Sorry ... I checked and there's no way to turn on EDITS after Gloria's 60 minute restriction, just for a specific forum... :(Quote:

That is great UP performance though, as it's normally throttled low so people don't operate servers from their homes.

I have three computers on the router so I'll shut the others down and try again. Cost combined with and HDTV digital cable hookup is about $105 a month.
That's pretty darn good ... :super:Quote:

They may be upgrading from "copper" to "optical" on your cable, which is what they did in our old neighborhood when we used cable TV Internet access and the speed did get better.

*Can't sustain this consistently, much lower average from three other attemps is about 6300 download. Maybe they did upgrade the wire but it looks the same outside to me. We are allegedly on the "end" of their lines, at least that's the excuse they always give us and optical transition is supposed to be in the works. We'll be the last to get it. However, I'm not complaining, the service has been very good for years.
I know I can get better late at night when the networks aren't as clogged such as on a Saturday afternoon.

A little better with some tweaking:
N.O. - 7140/2840
ATL - 6990/2510
Tallahassee - 4830/2480 (some off-the-wall ISP providing the speedtest!)
I connect through Atlanta and I'm satisfied with the numbers, what with 3 pc's connected and a/v and firewall up and running and - and music streaming... ;)
(Middle tier internet service)
I am on dial up with the same dial up ISP that I started with about 8 or 9 yrs. ago,Kmart's "My Bluelight",it's up to $9 a mth. now,is a fast server anything like a fast woman?,if it is,I probably couldn't handle it anyway,I don't play videos,only a few times when some one posts one on the forum that I would be curious to watch. What's going to be the result of the new digital conversion thingy if it ever takes place?,will (cable) dial up get faster?I've had Comcast cable tv for yrs.,personally I think they want too much $'s for Internet service,have had Basic plus one step up tv for years,it's up to 5x's the cost it started out at and less programs,now what was the question?,yeah,am I getting the speed I'm paying for?,don't know,but a faster server would just allow me to make mistakes faster anyway.
