Rate your Broadband provider

Szegény alulkonnektált. Majd szólunk a magyar illetékeseknek. 

Grrr…
I pay for a 15/3 Mb connection (15 down / 3 up)
I had alot of problems the first few months, but it has been very stable lately, until 2 days ago.
Now I am getting this:

755 / 1250 (Kbps)
(92.2 / 152.6 KB/sec)
Compared to the average of 1295 tests from cox.net:
* download is 86% worse, upload is 65% better
I don’t even want to bother calling them because they will just tell me to clear my cache, or that I have some PC issue and keep me on the phone for hours wasting my time.
My provider is Cox.net, and I’ve suggested they should change their motto to: Cox. We’re a bunch of dicks.
How well does your provider support you and how often is it required?

Increase Internet Bandwidth

Broadband connection are fast. But did you know that you can still increase the speed (bandwidth) of your broadband connection (e.g. Smartbro wireless broadband). You can still speed up your bandwidth by 20% more without cost. Just follow this simple step but be extra carefull because it involves editing your registry.
Because Windows XP seems want to reserve 20% of the bandwidth for its self. Even with QoS disabled, even when this item is disabled. So why not use it to your advantage.

Hogyan?:

Microsoft opens Network Monitor 3 beta 2 to public

bink-től értesültem erről.
Kíváncsi vagyok, hová fejlődött az Intel által készített igen jó eszköz. A mai napig nem tudom megérteni, hogy a teljes verzió miért csak az SMS-ből volt elérhető.

Az eredeti cikk még egyéb érdekes dolgokat is ír: 

We'll see if it will be able to compete with Wireshark (formerly Ethereal) and its new enhanced features.
Enroll for the beta here.

természetesen a connect.microsoft.com-ról tölthető le.

Én nem találom, lehet hogy még nem került fel, ha igen, hol a retekben van?
