So what happens when all Proxy Servers are disabled?
Well
When I surf the web specifying NO PROXIES in browser connection settings, I get the following, never faster than 7MB.
Without Proxy

1st 512K took 657 ms = 779.3 KB/sec, approx 6421 Kbps, 6.27 Mbps
2nd 512K took 625 ms = 819.2 KB/sec, approx 6750 Kbps, 6.59 Mbps
3rd 512K took 625 ms = 819.2 KB/sec, approx 6750 Kbps, 6.59 Mbps
4th 512K took 640 ms = 800 KB/sec, approx 6592 Kbps, 6.44 Mbps
Overall Average Speed = approx 6628 Kbps, 6.47 Mbps
But when I use most Luton Proxies which is the network seg im using, and especially Luton 12 Proxy I get full speed or close to it.

I would like to know whats gonna happen when the proxy servers are disabled or removed completely?
Especially with 20MB upgrades coming soon, am I gonna get ****e speeds whenever i use HTTP?
Im not too fussed as I use Usenet and Newsgroups most of time.
But if i want to download the odd Linux Iso or MS Service Pack, I would like more than 6MB.
Why is the speed restricted at 6MEG without a proxy and has been like this for years, this certainly isnt Traffic Shaping, as other protocols are fine and other proxies are, is there a way around this?
Thanks
