Well, well, well, if it isn't the picture-happy Lobo. Once again he is over-excited about yet another totally unexplained, unduplicated by anyone, totally radical discovery. This time it was a weird reformat/reinstall of Windows that did it. Well this has all kinds of broadband conspiracy theories ...

G|-|oST

OK since you are here in Vancouver, how about this? This is on Novus btw. May be time to switch ISPs?

Well here we go... This sounds familiar again... Ah yes we've been over this already

Yes what is the purpose of posting these pictures? It seems that every once in a while Lobo feels the need for attention and he starts posting these stupid pictures of speed tests. Just to start another pointless discussion. The differences in speeds are always minor from one time to another (as ...

Yes this is for real... and the best thing is its only $29.95 Canadian (around $20 US) per month. Compared to this all the US service providers are a rip off, if you look at costs and their speed caps. Like what the hell is a 1500/128??? Thats not even worth to call broadband. And I've heard of ...

G|-|oST

Yes I' ve been using Novus for a long time now. The speeds are insane. Here is an example. Kicks the crap out of both local cable (shaw) and DSL (telus) plus its a bit cheaper. Go for it.

G|-|oST

No it is not a shared connection for the building. Each data jack in an appartment has its own IP and is an individual connection to the ISP. The service is only available in downtown Vancouver. It costs $29.95 per month (canadian dollars) so anly around $20 US or so. Yeah its a hell of a deal. The ...

You know Lobo I am beginning to see why some people out here don't think much of you and your advice. A lot of the stuff you write just does not make any sense. You say that you posted a picture of your speed test to 'slow' (show?) to the new people that you know 'alittle'. So how exactly does that ...

G|-|oST

this is not OOL, but a residential fiber-optic connection in Vancouver + cablenut extreme settings from the add-on.

but its funny how you always post your 3000 something test results with titles like Woot and the like but you see my results that are around double your speed and immediately you ...

G|-|oST

Yeah well..... you may be NASCAR....

but this is F1

G|-|oST

No no nothing extreme like OC anything here... just a residential fiber optic connection in Vancouver, Canada, plus extreme settings from the CAblenut add-on. The best part is the price $29.95 Canadian per month (only about $20 USD).

Here is another one.

3rd time a charm or whatever the saying is.... Finally! More stable, more speed.

I re-tried all the settings again and this final one gives me 764KB/sec vs default 653 on the same local tucows mirror. The speed is very stable, and its actually faster. I knew it could be done.

Thanks a lot ...

G|-|oST

Mnosteele

Thanks again - the new settings are much better than before, however the speed still drops but this time only by about 100KB/sec on a 22 meg download from a local Tucows mirror.

What I noticed is that with the default settings the speeds hit much higher 'peaks' and the resulting average ...

G|-|oST

Thanks for the fast reply...

BUT

I tried that and saw a dramatic decrease in speeds. And I don't mean the BS online speed test sites. I use a fast server http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/release.asp?ReleaseID=12253&LangID=20&LangDIR=en-us&OpSysID=9800&Search=Product&Value=10025&Show=Alpha&Top ...

I am on a fiber-optic connection. The service provider is Novus. http://www.novus-tele.net The claimed speeds are up to 10mBps. I am running Windows XP Pro (freshly re-installed, all reg settings default). The speed is great as it is, however I am sure that there must be more optimal settings that I ...

G|-|oST

Just tried that. No help. Message says that windows can not access specified folder, make sure you have access.

Thanks anyways.

Anyone else have any ideas?

For some unknown reason I can not connect to some FTP sites. I tried using different FTP programs (Cute, Bulletproof, etc), but still the same thing happens.

I am running Easy Cd Creator 5 Platinum under Win XP Pro. I followed the update instructions on roxio.com but when I try to run the 5.02 update it says that there are no qualified roxio products detected. Therefore the program does not recognize my CDR drive (a newer 24X). Any ideas? Anyone?

What RWIN values shoudl I try? The only reason I ask is the TCP analizer suggests using RWIN that is multiple of MSS but I have no idea what to do with that info. My current RWIN is a result of trial and error, I know its high but I am getting good results with it. I am wondering if there are some ...

Allrighty then... I stand corrected. My point was not to accuse anyone of ripping off another site, I was just pointing out that there are some other settings that some people might want to try out. That's all. I used them myself with good results.

Thanks Lobo it worked! Now just one more thing please.

I have experimented with diff RWIN settings and these are the results:

17520 (before fixing the problem) - stable d/l at around 600KBps (not Kbps)

final setting 642400 (10 times 64240) - d/l peaking at 3.6MBps and dropping to average 1.5MBps ...

I just installed Win XP. Everything is great, BUT I can not turn on the TCP1323 and therefore my RWIN is limited to 17520. I tried doing it manually, and using Cablenut adjuster, but still no luck.

Well I tried using the Cablenut Adjuster but no matter which settings I used in it, the actual speed went down. I had to uninstall it get the speed back. I am thinking of simply changing the RWIN but I have no idea on the value to use. The rated speed is upto 10Mbps, I usually get just over 7Mbps on ...

I am in Canada, and today the installer came and activated a data jack which looks like a regular network cable connection. The claimed bandwidth is 5Mbps. I am payuing $29.95 per month (around $20 USD).
