I have the neccesary info to edit your registry to 'dramatically' speed up ADSL... i did it my in march, made a BIG difference, however, i did a reformat yesterday and installed Window ME and that optimizes your pc setting for ADSL when you install it... quite impressive..

if anyone wants the text file let me know and i'll send it.

Toadster - Thanks for posting that m8, I'll have a good look through it later, but it looks like just what I was looking for :)

The Elaysian - Is the text file one of those in the above site? If not, I'd like a look at that :)

[Help?]

does ne1 know of a ISDN tweeking site or just some info.

ICQ my if nessasery

ta guys :E

[Spidery]

Yes, I would also like to know about an ISDN specific Tweak Guide. Unfortunately, no one seems to provide them. It's for either for Low Bandwidth 56k and lower, or High Bandwidth Cable/DSL/T1. What about 'Mid bandwidth' (i made that up) ISDN? :)

So are you saying that if we use this reg-hack thing, we could make the USB ADSL even faster than 500k/s? cool...

[Calzor Suzay]

No Snow patrol you can't break the physical limit imposed by your isp, it's just like tweaking your dial up connection you've just got more bandwidth to play with, for example Internet Explorer by default opens two connections to the website your accessing, you can tweak to more and make use of the extra bandwidth etc...

The following info may be of help to people who haven't yet optimised
their ADSL setup....I was stumped as to why my transfers were so naff
till I started tweaking. It now rips.......

ADSL Registry improvement tweaks. You can make up your own REG files
or edit directly WITH CARE!!... BACKUP YOUR REGISTRY!!!
