got QoS enabled ?

AFAIK this uses/saves 20% of bandwidth

Hope this helps

I've seen references to QOS before.

I've followed the procedures on the Zen site to disable QOS but I'm still
missing that extra 12%.
According to my network settings, I have a tick in the checkbox for Internet
Protocol/(TCP/IP), no tick in the checkbopx for File and Prrinter Sharing or
Client for Microsoft Network.
QOS isn't listed.

When you connect it probably says it's connected at 800kbps (for some
reason). About 80% of this would be 512kbps which is what you should expect
from your 512kbps line. At least that's the case for my system. Aint got a
clue why winXP reports the connection as 800kbps though...

Makes sense, my router also reports an unvarying link speed of 2272/288,
which is a similar % of 2048/256. It did this before I even got my PPP logon
working, so my xp pc couldn't have been sending QoS packets by then.

Wasn't on the ball at 2am last night! That figure above should have read 65%
of 800kbps, which would put it on par with the 512kpbs speed. But basically
that's what it is and your connection's running at full speed.

That is the ADSL rate, and ATM cells have an overhead, as well as PPP,
hence they quote 2M, 1M, 500K rates for your actual IP traffic, not
2272, etc.
