Finally I'm able to post!
Took forever to get the validation email (had to resend it). Anyways, after browsing the forums for over an hour I couldn't find the answer to my burning question:
What is the number in parentheses next to the larger download number?
1.4Mbs (175kbps)
I'm using CenturyLink (bought out Qwest)
Now, I'm paying for 1.5Mbps but my ACTUAL download speed is the second number, roughly 150-180kbps.
So, why have two numbers? if thats my speed, thats my speed, right?
I have a basic router and modem, a generic low model one (I think its N? or w/e) and a Linksys wireless thing. Not too sure which is which.
I downloaded that TCP thingy that I saw a link to here, and I've done a optimization a while ago using AVG PC Tuneup but what elses do I need to do for faster speeds? (BTW I'm switching to Cox's 15mbps this week I think)
So yeah, thank you for replying and helping me out.
