Recommended Tests

My internet used to stay around 2.7mbit but now am lucky to get 1.7 (paying for 3)
I must say that it has nearly doubled with all the things ive done from earlier posts, started with 500-700mbit
Ive ran the CCleaner, used the utility that changes max connections from 10 to 50, and used the cablenut prog with the config recommended in the previous post.  Ive talked with charter people and they are saying its my computer. 

Heres some various info I've seen you guys ask for, please let me know if anything else would be helpful
