I just got my FIOS installed yesterday, it went great! It took forever, but there were no issues. Now, for my speeds: :::..

Thank you VanBuren, glad I found this site. I am not running WIn XP SP2, I am running Win 2K Pro Service Pack 4.

I am running Windows 2k pro, I have a SF5100 modem and a Linksys router and am using the onboard NIC on my ASUS A7V8X MB. I have tweaking software, cable nut and tcpoptimizer. My ISP is Cox Cable and they advertise 4000/512.
