After uninstalling my antivirus, and running all of my cleaning/reg fix utilities, here are the results I got from doing the speed test on this site:

I don't know if the speed test has been fixed on this website, or if it was my antivirus removal that did the trick. However I would like to note that in all of my prior tests, my anti virus app was completley shutdown.

dial up..... i really cant remember the last tim i had that. I remember i had something called CompuServe though. Worse experience of my life (it was connected to AOL!). I thought cox was the best untill i found out about fios through this site.

I see. Well when ever the internet pisses me off, at least ill still have my pro computer. Cost me way too much money so i have to justify the cost by using it as often as I can. Thats why I decided to get into tweaking and trying to make everything faster. One step at a time though.

Thats cool. I appreciate all the help and work you guys have put into this site. One thing I find interesting, and I don't know if its a cox thing or not, is the fact that when I download smaller files, my download speed gets extremely low (even to the point of 50 kb/s), and it only hits about 1.4 mb/s with larger file downloads (like 30mb and above).

This doesnt look much better at all...

I am running windows xp pro, and i use the speed test on this website. Here are my latest results after applying the cablenut calc tweaks:

I still think my connection can get faster. Is there anything else I can do? I have a cat5 ethernet cable, im using a linksys wcg200 router (has DOCIS 2.0), i only have the tcp/ip box checked under network adapters and there are no boxes checked under lan settings in internet options.

Also, i just tested the speed at speedtest.net using the L.A. Server (im in san diego), and it said i scored 12.5mbps dl and 1mbps upload (ping@ 42ms).

Cool, Ill see if it makes a change in those to boxes. Ill also try your file. I think it sucks how im paying for the 12mbps and only getting 5 to 6 mbps dl when I test it on this site. Ill let you guys know how the changes work out .

It does fill in the boxes when I click ok, but it does not calculate them for 12mbps download. It only does it for up to a 10mbps download, even if you put a higher number in the calculator.

Hey all I'm new, so sorry if this question has already been answered, but I live in San Diego and have cox premeir internet service rated at 12mbps download, and 1 mbps upload. When I go to put the download value of 12000kbps in the calculator, an error message pops up saying "That would be nice, please enter a real value". My question is what can I do to work around this, and how can I set up my cablenut settings? Thanks.
