AOL -> 1MB Broadband... are these settings ok?

[LozSEO]

Hi all,

I'm looking for some feedback and some advice if any. I've read about 40 or so posts here so far, and tried most, if not all.

I've installed the patch from the german site, but haven't seen any increase of speeds here. I'm lucky to get past 20kbp/s.

I'm on a winXp system, using AOL, that uses PPPPOE.

These are the results I've got from the speed test.

dslreports.com speed test result on 2006-07-28 11:02:10 EST:

848 / 233

Your download speed : 848 kbps or 106 KB/sec.

That is 53% worse than an average user on aol.com

Your upload speed : 233 kbps or 29.1 KB/sec.

That is 25% worse than an average user on aol.com

What do I need to do to increase my speeds. I hear of some ppl that have like 5000/1000 or so, I guess they're using a 8MB connection or something?

Any way, any help most appreciated.

Thanks.

5000 means 5mbit. Select xx/256k on the Speed Guide.

Thanks for the reply... but what else can I do to get faster speeds on this thing, 20kB/s here ;(

Merged double post(s):

Never mind, now getting speeds of 75/80kB/s now...

Cheers.
