1) Download "TCP Optimizer"
2) Go to www.speedtest.net and run a speed test.
3) Open TCP Optimizer, select "optimal settings" in the bottom right corner
4) Apply/restart
5) Go back to www.speedtest.net , compare results, dance

NOTE: Results may very, but typically a 300% DL gain.

Test subjects (all with Cox cable, high speed internet):

-Vista laptop, wireless. Negative affect.

-XP laptop, wireless. Download went from [6088kb/s DL / 555kb/s UL] to [19278kb/s DL / 558kb/s UL]

-XP Desktop, direct-connect. Download went from [12581kb/s DL / 560kb/s UL] to [23356kb/s DL / 558kb/s UL]


Enjoy. Please post your before and after results.

I've used a few of these optimizers in the past.. the only time I saw a gain was in torrents, and it was a pretty decent gain in performance. Maybe not 300%, but closer to 150% for me, IMO.

ok AFTER:

FAIL

failage... i want cox.... i enviez.

well i defaulted it, its still kinda slow. i hope this didnt mess it up

[cjtaylor0103]

Thats odd to see those speeds coming from COX internet. I'm sitting in Norfolk, VA and my downstream on their standard package is 10-13 mb/s with an upstream of 2.0 mb/s. When I had my cable upgraded to the premium service I was pulling 18-20 mb/s down and 3.0 mb/s up. That test was performed using the Washington DC server through www.speakeasy.net/speedtest.

Ya, my 23,000kb DL was because of "power boost."

[Chewy_Solo]

i wonder if comcast has this POWER BOOST!!!! you speak of
