I used to get so depressed when you guys posted those;)
Now it's not exactly stellar performance, I realize. Lightyears beyond where I was a few short days ago, just the same.

Results have been quite consistent over 3 of the 4 past days. Didn't do any testing yesterday due to the hijinks being perpetrated on the net.
Between 266 - 272 on upstream measurement and rock-solid on 54 upstream.

I do wonder about that upstream, I've gone a little higher during real-world use but it still seems about 1/2 of what it should be:?:

I've applied the Premature Packet Retransmit Patch;

But have seen no improvement in testing.
Still need some real life application of the connection to get an accurate reading of course -- which will begin shortly.

Any suggestions?

I don't recall, it may be around here somewhere.........I just kind of neglected to remember for some reason. :rolleyes2

It appeared to me the patch was doing nothing to benefit my upstream.
Further usage of the connection revealed I was having sporadic losses in connectivity - the doggone thing just hesitated terribly and required several refreshes at times.

Now MicroSoft has no removal instruction for the patch, but being an offering from M$ and past experience I have had with those____I decided to apply the patch 1 more time.

Viola!!!!!!
Upstream is where it should be for the first time.
I am currently monitoring for pauses in the connection, but ATM have seen no ill effects.

Keep your fingers crossed:geek:
