BTW DUDE,

  level3.net is not dialup, I did a check on the hosts average scores and they are about 1.5/256 (https://testmy.net/host_stats.php?host=level3.net&notboolean=1&submit=)...

WOW THAT'S SOME FAST DIAL-UP!!

Sorry to say, but I doubt its true, dialup is not capable of speeds up to 8Mbps.  Probably a cached test.

BTW, welcome to the forum.  Please, don't be afraid to start your own topic next time.  This one was created as a reference guide for tweaking dialup.

Edit : Thanks for explaing this to Matthew.

FallowEarth but im sorry, that couldn't be a cached test because it was tested with 12160kb, so in theory a cached test would have to be faster than that... Also if it was cached it would be MUCH faster than 8mbps, the slowest these days it would be around 20mbps...

Looks like matthew has cable but tested in a non-peak time...

BTW, welcome to the forums Matthew!  :wave:

level3.net DOES offer dialup packages, and im sure this man knows the diff between dialup and cable...

Its simply a cached test..
