Welcome to the forum SuperNode 

So if that is a 6 meg package,( I am not very good at distinguishing between them) those are some fine speeds. 

Hope you enjoy your stay here at TMN. 

[SuperNode]

Thanks.

I am using RoadRunner Desert Cities, and except for an occasional software glitch, or a cable problem due to the heat, which they fix quickly, I am very happy with the service. My highest download speed so far was an even 7 megabits per second.

[tommie gorman]

What are your advertised speeds?

Mine is 700/128.

You lucky dog.

Hi.

The service recently raised the advertised download speed to 7 megabits per second, from 3. Most of the time I get between 6100 and 6600, but sometimes higher. My upload speed is usually in the middle 400s and occasionally in the 500s.

[tommie gorman]

I think others on here are getting better speeds than that. I saw one earlier that was close to 8000. You never know. And he said he was also on the 7 package. 

I am assuming you are running a clean computer?

And have you tweaked it as of yet?

SuperNode welcome to the forum.

thats a really good speed for a 7mbps connection.

[SuperNode]

Appreciate the suggestions, folks.

The system is very clean, but there are a lot of processes running (by choice).

I use the computer several hours a day, and my heavy-duty surfing warrants a lot of security features. I have several layers of security.

I use Ad Aware, Spyware S & D, and Spyware Doctor, and find Spyware Doctor the best by far.

In addition to the anti-virus program, I have a resident five-star commercial anti-Trojan program, another resident commercial anti-logger program, and a few other goodies.

The drive is always defragged. I use Diskeeper, which runs automatically at night, and I usually manually defrag at least once during the day. Once a week I run a boot-time defrag.

I used to manually tweak the system using the items from Speedguide.net, but now I use TCPOptimizer.

My desktop is directly connected to a Netgear 108 Mbps wireless NAT firewall router, and two other computers are connected wirelessly. Each computer has a software firewall.

I have a resident VPN encrypted tunnel program running constantly, as well as a resident remote-access program.

So in view of all that is running, I am happy with the performance. But I always am looking for improvements, so thanks for your suggestions.

[tommie gorman]

Well with "All of that running, I would say those are some great speeds! 

I use the TCP Optimizer also, it is so much simpler for me. And I think I get the same speeds as the cablenuters.
