Well quite well im not talking about a LTE connection like Cable Guy says, in talking on my desktop wich i use for video editing, I have a steady 40MbpsD and 2.5MbpsU Cable Connection, i download a HD movie in less than 10 minutes (awesome), but i dont really see a big difference just surfing the web, i do have some plug-ins and extension with Firefox, but seems there is a not so big difference in PLAIN BROWSING when i compare it to my old 8 Mbps Connection.

Hi Friends, Not new to this forum but no post since more than 2 years. My Question. do you really feel a big difference while surfing with a 8Mbps and 40Mbps, obviosly downloanding and while on torrents its a really big difference, But just surfing?

A new netgear R7000, has a incredible wireless range

You should be able to find your Acers keyboard for around $12-15 bucks in Ebay

Try creating a new firefox profile, your new profile will start up with defaults, my recomendation before tweaking firefox its to back up your profile using FEBE,

Thats just crappy university policies, they are starting to do it at a lot of campuses

Google it. Vista battery saver by codeplex!!!!!!!!!!!!

Hi Folks, I have an acer 5100, with Vista pre-installed, have the same problem, it doesn't look for a different power profile while in battery power, though i can easily switch profiles manually. --rammolo

Hi, If you get 22/23kB like me in torrents, seems you're like me very lucky, thats true we pay for 550KB, but remember the slowest, my down test sure meets 500kB.

I usually get good speeds during daytime, it goes to a crawl in nights, but never as low as those posted speeds. --Rammolo

Hi folks, If you are running Vista with 2 Gigs you wont really note a difference unless you run memory hunger applications as Gaming, even cad applications will run sweet with just 1 gig, if you really see some difference with readyboost, with 2 gigs then you have a problem.

I prefer speedtest.net. like the GUI of the site, results are about the same in both sites.

Hi, Try This. http://www.media-convert.com/

You should know that all those phone providers use EVDO "evolution data optimized" its signal is transmitted from their cell towers, and they claim a maximum of 2.4 Mb, which is good, but just as craplink and any service provider, speeds are never guaranteed. usually with a good signal you will have an overall of 800Kb, thats really crappy. Usually service are bout 50 bucks a month and require contract, the good side is that it usually includes roaming.

Hi. At least dont even consider centennial....better consider dial up....

Since this crappy company opened their VOIP service, this is getting worst. what the shit nowhere to go ...DSL????

Mine is rated at 4.9

I ran vista Beta 1, not good, beta 2, Rc1, rc 2 OK, im running RTM and its quite polished, i like vista, but its price tag its too high, anyway when my evaluation copy expires on May 31, i will then decide if i buy it or keep XP.
