I have had the 50mb service and Super Hub for just over a week. I don't get anywhere near 50mbs downloads at any time, nearer 20-25 at maximum. However, disabling my Zone Alarm free firewall drastically increases speeds up to almost 50mbs, so the question is, do I put up with this, use another firewall(if so which), or can I rely on the Super Hub Firewall and the various malware detectors that I already use?
