >200% if his cap, it's really beginning to sound like it's not cached.

Wow that's a huge difference.

Wow, someone else actually has the same problem as me. Tweaking actually made my connection slower for some reason, then I removed cablenut and reset the registry settings, and bam, my connection was back. Without tweaks: :::..

Yeah, mostly LAN (usually world of warcraft ) Sometimes CS, battle for middle earth, Halo 1 or 2 (xbox), which I'm fine with, just not world of warcraft . By the way, for any Halo players out there...................... Halo 1 > Halo 2

Wow that's nice, when I saw new DSL I thought oh well another 2.5-3 Mbps test, BORING. But then I opened up the thread and I was like 6.4, that's fast.

I think it has like 22 computers or something, but at any given time there aren't but maybe 10 computers being used (except of fridays and saturdays) and this line suits it just fine. Most of the people play on LAN (which is actually the whole point of a gaming center) so there's no need for anything faster. I don't even think it's possible to get anything faster here unless it's really expensive like T1, and even then, the download would be way slower.

AMEN TO THAT, I have a GeForce 4 MX 4000 and I HATE it.

Man, will it be any more expensive for new subscribers?

I didn't know Cox offered a home service like that, you must have business service.

No, 75 feet of ethernet shouldn't really hurt your speed.

Post the whole test like you did the download.

My cable is not upgrading.
