couple of days ago i upgraded my dsl connection from 1.5MB to 3.0/768. when i had the 1.5 mb plan my speed result accordiing to the test on this site was close to 1.5 mb but now with 3.0 mb its like 2 mbs only. i am only 2980 ft away from the verizon CO.

Also i was wondering which stats do you guys trust most. one from this website or the one from the dsl modem. b/c my dsl modem shows something like this

    Down stream speed 3360kbits's

upstream speed 864 kbits/s

so whish one is more accurate.

The Modem stats are provisioning stats. VZ over provisions in an attempt to "offset" if you will some of the inherent losses. The two stats will not match.  Your measured numbers are a tad low. Have you tried any different test sites or some of the Mirror sites here that may be closer and more accurate for your location ?

And also, i would only trust the stats from a online speedtest and not verizons. My gateway also says i am at 3360, but that doesnt matter if i'm not actually downloading at that does it?

About ur connection, install cablenut, and if u already have it, make sure u change the settings to 3.0MB

Your looking good ! Don't let the "83.4 % of your hosts average (verizon.net) " throw you, it's the screwed up data base here. :angry5:

The 3360 is your provisioning. It's over provisioned to compensate for some overhead losses. Your ready to Rock and Roll !  :D
