Is there any good tweaks that you can do with cable modem to get it to perform better and more consistantly?

If you signup for DSLReports, they have a broadband test and several tools to help you optimize your broadband connection. Depending on how you're currently configured, it can make no difference, a small difference, or even a significant difference. I suspect the consistent part will depend on your ISP, not on any tweaks you can do.

Yes, they've renamed it to Broadband Reports, but the URL is still the same.
