That's a big 10-4, Rocky.
I changed it an hour or so ago, and everything is the same to me.
I tried opening my gmail, google, yahoo, and a few others, and don't see an improvement.
And I've got the 768 kbps line. the google search page won't even open..

Funny, I haven't changed mine yet (don't want to buggerup the settings without someone at hand who knows about these things) but today and yesterday it's been slightly better. Google was a little slow in opening, but gmail has been behaving.
When gmail won't open, try entering the url https://mail.google.com manually (as opposed to clicking on the bookmark) and you'll see the difference.

Would you mind going back to those settings and check to see that they are still there?
Then, if they are, perhaps try a reboot.
Are you on wifi?
Could you go to this speed testing website, and do 5 or 6 tests in a row, and give us the copies of the results?
SpeedTest
ie: Votre bande passante actuelle : 621.5 kbps
Thanks, Marco.

Résultat du test : minimum requis : 500kbps
Votre bande passante actuelle : 286.5 kbps
(from a 768kb/s subscription)
;o)
(I run all DNS, 200's first, and 196's afterwards...)

Aw, cmon Chiri, live dangerously! Change those little buggers, if it doesn't help, change them back.
Rocky, I'm hardwired. I just checked, and the new config. is still there.
let me do two different speed tests, with cnet and pecunia
I'll be back in a few..

FYI: Cnet is baloney.
When I had the 256 line, it always measured 304.7.
Now I bumped it up to the faster speed, it still reads 304.7.
Pecunia is great and fast.

What about if you take out those "196" numbers, just in case?

Speedtest.net - The Global Broadband Speed Test
This one seems to be a better test...
I've got 635kb/s as a download speed (with only the 200's as DNS)
