You've tweaked your Firefox but have you ...

OMG!!

I went from 1.9 MB to 4.0 MB.

This really works. :)

In which test? To download a 1 MB file? That is totally inaccurate. That could have even been from the cache via your ISP's proxy or your local cache. Also the server load at the times you initiated the test. I seriously doubt that changing your settings would have doubled your speed.

Already tweaked.

Would be faster if I were not listen to 128kbps music, playing urban terror online (quake 3), downloading from irc at 103kbps atm and uploading at 20kbps. A third of my max upload btw.

That and its wireless and who knows what my brother is doing on his pc right now. Sure he is at least listen to music at 128kbps and playing urban terror. Sures hes in a few irc channel on enterthegame as well.

WTF?

I'm on 3mbit broadband, and all the speed test give me less than 1.5mbit.

Something must be screwed up with my setting. :(

You have to do a speed test that is close to you (geographically). If you go to DSL reports and look for a speed test that is close to you it will give you a much more accurate speed.

re-test without any tweaks and u will still get something different

:yes:

to test this i first went to bandwith palace and then to pcpitstop right afterwards.

i tested bandwith palacefirst and got 2.5

then for pc pit stop i got 2.1

then i cleared my cache and cookies and did it again

i got 1.4 for bandwith

2304 kilobits per second pcpitstop

and agian..........

982 kilobits per second bandwith palace

1992 kilobits per second for pcpitstop

after that i can't do anymore of bandwith cause it says limit of 3 test per month per IP adress.

SO, in conclusion, these tests prove jack sh*t. the fact is you won't notice any diffrence from any tweaks out on the net. you may see a tiny boost while playing games, but that's it. they are all mostly adware and spyware anyways

but if you want to believe the complete strangers.............go ahead. i'll just sit back and wait for natural selection to kick in :sleep:

Spyware OH YA?

rofl have you seen this program? some spyware we got here...

/end sarcasm.

585799964[/snapback]

i didn't say that the program posted here was spyware, i said most of them out there are

try reading posts more closeley in the future before you start flamin

Flaming really?

Please find the part where an insult is directed at you. Then you can call it flaming.

who else is the sarcasim pointed towards? the fact that you put /sarcasm there implies that in that situation i was an idiot for posting something so dumb

yes, i know that you didn't say that exactly, or even close to saying that, but you know as well as i that that's what the /sarcacsm was implying

otherwise, there was no point in posting it now was there?

    • That is the natural course for regulations. First to protect the consumer. Then to protect the business/industry from upstart competition. There are countless examples across history.
    • I have never been a huge fan of libre, it feels really good but exactly when you need an advance feature for data wrangling it falls short every time or has bugs. I am all for euro office if they can deliver a good and usable alternative to MS office with backing of govt function.
    • Go on, I'll bite. How does windows (nice comment on an 'article' which doesn't actually involve it ) lock users out of their data then? Been using it since 3.1 back in 92 and not once have I been locked out of my data? Perhaps you mean Bitlocker? In which case the average user (who doesn't mess about) will have been forced to use a MSA, and in which case the recovery key would have been saved to said account..... If the user did happen to bodge around and not use an MSA then Bitlocker wouldn't have become live (as it cannot without a safe place to store the key) I want to point out Bitlocker and MSA are not connected and you can of course force it on without a safe place to store the key, but you do that with your eyes open. So your standard consumer who knows no better sets up an MSA, gets bitlocker and a recovery key stored off box, with a route to reset their password. All of this notwithstanding the fact, if your data is important, you back it up, no ifs, no buts, no-ones responsibility other than your own. Important data lives in at least two locations, one of which is offline and recovery is tested, otherwise that data wasn't really that important. Disks, fail, laptops get lost, phones end up down the toilet, tablets get stolen, if your only copy of data is on a single device you're doing it wrong.
    • Clearly that feature isn't for us. It's for the ad spam marketers so they can more directly target us about going to places we might want to go again...but without understanding context clues. Like for the flight someone took for a friend's funeral. We want to be reminded of that every time we open an app, a browser, or email, right? Right, Siri?
    • Is your Apple Watch supported? Check the watchOS 27 compatibility list by Aditya Tiwari Apple kicked off WWDC 2026 with a ton of announcements, mostly centered around Apple Intelligence improvements, the Siri AI, and Liquid Glass updates. However, there is a lot of other stuff that couldn't catch the limelight. Let's talk about watchOS 27 and which models are supported by the newest operating system. According to the Cupertino giant, watchOS 27 will be supported on the following Apple Watch models when it arrives later this year: Apple Watch Ultra 3 Apple Watch Series 11 Apple Watch SE 3 Apple Watch Series 10 Apple Watch Ultra 2 It's a stark contrast with last year's watchOS 26 update, which had almost a dozen Apple Watch models in its list of supported devices. Apple supported models all the way back to Apple Watch Series 6. That said, if you own one of the five models, you'll need an iPhone 11 (or later) with iOS 27 to install the latest update. Yes, Apple has shown some extra love to the iPhone 11, and it old horse supports the iOS 27 update. watchOS 27 beta 1 is now available for developers and interested power users through the Apple Developer Program. So, if you're among those who like to play with fire, you can download it to your supported Apple Watch. Otherwise, the public beta for watchOS 27 will be available next month. The freshly baked Apple Watch update comes with Siri AI - an advanced, fully conversational version of Siri powered by Apple Intelligence due for later this year. A new dynamic app grid features icons for five Siri-suggested apps. You can use a new tap gesture to open a widget in the Smart Stack, and a new Find My app finally clears the mess of Find Devices, Find Items, and Find People on Apple Watch. Workout Buddy can run without an iPhone nearby and offers new insights based on data, including your progress for pace, distance, and workout duration. Apple improved its motion tracking algorithms to measure the distance of indoor treadmill runs and walks more precisely. Speaking of other changes, the music playback on watchOS 27 starts faster and you can create custom passes for any membership or card that uses a QR code or barcode, then easily access them in the Wallet app or pin in the Smart Stack.
