I recently moved. Not far but I had to disconnect and reconnect my DSL (Verizon, both times). I'm closer to the CO now so I was able to increase to 3mbps download. I'm not getting anywhere near that.
My speeds fluctuate greatly. Sometimes around 200k and sometims 2000k!
I've eliminated causes such as bad cables, phone jacks, hardware (router, modem), etc.
I'd like to see if there's any way my OS (10.3.9) could be to blame. I'm looking for ways to tweak it to make sure it's not bottlenecking my speed. Or even tweak my browers (Safari 99% of the time) for better performance.
I'd install fresh but I lost my 10.3 disk and I don't want to go back to 10.2. And I don't really want to spend the $$$ on 10.4.
Any suggestions?
FYI: I don't want download app type of tools... I need stuff to speed up regular all the time browsing, not just to help me resume big file downloads and stuff like that.
