"2607kbps download - 683 upload" was the results seen here. Does it matter which link you use?

That's VERY highly improbably. You're saying you're about to buy a T1 or T3 connection, which cost upwards of $7,500 per month??

I think you're mistaking the router for the internet connection. The router is what you wireless connect to...the thing that plugs into your DSL or Cable Modem. My cable connection right now is about 7150kbps...about 0.87 MB/s, or about 7mbps...my router connection can handle 54mbps. There's 47mbps of nothing...."spare" space. You're thinking that if you go out and buy a fancy new Draft-N router for several hundred dollars, your internet connection will magically speed up. The router can only transmit at the speed of your internet.

go to www.speakeasy.net/speedtest and tell me the results for your download test.

ah i c, thanks for clearing that up, but any way back to the topic i originally posted for, does anyone know how to expand pci ports?

It does make a bit of a difference, you should use the link to the city closest to you.

Without space available on the board itself and the technical knowhow you are limited to finding an adapter that will allow additional hardware to added onto the pci bus via one single pci slot on the board. People are trying to grab expansion cards for additional usb ports when either there are none to connect on the front or top of a case or simply lack enough on the board.

I figured that would have some bearing on this in order to see the fastest speed results since less servers are involved when closer. That means less time there improving overall performance. The one thing to note on that however is you may see various results with repeated tests at different times during day or night due to traffic on your ISP's own servers. Even with dsl it sometimes feels like molasses at different periods of late afternoon and early morning hours.
