My isp is Bell Sympatico

Profile is 4000/800

do I need new settings? RWIN? etc..

Wow, I am so upset at all of this crap I can dropkick someone. Well here is where I'm at right now, I have called Tech support 4 times, and they still have not sent anyone out to verify what the technician did. In fact, they told me that if they schedule someone to go out and do that that it would ...

Okay the other day my phone line went down and I called the phone line company to come and fix it - and they did, they sent a technician today. Apparently the lines to my house were brittle and broke at the router box for my area. Therefore they had to install new wires for my line. Now here is the ...

Yes I have pratically disabled all of Windows Security Centre becuase I have all of its protection from 3rd party software..

However, my download speeds have decreased considerably

What new values should I use for my RWIN etc..?

My caps are 3000/800 Bell Sympatico HSE.

Thanks in advance..

Ever since I installed Windows Xp SP2 my webpages take forever to load up.

Whats the deal? I haven't changed any settings on cablenut or anything else after the installation.

This blows.

Anyone have any suggestions?

Neptune-Sya

Been here a couple of times. :(

I have Bell Sympatico HSE. My speeds are constant 2485/660 on a speakeasy speed test. My Caps are 3000/800 so I'm only getting 80% of my total bandwith. :irate: :mad: :cry:

Is it possible to squeeze out anymore??

Thanks MadDoctor

Can someone be so kind enough to post the link to one of Mnosteele's old posts regarding how to obtain your optimum RWIN. I've tried searching for it, but I can't seem to find it

And just out of curiosity, does this formula really work in helping your connection?

Neptune-Sya

Thanks mccoffee,

i just did a speed test and my results were 2486/656

my caps are 3000/800. Is there any way to get a better result fo my upload?

I think I'm only running at 82% of my connection.

nevertheless, thanks for the reply

Neptune-Sya

Should I use TCP optimizer or Cablenut? since i already have Cablenut installed and used that previously?

Neptune-Sya

Hi mccoffee,

my speeds are approximately 300/kbps - and sometimes lower. Depends really, it fluctuates alot

Is there a better RWIN value you can have me try?

Neptune-Sya

Hello??? Anyone??

Neptune-Sya

Hi,

I just got upgraded to a new connection. I am a Bell Sympatico member who was on the old platform using a 1meg Nortel Modem with the 960/120 caps, and I am now using a Speedstream 5200 modem with the newly advertised 3000/800 cap. I am running Windows Xp Professional with a PPPoE connection ...

Now my question is this. I currently have a Nortel Networks modem. Supposedely it ...

Neptune-Sya

I managed to calculate my RWIN maually as described in msnosteels tips.

(Cap 960 x 124ms)/8 = 14880

14880 /1440 (MSS) = 10.3333333333 or 10

14880 *10 = 148800 is Optimal RWIN.

My question is where exactly do I place this value under Cablenut? I've placed in the Default Receive Window, however ...

How does he do that?

Neptune-Sya

well that sucks, I'm using a Nortel Modem. pos.

Why won't I see an increase like most?

OKay, I have a friend of mine who knows absolutley nothing when it comes to computers and networking, so I'm posting his problem for him.

He seems to be getting alot of warp while gaming.

He is using a router, and he suspects that it is the culprit because he previously had just regular cable ...

Is it true that Sympatico HSE is increasing their advertised upload speeds from 120 to 320???

They claim the transition will occur bwteen June - July 31/03

It's already August and my upload speeds still remain @ 102 =/

Can someone please tell me what the best NIC setting for DSL is?

I remember reading something about how it may be ISP dependent, but it doesn't explain what to set it to.

Right now under the NIC config settings it's set to Automatic.

What should I set it to?

Neptune-Sya

1. Your ISP, their caps and type of connection.

Bell Sympatico HSE DSL (Caps: 960/120)

2. Your maximum anticipated latency.

311.666ms

3. RWIN that you found with the formula.

= 960*311.7= 37404
= 37404/1460= 25.619
= 26*1460= 37960

Perfect RWIN =37960

4. Did your speed improve?

Neptune-Sya

Thanks for the reply, but it doesn't have an IRQ listed under 386enc

Neptune-Sya

Hmm, interesting theory. It may be a possibilty.

One thing is for sure, I was never one of those people to ever have 1000. I guess we cant complain though, it's better than dialup/

Are you talking about the Ontario Speed Test Wolfgang?

Like here: http://fastweb.sympatico.ca/test/ontario/en.html

Or is it another site - if so, could you please pot the website

On the Ontario Speed test I still only average about 802 kbps

Neptune-Sya

Not sure exactly. Is there any way of finding out? Or do I have to call my ISP?

Neptune-Sya

I've done all this already.

But thnx for the response.

Neptune-Sya

Okay, here is the deal.

Im running Windows XP pro. I'm using a DSL PPPOE connection to connect to the internet. Bell Sympatico is my ISP. Their caps are 960/120 i believe.

Everytime I do a speed test, i reach about 797kpbs. For my upload, it averages at about 103.

I'm just curious to know how ...

No, I haven't installed any new hardware lately. My motherboard is an ASUS Cusi-Fx that uses an SiS chipset. I've checked their website and they seem to have updates for the mobo from 2002. That's about it. They do have BIOS update though.

Should I maybe flash my mobo. Honestly, I don't feel like ...

Hi.

I'm running Windows XP professional with a DSL PPPOE connection.

My caps are 960/120

ON average, when I conduct a speed test, my results are usually 790kbps or 96-98k/s (dslreports.com servers)

I was wondering if anyone had any suggestions to get my speeds to go abit faster.

any help ...

Neptune-Sya

:( mnosteele, every tweak i've done for my connection has never allowed me to see results 790kbps, whether it be on dslreports or on a speakeasy site.

I don't understand why everone else on average reaches the adverstised speeds of Sympatico's caps 960/120, and im always 200k shy of that. =[

Okay, those suggested values did increase my download speed slightly, showever, i went to microsoft to test the speed of my download, and it went from 108k/s and continued to decrease all the way down to 60k/s untill the download fiinshed.
