I am running Windows 2k pro, I have a SF5100 modem and a Linksys router and am using the onboard NIC on my ASUS A7V8X MB.  I have tweaking software, cable nut and tcpoptimizer.  My ISP is Cox Cable and they advertise 4000/512.

Here is the URL for my dslreport test:

Here are the results from the autocheck

that looks good, try disable all tweaks and see what speed you get with windows default settings

open cablenut, click delete cablenut tweaks and click save to registry

reboot

powercycle your modem, leave it off for atleast 30 seconds and make a new speedtest
