I got 531 kB/sec.. Which is fantastic according to the test [img]smile.gif[/img] Well.. If my computer would become fantastic as well, then I'd truly be a happy man. As if that's gonna happen!

"41.4 kilobits per second"

Which apparently, is poor.
Ah well, I've got no problem with it.

download DR TCP and do the tweaks it suggests - there are more accurate ways to determine your MTU as well and I can give you a more detailed explanation if you want... if you already know all this - ignore me - but it applies to all ADSL users.

Actually, Vask, if you could explain some of this stuff to me, it's not exactly userfriendly. I've downloaded DR TCPIP and also gone to that site you mentioned, here are the results of my tweak test. It looks like my MTU is 1480, and I've put my TCP receive at 64240. Have I done the right thing?

I've heard that TMnet is providing Streamyx service to it's customer. check the link. however currently they are testing it on some selected phone numbers. maybe your phone number is the lucky one? [img]smile.gif[/img]
