New DSL user

Hi guys

I've recenly moved from 3G to DSL (std 384kbps directly from Telkom).

How do I ensure I get peak performance from my connection? I did a self-install as per Telkom instructions. Any settings to change/tweak for better speeds?

The best results from the bandwidth tester on gam.co.za was around 307kbps. Is this normal?

You should be able to get around 320 kbps (well roughly, my downloads usually max out at around or just under 40 kilobytes per second) how to tweak it I don't know

Perhaps try the test file on the TelkomSA site, and see where the speed is after say the first 10-20 seconds for a second opinion, link for the file is here. Whatever you do - do not finish the download, it is a useless file But it serves a purpose...
