ahhmm
Vista has gpedit.msc,,, a lil FYI.
you are running home premium thats why u cant pull it up.... it still maybe there if u go through admin tools...i.e, if its there..... Geez its a shame they call home premium a VISTA...its not even half as good.
On Vista i used to get better speeds than what i get on XP....
VISTA has options such as TCP optimiser which may increase/decrease speeds.... it has
windows defender running in BG another resource eater..... kaspersky may be running active scan on utorrent or anyother download client......
NO ONE BOTHERED TO ASK "WHERE DO U SEE THESE SPEEDS?", "ARE YOU USING UTORRENT OR JUST DOWNLOADING FROM BROWSER?"
JUST GIVE HIM SOMETHING TO FIDDLE WITH eh!!! WE GAVE YOU THE ANSWER NOW ITS UPTO U....lol
@APPLEBOY..... answer the questions mentioned above...plz
IF USING Utorrent have u patched for half open connections?
There is lots that can be wrong.....its no solution that this speed is decent or that speed is good....it sounds like those ISP CC resolution.
Vista is by default optimized for Internet...there aint any reserved bandwidth in Vista.Operating system should not decrease your speed..what i can mnake out of this that On XP there was a error in shown speed and now you are getting realistic speeds on Vista.
By the way 210 KBps seems to be more realistic value for a 2 mbps connection than 250 KBps.
