It's my feeling that once you are in the 4Mbps range, you are probably near the maximum for your node regardless of how much more you tweak locally.
All nodes are not created equal and OOL has a myriad of different settings they can apply to a node. I guess they try to perform a balancing act between speed and stability on each individual node.
Node crowding doesn't appear to be a problem except for maybe a couple of nodes.
It seems that, for most people, the terajet is the only modem that can hit 8Mbps. Most other modems seem to top out at around 6Mbps with a few reports of high speeds.
Remember, OOL doesn't guarantee you certain speeds and support probably won't help you until you drop below the 3Mbps range.
