I tried connecting the computer directly to the internet(so I can find the true speed), but it couldn't get a default gateway. Maybe there's a setting in my modem for "bridged ethernet"? I am using an ARRIS cable modem.

Looks like you are on the 7/512 connection.  If so, you're very close to cap.  Try downloading the 50MB file from http://test.tampabay.rr.com

I didn't know that 400 less than advertised was very close to cap. (<<not sarcastic remark) Can I get any better speeds by tweaking? I'm consistently getting around 6.5Mbps.

Oh and what do I do with the 50Mb file?

thanks for the quick responses guys

It ended up around 870-880 kB/sec. The speed was still dropping, but only by ones though.

So we'll say 875 kB/sec.

875 * 8.192
=7168 Kbps

You're right on.

You have to keep in mind the the testmy.net server you're testing from is hosted in Dallas, TX, where the files from test.tampabay.rr.com are hosted, like, down the road from you.  This means that you will have a better/shorter route, which necessitates that you will have higher download speeds.

This is why we have test mirrors.  Hey, wanna host one?
