I don't know what is going on, but my download speed has hopped up significantly today, maybe my "tweaks" and others are paying dividends.

My connection rocks this morning anyway:

Shhh! They'll hear you!!! Last time I "boasted" about getting speeds back, within 24 hours I was at-near dial-up speeds for three days!

Yeah, I definitely thought about that, lol!

Whoa!!!! You used the U of M speed test??? They set that up to test the U of Michigan/Ameritech ADSl program I believe. You should see what running that test from within the U of M system yields! I did it at about 6:30 in the morning once, before classes started... think I got closer to 9Mb/s!

Just tried it on a whim, it seemed a lot faster than the others. I don't use web sites for speed testing much anyway, much better to ftp files from fast servers and check that way.

All I can say, is this is by far, the most consistent high speed I have seen, not bursting but sustained. I think I'm done tweaking for a while.

Thank the bandwidth Gods above! :-0)

UofM_TWH,

I'm in A2 also, only I'm on Media One. I had Ameritech DSL about 8 months ago, except I had trouble with it, the d'load speed got horrible, as slow as ISDN and below. Media One is pretty steady speed here when they keep they network upgraded, I average 700-800kbs...

Kelly, I'm on Media One as well. I get about the same average. Was on campus real early a while back and just stumbled on that speed test. I don't know why they disabled the upload part of the test though.
