Any tips to help my setup?

ScouseMouse

I have just moved from Irishbroadband to Vodaphone at home broadband.

Its just connected up this morning on the 7 mb service. This is what a speedtest came back with.

Last Result:
Download Speed: 4303 kbps (537.9 KB/sec transfer rate)
Upload Speed: 410 kbps (51.3 KB/sec transfer rate)

I know I will never get 7 MB download, its not possible, but am looking for tips about how to get the best out of what I have.

Anyone got any recommendations about tweaks/settings/tips about how to make it as efficient as possible

Laptop running Vista and occasionally desktop running XP.

No problem, which router are you using for your Broadband?

Put it this way, try to download a file off a fast server and see what you get in terms of KB/sec and multiply by 8 for the mb/sec

I have a 10Mb connection but speedtest is currently giving me 5.4Mb, however if I download a file I hit over 1MB/sec which is close to my max. I've stopped trusting speedtest as I never find it that reliable on either ping or download speed

It is the standard Vodafone wireless router supplied (although, I have an unused SWEEX upstairs).

Its branded "BEWAN", model ARV4510PW-A VFI

If that means anything to you.

Will try that when I get home and will post the results later.

Thanks in advance.
