I have FTTH (fiber to home) and I need some help regarding the setting of my network.

I have 200MBIT download and I can't seem to reach it, max I had was around 15MB/s

TCP analyzer: I used tcp optimizer with the optimal settings + disabled nagle for gaming (I play WoW)

It depends how fast the server can upload to you !

It isn't the case here, I did the test by starting various simultaneous downloads from different servers (100mbit servers, downloading linux distros that are shared around different servers)

max I had was around 15MB/s

100mbit servers

What speed do you expect they are sending to you?

Perhaps a misunderstanding between kilobytes and kilobits?

My FTTH Home Connection: 200 Mbps (~25 MB/s)
Download Servers Connection: 100 Mbps (~12.5 MB/s)
Maximum Speed (In my test): 120 Mbps (15 MB/s)

My test was starting 5/6 simultaneous downloads from 5/6 different servers.

Sorry for my wrong units/values in the 1st/2nd post.

BTW: How about my TCP Analyzer Results, and suggestions to tweak?

Are you connecting a single computer to a 200 Mbps line?

Is there a home grade router between the modem and your computer?

first try mtu in your network card= 2000 or 5000 or 9000, but first be sure that you have activate in your properties of your net card "jumpo frames". u have to be in a giga lan between pc and modem to achieve those speeds. secondly be sure that your are not limited by your isp. fiber is not ready yet in most countries and the are limitations

I got a router/computer with a giga port and I only have one computer connected to my router.

Going to try the MTU / Jumbo Frames next.

About the ISP, they offer 300 Mbps too so I don't think they are limiting me.

Check the specifications of your router. What is its maximum throughput?

What speed can you get if you connect your comp directly to the modem, without any router?

I can't connect my computer directly because there isn't a modem.

I got FTTH and this is how the connection is made:

Fiber comes to my house and connects to an ONT (Optical Network Terminal) this isn't a modem. "An ONT (optical network terminal) is used to terminate the fiber optic line, demultiplex the signal into its component parts (voice telephone, television, and Internet)"

I connect my ONT to a special router which splits the signal into TV, Phone, Internet. So basically I can't remove the router because this is the hardware that allows me to connect my computer.

My router is a THOMSON TG799:


I don't see anywhere the maximum throughput of the router, but the router got both 1 Gigabit Ethernet LAN/WAN port...

That's a pretty new device to most of us in this forum.

If it says 1 Gigabit for WAN, then, throughput would be 1 Gigabit/second.

Note: Jumbo frames are only applicable to LAN, and not WAN. The internet still limits MTU to 1500.
