It is normal for some deviation, as well as the 768 lines never give you the full advertised speed, and the farther you are from the main trunk, the less speed you get.
What we are trying to overcome is slowdowns that dropped below dial up speed, that made it difficult or impossible to navigate.
Here are some examples of speed tests, before changing the DNS numbers.
94.4 kbps
357.6 kbps
2.4 kbps
42.1 kbps
29.3 kbps
33.8 kbps
19.7 kbps
8.4 kbp
18.8 kbps
13.1 kbps
Since changing the DNS numbers, I get readings from 300 to 700, but mostly in the 600's.>

Ok, here's the results..
I agree with you about cnet, it never changes.
Anyway, I did 6 tests, alternating between cnet and pecunia(if you do one test after another on pecunia, the results get skewed. More on that in a sec)
So, before I rebooted, I got: (C = cnet, P = pecunia)
C304.7, P 599.1, C304.7, P 352.6, C304.7, P326.1
After the reboot, I got:
C304.7, P554.3, C304.7, P343.9, C304.7, P299.6
So you can see, no gain by rebooting.
And to test what I've been told about sequencial tests on pecunia, I did 4 in a row, refreshing the page, and got:
299.6, 702.1, 885.0, 970.3, 791.5
I sincerely doubt those last numbers, but it sure confirms that you can't sequence one test after another..

I do them sequentially, by hitting the "refaire le test" option.
The results you are getting seem normal for a 768 line, specially if you are not as close to the main trunk as we are.
We are 200 yards away.
That being said, are you still experiencing difficulty getting into certain websites?
If so, do you know how to ping them for return times?

I sure do. When I ping yahoo for example, I get 129 milsecond responses, with google, less than 100. Doesn't make much sense does it?
with dr1, min 118, max 131....
but yet, I click on gmail or google, and wait, and wait, and wait, and wait..

So it sounds like the main problem of slowdons is resolved, and you have a separate problem with Google and Gmail.
Are those the only 2 sites causing you problems?

That I notice for the moment, yes.
I'll let you know more after a couple more hours of surfing today and tomorrow.
I did notice that now that I've set up my google personal page, the access to gmail from there seems to be substancially faster too.
Interesting..
