Ah, these scores are great for me!!

Your download speed : 538470 bps, or 538 kbps.
Browsers would show : about a 65.7 k/sec transfer rate.
Your upload speed : 204603 bps, or 204 kbps.

What we are actually paying for: 640/240. Pretty good if you ask me. I like having fast upload speed as I upload files for my website and stuff.. :D

This is my connection at work. Stupid network is only set to 10baseT half duplex. Once we are 100base full, this should kick major A$$

I havent "re-tweaked" my registry since reloading Win2K but I do know that it makes those scores ALOT higher tham normal yet I'm not so sure that it's really speeding up the connection or just somehow fooling those tests.

At work now the 56K modem tests "about modem speed" :) ....VERY Freakin' SLOOOOOOOOWWWWWWW :( This thing's painfull to use online.

The best I've gotten from my faster main PC was only "41Xs 56K modem speed". There's one Win2K/XP patch that applies to cable at the Speedguide site but I'm not sure it's doing anything as it's not opening anything relevant when clicked after DLing (it opened ACD Intouch install program on my PC :( ) and nothing's changed afterwords (and rebooting). I do also have a sys tray O BS running ( including a router firewall, plus zonealarm, etc, etc) so maybe that's slowing my test speed down? I'll try shutting all that down and re-testing later.

Try a patch called "Cablenut408". It has Win2K and 9X patches and allows you to manually
adjust settings.

Nowadays those speed hacks really don't seem to do much for you. I don't use them anymore.

There's absolutely no way you can increase your bandwidth - that's controlled on their end. All you can do is tweak the efficiency of your network connection to optimize it for either browsing, downloading or gaming.

The registry hacks at SpeedGuide are really optimized more for gaming, and generally your browning and downloads will suffer a bit.

I use the default registry settings now - seems to be the best tradeoff all around.


Oh, BTW Evil, if a program executed when your clicked on the registry hack, it means you have .REG files associated with that program. You need to fix that. It should be associated with REGEDIT. Use this command line:

regedit.exe "%1"
