I am going to hold off from doing any changes for a couple of days. My speed have greatly improved. :::.. Download Stats ..::: Connection is:: 6661 Kbps about 6.7 Mbps (tested with 5983 kB) Download Speed is:: 813 kB/s Tested From:: https://testmy.net/ (server2) Test Time:: Tue Sep 27 18:33:33 EDT 2005 Bottom Line:: 119X faster than 56K 1MB download in 1.26 sec Diagnosis: Awesome! 20% + : 54.01 % faster than the average for host (Comcast.net) Validation Link:: https://testmy.net/stats/id-TBGH1Y8DZ But on average my speed now is around 4300Kbps.

Thanks. Will do. I have the latest firware though.

What/whose setting do you use now? And how is your speed performance vs advertised speed?

Everything checked Ok.

Tried Vanburen setting V7, TCP Optimizer auto setting and setting caclulated from http://www.j79zlr.com/cablenutXP2k.php and I am stuck at 3.1mgbs on average.

Is there any value I need to calculate (e.g latency Rwin etc..) other than simply installing cablenut and choose Vanburen cable ccs setting 6000/384 and apply and restart PC?

Applied those settings and NO CHANGE!! Test at this site http://nitro.ucsc.edu/ actually gives me speeds below 1 mbps.

I am going to try out cablenut tonight.

I called Comcast regarding the same issue. Couldn't do a thing about it. They just referred me to this site. I am supposed to get 6 Mbps but I am only getting 3.1 Mbps. I have done speed test at least at 6 different sites, multiple times. All reporting between 3000-3400 Kbps. I used TCP Optimizer for tweaks and I regularly run checks for malicious program with 8 different virus and spyware programs. i really don't know where to go from here.

I answered my won question I guess, my router is the Linksys BEFSR41 . THIS IS FROM LINKSYS WEBSITE: " BEFSR41 EtherFast

I did RWIN tweak , run ccleaner and uninstalled Zone Alarm and voila! speed was back to 3.6mbps. I installed Zone Alarm back and speed went down to 1.8mbps. Now I know who the culprit is. My question is do I have to live with this compromise or are they any other FREE firewall that I can use that won't have the same effect on speed?? If there are no free firewall then which one should I buy? I am connected thorough Linksys router (BTW,doesn't linksys routers have built-in firewall?).

My Comcast speed is on average1.4Mbps download &
