Another ISP (my cable TV provider) keeps mailing me an offer of 100 Mbps for a slightly lower price.
I'm tempted. But then I wondered: Maybe ~11 Mbps is about the best I can hope for with a SAM460ex?
The culprit is Roadshow.
You can tweak the settings there but will only gain very few KB/s.
The TCP/IP stack needs to be rewritten to add the possibility to work with Gigabit speeds and need to finally drop the long lasting analogue/ISDN stuff that is slowing it down aswell.
Or so i was told (not meaning that i repeated everything correct)
Fact is, i have a 100 MBit line, a Gigabit speed PCI card and only get 8-9 MBit to my X1000
On the *same* line a Linux notebook leeches the whole 100 Mbit off of the line, so it's clearly not the cable, but the TCP/IP stack.
