Hi I'm from the Philippines. I have a PLDT MyDSL Plan 1299 with 1 Mbps of speed according to them.
It was only installed last week and i availed it from their Great Payday Sale. (free installation & modem. 990 monthly for the first 3 months)
while testing it on speedtest.net I usually get 1 to 1.05 Mbps Download speed but when i actually download a file I only get 100 to 180kbs max.
I already applied optimal settings on TCP Optimizer. Here is my SG TCP/IP Analyzer results:

any suggestions to increase my down speed?

Tweaking your settings wont really help.

You have a 1Mbps down connection. 1Mbps = 1,000,000 bits of data every second. So you will download at 125KB/s = 125,000 bytes of data per second.

So if you get 180KB/s then you are better than the connection promised.

Downloading files through a browser I suggest FireFox with the addon called DownThemAll. It will help keep a constant download speed.

Good luck.
