By this I mean just with the router present & no PC - same rate
for when PC direct to cable.

But maybe it is normal. I am presently (while posting this) concurrently downloading approx 10 files of approx 100MB each & the aggregate download speed is over 450 K Bytes per sec. I knew cable could be fast but this sh**s on my former adsl for speed.

The astounding part is that had adsl been available it would have cost me approx 40% more per month but the best speeds I ever got with adsl were an aggregate of about 120 K Bytes per sec.

Was also greatly impressed with new 802.11a WiFi set up I have which could txfr a 500MB file in 3.5 mins - networking is getting damned fast.

Cheers
