No, no back button and no Internet accelerator. I have done this test many times, on different days, and consistently get 500-600 when using Firefox, and 1400-3000 when using IE. It makes no sense to me at all. If it were java-based, then maybe the difference between Sun Java and MS Java Virtual Machine might have something to do with it - but since it's not, I'm perplexed. Several people on the DirecWay forum on DSLReports have mentioned noticing the same difference.

Sorry, misinformation from another forum. At any rate, what would explain the huge discrepancy between 1. capped speed vs. the test, and 2. Firefox vs. IE?

Since the DW6000 is capped at 1mbps, how can this be right? I consistently show scores of 550-650 mbps using Firefox, but 2000-3000 using IE6. Is there an issue with the different Java platforms used by these two, since this is a java-based test? I used the large test file and repeated a few times after clearing cache and all temp files, etc. When downloading real-world files from websites, I get an average of 100-120 kbps - no where near this speed. :::..
