depending on the linear route to the centrix/ATM node in the area, your throughput can vary(not to mention the sheer amount of people in your area), all tweaks aside(assuming that you set your rwin and MTU and PPP chap etc.., get a freind to DHCP the host(or ghost[ a ghost is the first node before CV's network] ) at the same time(tip: ool's MTU is 1500) find out who is faster, find the node location for your zip, whos closer? usualy in most cases the person who is closest to the DS-3/ATM gets the lowest pings/latency and a slight data burst more effecient then tha later, but we must remember, its a shared line, non modular, speed fluctuates greatly from user to user. a tip for upstream requests is to install a cable amplifier on your cable line on the same RG-6 as your coax out( line thats connected to your modem), this will amp it from 2200Khz to 46000Khz, which doesnt affect the centrix node becouse its ranges are much greater, around 10,000Ghz or so, this wont do anything downstream becouse the throughput has already been declared, you can make something faster thats already comming slower, but you can boost what your sending to the node, i did this and floating points(no start---stop bits on parity) went double, i.e i got 100K/s instead of 50K/s, it worked great for me, but for others it didnt, seems once again like a trial and error thing, in theory it should work.
