Uhmmmmm! Well first I don't have a need to do those things and second it don't matter what kit you've got.... you are still only as fast as your local exchange and nothing will tweak mine to over 56Mbs until they upgrade it ~ 'prolly in several years times.

It doesn't really matter to me ~ I only type with three fingers anyway.

As for the three finger typing, it's still ahead of my two finger 'hunt and peck' technique.

The little message that shows when I hover over the wireless icon at the bottom of the screen says 54Mpbs today.
