hmmmmm not quite as fast as yours but I did run that test using firefox, I have enabled all the tweaks for broadband..... havent played with avant yet....msie never again.

 

That's what I used to say as well.

As I previously stated though, I've had no spyware/adware/malware or virus problems as of yet using Avant. I attribute this to my usage of ZoneAlarm and Symantec AntiVirus (both free).

Firefox is a great browser, but I had(ve) a few issues with it:

Not working properly with a few sites
Slower than Avant

Hey People..

Sorry for disappearing for so long..

Here's a MEGA link for online speed testing:

http://home.cfl.rr.com/eaa/Bandwidth.htm

For Comcast Customers:

As I was told by comcast last week - my connection is 3Mbps down and 256 up, they also told me that for $10 more a month I can get a speed upgrad (which I did) and now I'm 4Mbps down and 384 up...

BUT!!!!!

The good news is that by the end of march they will be upgrading their entire system so that everyone gets 4Mbps down and 384 up..... UNLESS you have that $10 upgrade, if so....

you and I will then be at 6Mbps Down and 768 Up!!!!!!

AANNDD...

WEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!
