XP gave me 5.5 Mbps on the speedtest. Linux (Slackware 10.2) gave me 9.8 Mbps...
After I went to
http://www.dslreports.com/tweaks to check my settings, I used DrTCP to change the RWIN & MTU (1500 for ntl) under XP - the speed tests match.
I use Linux anyway as it's performance friendly on my laptop - and KDE besta XP hands dwon.
CHANGE YOUR SETTINGS!
