im running windows xp pro , with service pack 2 , and have got all the updates , i did disable my norton ,.bt i cnt disable my hardware firewall lol , so wud u say my speed is okish? i connect at 2.2mbs; bt i get slow speeds sometimes like speeds of 250k? n i heard of someone whether its true or not , that he gt 700k a second download speed on his 2 mb n i kinda find that hard 2 believe , coz if u do teh maths behind it 2272 divide 8 = 284k , so 284kbs will be the fastest download speed he will get at a constatn stayin arnd that speed. n i thort if he downloads at 700k he wud b on what 700k multipy that by 8 is 5600 , so he wud need to connect at 5.6 megs , bt he says he has a 2mb connection. now i think he is eithe rbullshittin or his isp have made him faster bt he dnt realize it . ny1 agree with my theory or not? n btw ny1 gt any tips or hints to tweak my modem n make it faster? bearin in mind my other post which i started this subject with?

It works fine , bt i get really slow download speeds. i no what you might think a router and hardware firewall its tricky or hard or w/e 2 do , i just dont no what to do to make teh thing go faster below are teh results on what i got in the speed tests , iv installed cable nut n ran it , but still get slow speeds. please look at the results below and tell me what you think and what i shud do n how plz!!! cheers DOWNLOAD TESTS Medium - 579 kB ---------------------------- :::..
