Whats your system specs. There are many reg tweaks out there to help windows utilize the broadband connection better. Try some from here www.speedguide.net The tweaks I ran sped up my cable connection quite a bit. There are many there just look for those that would help your OS. Hope that helps, DB

I had same problem with cable and WIN98 when I first got cable access. Went to www.pcpitstop.com and ran test and installed recommended patch and speed easily doubled.

It was a download from pcpitstop and it increased my receive bufffer to about 64,000. Probably made a registry change.

RWIN - that's what I thought. I use DrTCP rather than jacking with the Registry myself, which is what it does.

Glad it worked for you Blankman. I tout pcpitstop every chance I get. I think WIN9X, possibly ME are the only MS's software affected. XP ran fast from the load.
