just multiply or divide by 8. pretty easy.

Your Speed is: 4927.5 Kbps

off that speed site that was mentioned. :) :)

My speed is still 4.3mbps, but so far the problem with Comcast increasing it's latency in the middle of the day has stopped. So that's a pretty good thing.

First of all - what in HELL is this thread doing in the General Hardware forum ?

I suspect it's the cable modem. I never had these issues with my previous cable modem, just this Motorola.

I tried several recommended tweaks from several of the broadband sites and all of them cut my speed even more dramatically.

I'm through playing with the Registry. Every tweak just makes it worse.
It is what it is, I'm done.

:frown: :sad: :confused: :frustrated:
ooops - maybe it's not for 2K/XP then ...hmmm

DrTCP is a Registry tweaking tool (but GUI ;) ) for all those various settings you see - so it's much faster (except for the reboots for settings to take affect)

Use/Try these settings for 98;

I too have a Motorola modem (Surfboard) - and here's a recent Test D/l and I'm getting 719KB/sec ;)

...erm - unless you're on some kind of college/university welfare program.... that's 8mbps son - the CAPITAL B = MegaBYTE -
Lowercase b = Megabit (8 bits to 1 BYTE).....though usually both [MB] is used for megabyte -- and [mbps] is used for megabit

note - not too shabby at all though, 8mbps translates to 1000KB/sec download - compared to my 5mbps or ~612KB/sec down

My speed is 5674.5 Kbps, and the good news is I pay roughly $45.00 CAD to get it.

Ive had Comcast's 6mb/768kb line for around 2 years and have been pleased. I wish they raised the upload to a full 1.5mb, but the download speeds are great, on fast servers i can expect 600KB+ per second.

SWEET JEBUS!!! Now that is insanely fast! I've dreamed a holy and righteous dream! How do I get that? Can I get that? What sort of hardware do I need to support it?...
