5. Under your LAN connection - properties - general tab, uninstall all the protocols there that you do not need.  You most likely only need "Client for Microsoft Networks" and "Internet Protocol (TCP/IP)."  If you share files on your home network, you also need "File and Printer Sharing for Microsoft Networks."

Answer:done that...

6. Open Internet Explorer and select the Tools menu, go to Internet Options, Connections tab, click the
LAN settings button, make sure nothing there is checked.

using FF3.0

7. Never Connect to your modem via USB ! Always connect to your modem via ethernet (NIC) and make sure you have the latest drivers for your NIC. Set your NIC duplex mode to 10mb half duplex for Cable, for DSL it depends on the ISP service unless you are using a router, if so then set it to 100mb full duplex for both Cable & DSL. If you are using a router make sure you have the latest firmware.

Answer:done that... my NIC is now set to...????? cant find it in router  but firmware is the latest available

8. Power cycle your modem, unplug it for at least 3 minutes

Answer:done that...

9. Download, update, and do a scan with SpyBot and Ad Aware to remove any spyware

Answer:done that....

10. ZoneAlarm firewall has known problems with dropping speed, I suggest to uninstall it and compare speed

Answer:dont have

11. Install Outpost Firewall, Sygate Firewall, or Zone Alarm.

Answer:I have McAfee but i have it disabled
12. Scan for viruses with your antivirus app, if you do not have one get one, AVG, Avast!, and Ewido are great.

Answer:done that, my antivirus program is.. McAfee

13. Make sure you have ALL of the latest Windows Updates

14. Download and run CCleaner

i run in mult times a day.

15. Go to VanBuren testmy.net Cablenut settings and install Cablenut 4.08 and Vanburens cablenut settings version 9

installed cablenut

16. If you choose to build your own tweakfile with j79zlr's webpage, I suggest to leave SynAttackProtect to 0, and use a latency value between 150 and 300 ms. If your calculated TcpWindowSize is above 65535 and your webrowsing seem sluggish, i suggest to test with a TcpWindowSize and GlobalMaxTcpWindowsize that is 44 x ( your MSS value ) and change Tcp13230pts to 0.

Answer:I havent built my own file...

I would definitely have Comcast come out and test that modem of yours.. That is if you don't have something on your pc slowing you down. 

When you connected directly to the modem did you turn the modem off first? Turn the modem off ,wait 1 minute then turn the modem back on.
