Welcome to the forum bosanacc  wave
Doesn't AOL use an accelator. If so those speeds are not real speeds.

I retested a couple of times.  How can they not be real, maybe there's a way to access the PowerBoost of Comcast and AOL does that?

bosanacc, doesn't AOL have an accelator in it? That would be the reason for the difference, if so.

Welcome to the forum bosanacc

those speeds are cached, the reason why is AOL does local caching there is no way to get around it. unless you dont use the aol software.

I have the 8/768 package and this is what I get with Internet Explorer.

I can't complain with the speed, but it won't bother me if I find a way to get more out of it.  Any ideas?

AgentGod:  I was getting that exact same speed.  I used TCP Optimizer, and increased the connection to about 20 Megs and now I'm getting these speeds.  Maybe that can help you out.


I retested, keeps getting better and better.
