OK. So, I had trouble getting on the internet yesterday morning. Contacted my ISP tech support, and they had me reset my cable modem which necessitated resetting my router. Before yesterday: Today: WTH! Over. I tried a longer hop to Salt Lake City, and it came in around 14k+. Before yesterday I'd get around 10+k going to Salt Lake. But I tried Frederick, MD again and got 23+k I wish I understood computers and how they work . It will be interesting to see if this is SOP, or merely an overoptimistic speed bump on the road to the WWW. Richard & Wayne. Either of you guys able to get me a ridiculous discount on a modest Dell laptop (or a modest discount on a ridiculous Dell laptop )?

The cable company probably upped your bandwidth, but you need to reset the cable modem for it to take effect. Since you did, the speed is now faster.

I've heard that lubricating your network cables with Vasoline helps them last longer, perform better, and allows data to "slide" along more quickly.
That's how I got my huge speed increase that I posted a while back.

No. You need to use a water-based look. They're slipperier.

Wow, I didn't know it was a word. I would have just used "more slippery." If we didn't group-excommunicate and execute the grammar bot, it would be very proud of you.

Silicone based is even slipperier.
