Optimize Your Broadband Connection

For info:

So you just got that high speed connection you have been dreaming about for so long.......:-)

Want to find out if your OS is set up to get the best performance out of it..........

Try... http://www.speedguide.net/Cable_modems/index.shtml

There is a TCP/IP Analyser, tweaking tools, and a ton of information to get your Cable/DSL connection running at top speed.

Enjoy....:-)

This is just my opinion but i base it on using both sites and i have found that DSL reports is a much better broadband tweaking site. The people in the forums are extremly helpfull with allmost any question about anything ....not just tweaking your connection. The folks in the tweaking forum will walk you through step for step if you have any problems.

I went to PC pitstop, however, once I tried running the DSL speed test, a pop up window came up and then I was staring at my dark screen listening to my POST . I dont think I'm going back to see if it was a glitch.
