You can't do anything about your upload. Open your device manager and select your NIC then right click and select properties go to the advanced tab and look for a setting called "duplex mode" or "media type or sense" and set it to 10mb half duplex or 10 baseT (whichever you have), also while you are there look under the resources tab and see what Irq is assigned to your NIC. Now go to start - run and type sysedit close the boxes until you are at the one that says C:\SYSTEM.INI in the title bar, scroll down to the [386enh] section and under the last entry type IrqXXbuffer=4096 (XX is the Irq assigned to your NIC, if it is a single digit number put a 0 in front of it i.e. 09) if it was Irq 9 it would read Irq09buffer=4096 then select save and reboot to tkae effect.

You know I'm just stating this for the record. My last speed test result shows on a 768/128 DSL .. I get 648/136. I don't know what is wrong I wouldn't mind suffering a little bit of upload for some more download.
get it up, get it in, get it out, and don't mess up my hair!

Lobo .. your killin' me with your 1-9 .
I tried to call ISP.. the number you are trying to reach has been changed to.. blah blah blah blah.
Like everyone has a pen and paper next to them. I want to press 9
oh well.
I have problems with PPPoE until January 31, 2003. Solution=Charter.

Lobo... you are entirely correct.. but the You'll part.. I had cable until they switched from @home to charter.. when @home left they took 3 networks with them I think.. leaving only 5 total for the state when charter took over. meaning all the cable modems were getting capped on that end for 2 weeks there I couldn't get but twice the speed of a 56k modem... I signed up for DSL shortly there after because the price seemed right.. but when I got it up and running with the greatest of ease.. I couldn't find anyway to fix my little problem with "MaxFrameSize".. all my questions have been answered by BobCarrick .. as it stands there is no fix for Enternet 300 software to get MTU optimized for broadband.. yeah only because its PPPoE with Windows 2000.. well it happened with Windows XP. And it Happened with Linux too. So its Enternet 300 Software and Speed Stream modem to blame. I've tried the tweaks here on Speedguide and the only ones that don't work are the XDSL Tweaks.. not bad.. all the rest work.
I've had my run around with the ISP now Its a waiting process for me.
300 days away and I'll be back to cable.
