Here is the result of the Speakeasy/DSL Reports tst: 719 download speed. Time Warner claims 768 kbs download speed for RR Lite.

I am thinking that some of the sites I like to stream from (NBC, ABC, CBS, Comedy Central) may have increased their minimum requirements. It would be helpful if they posted their requirements somewhere on their site, so I could make a decision on an ISP.

If changing MTU values or other internal setting won't help, I just might be forced to increase my computer's performance by simply paying for a higher level of service. It just bothers me that everything was fine until a couple of months ago. I haven't changed anything on my computer. In fact, I have very few programs running at all. It is a very clean system defragged regularly, with 46% of my C drive available.

If you have any thoughts about changing my computer's advanced settings I would appreciate the guidance.

If not, thanks for your input. You been very helpful.
