Ubuntu Faster on My Internet Than Windows XP

| Then I tested my Time Warner cable connection on my primary work machine
| running Ubuntu 8.04. My cable modem connection is always much faster than my
| DSL by a factor of 10 on the download speeds. I forget what Time Warner's
| latest promises are for download speeds, but I think it's 10 mega bits per
| second to 12 mbps. Upload speeds are throttled down to 1mbps.
|
| My Ubuntu machine returned a rating from the Bandwidth.com test of 22-25mbps
| over several tests. That's darn fast today, faster than normal. Then I did
| the same test from a Windows XP PC and got results from 12-14mbps. Still
| fast, but not nearly as fast as the Ubuntu machine.
