"TCP Optimizer is hell of a drug" -rick james

Tweaks work

TCP Optimizer is the Lamb of God. My ISP advertises 6Mbs. Well, I ran TCP Optimizer and lo and behold:

Peter Löthberg, the Yoda of networking technology, has just demonstrated the world's fastest internet connection. He hooked his mom up with a 40Gbps connection in her home! Lothberg's revolutionary innovation has rendered current broadband technology obsolete.

Compound TCP

At the command line:
Enable CTCP: netsh interface tcp set global congestionprovider=ctcp

Disable CTCP: netsh interface tcp set global congestionprovider=none

Show settings: netsh interface tcp show global

Just kidding. I don't need no steeenking tweak.

The never ending quest to achieve maximum broadband speed in Windows Vista continues. The latest suggestion is to use the netsh line command to enable Compound TCP and Explicit Congestion Notification (ECN). Any thoughts on that or other speed tweaks?

I hope you get speeds like this.

Read up on Compound TCP. Without the quotes type "netsh interface tcp set global congestionprovider=ctcp" at the command line. It is a simple and efficient Vista IP tweak;the only one you need. Vista's auto-tuning feature pretty much maximizes your network speed out of the box.

IMHO, the Vista TCP/IP stack is way more sophisticated than the Optimizer Tweak. The only tweak to Vista IP settings should be to enable Compound TCP with the "netsh interface tcp set global congestionprovider=ctcp" command. Omit the quotes.

Maybe there is a firewalled router connected to the cable modem. Disable the firewall at the router and run tracert again. That's my story and I'm sticking to it.

Leave your 3rd world country. Move to the United States.

Besides the SpeedGuide test; my favorite connection speed tests are:

http://www.speedtest.net ... GUI pretty as Paris Hilton.
http://nitro.ucsc.edu ...........thorough and detailed results.
IPerf.................................best tool to accurately measure internal lan speed.

any more cool ...

Is there any real need to monkey with tweaking programs? IMHO, if you simply set MTU at 1500 and RWIN at 128480...your computer is fully armed, loaded and ready to handle anything Internet related.
