Title: Increase cable speed with 3rd party software
Post by: 1K3 on July 23, 2007, 02:13:34 AM

Anyone here use 3rd party software to increase download speeds for cable?  My internet cable provider is COX, maximum download speed as advertised = 6 mbps download and ~500+ kbps upload.

I'd like to know how running yet ANOTHER resource-chugging application (which by itself indirectly affects network speed by sucking down RAM and processor availability leaving the PC with fewer resources, however little the drop, to process what's coming through) overcomes the natural latency between PC, router, (if applicable) modem and network, not to mention delays caused by firewalls and antivirus software, and infrastructure.

1K3, if you're getting full advertised speed that "internet accelerator" has nothing to do with it, you're just on one HELL of a clean connection.
