You may try www.dslreports.com it has speed test for cable and dsl and also
in the tools area they have a aplication called DR.TCP, it allows you do
adjust your recieve window to reduce dropped packets. It will also suggest
ways to increase your speed. I have had lots of luck with this on a dsl
service I had and increased the speed by about 30%, however my problem may
not have been as bad as yours.
