Issues with 10 meg service (only getting 2.3 meg with proof)

I have now bypassed my router and set my mac up with the opendns info.

Its made a massive difference.

I found Firefox to be the fastest browser going. If you use this, try the following, it really does speed it up even faster:

1. Type "about:config" into the address bar and hit return. Scroll
down and look for the following entries:

network.http.pipelining
network.http.proxy.pipelining
network.http.pipelining.maxrequests

Normally the browser will make one request to a web page at a time.
When you enable pipelining it will make several at once, which really
speeds up page loading.

2. Alter the entries as follows:

Set "network.http.pipelining" to "true"
Just Double Click it

Set "network.http.proxy.pipelining" to "true"
Just Double Click it

Set "network.http.pipelining.maxrequests" to some number like 30. This
means it will make 30 requests at once.

3. Lastly right-click anywhere and select New-> Integer.
Name it "nglayout.initialpaint.delay" and set its value to "0".
This value is the amount of time the browser waits before it acts on information it receives.

If you're using a broadband connection you'll load pages 2-30 times faster now.
