porsche6714 Posted August 30, 2006 CID Share Posted August 30, 2006 Recently I just removed my mcafee internet security program and decided to run a quick speed test to see if there was a difference. To my suprise my download jumped 1000kbps. From around 3000-3400 all the way to 4300-4400. What a difference. And I'm only on the 4000/384 package with a few cablenut and tcp tweaks. :::..
