I recently upgraded to Optimum Boost (50Mbps/8Mbps), I've been maxxing at just under 12 Mbps down speed. The tech just left and his laptop was getting 46 down. Hook my PC back up and it's back to 12Mbps. My laptop hooked direct to modem only gets 8Mbps down.
Neither of my computers are that old (5 yrs approx) and both running WinXP, Zonealarm, Avast antivirus and using Firefox. I've messed about a little with the network, not fully understanding what I am doing. Any ideas what could be throttling my speed without seeing what changes I've made to settings?
Thanks in advance to the wonderful geeks here. Will try to find a Optimum online forum to ask in as well.
