Being more interested in upload capability then download (Although I like both to be fast) I think the technician I spoke to last may have tweaked me for uploading.

New test shows a degradation - this is starting to look like something less then a "Boost". I will follow up with you to take you up on that offer Blunted. as soon as its daylight that is.

John

I agree with dlewis23... there is a possibility those speeds are cached.... try cleaning temp files and retest.. dont hit the back key!

My advertised speed is is 30MB download and 2MB upload there is a very slight and I mean very slight increase of speed and I am paying $15 extra to my $44.95 plan 

I'll pm you now

Here you go the statistics

if you have cablenut try that file and see if it helps and if not we'll try another one

ok guys I did the cablenut thing and got these results with the dual test

These were the speeds I was getting

Blunted if you go to page one thats one of my first posts on the speed but I noticed that I have gotten those speeds before but only after midnight eastern time. And no I dont use a firewall at the moment.

Here I took some screenshots. Note: its 4:35AM now and I dont get these speeds during the day

I think the fast speeds are the results of using AOL. They proxy everything, or at least they did in the past, so the speed is of the AOL proxy servers not your connection. Try using IE directly instead of the AOL web browser.

JKO when you test using the aol software it will be cached. because AOL does local caching on there servers to make webbrowsing faster.

yes
