In response to the May 2003 PC World article that mentions SpeedGuide.net, a PC World reader Thomas T. McGranahan Sr. writes:
"On April 1 (an auspicious date), I activated my cable modem. My installer noted that I had half, or less, of the expected bandwidth. I spent the next several days e-mailing my PC vendor and trying various fixes and downloads, to no avail. Then PC World [May] arrived. In "Cheap Tweaks," an item suggested analyzing the TCP/IP setting through SpeedGuide.net, and if needed, downloading and optimizing the setting with the site's optimizer. I followed the advice and achieved a bandwidth of over 500 kbps. Thanks to PC World I went from severe aggravation to elation in about 15 minutes."
