Poor Download speeds.....HELP!!!

[toddman7]

HELP !!!

I have Cox @home service I was running great until about 1 week ago. Since then my downloads have dropped to like 30kb ?
They start out about 180kb and drop to around 30k in less than 1 minute. About 1 month ago I went to DSL reports and used the tweak test (installed DRTCP). So it was really fast then....my speed tests were about 2500-3000 down and 250 up. The screen said it was over 50x faster than 56k...sadly now, i am at just 4-5x faster than 56k. I have installed som many tweaks in the past few days that i don't know if anything has helped. I installed SG, Cablenuts and DRTCP...all of the pathces I could find. I'm running WIN ME - PII-350MHZ with 384 MB of RAM. Have a Motorola SB3100 cable modem into a Linksys LNE100TX V4 NIC.

Somebody help....please!

Here are my results from the test....now what



SpeedGuide.net TCP/IP Analyzer
TCP properties for IP = 65.13.77.150 ()
Note: Read the FAQ if the above is not your IP address.
Browser/OS = Mozilla/4.0 (compatible; MSIE 6.0; Windows 98; Win 9x 4.90; MSOCD; AtHome020)

MTU = 1500
MTU is fully optimized for broadband.

MSS = 1460
Maximum useful data in each packet = 1460, which is equal to MSS.

Default Receive Window (RWIN) = 256960
RWIN Scaling (RFC1323) = 2 bits
Unscaled Receive Window = 64240
RWIN is a multiple of MSS
Other values for RWIN that might work well with your current MTU/MSS:
513920 (MSS x 44 * scale factor of 8)
128480 (MSS x 44 * scale factor of 2)
64240 (MSS x 44)

bandwidth * delay product:
Your RcvWindow limits you to: 10278.4 kbps (1284.8 KBytes/s) @ 200ms
Your RcvWindow limits you to: 4111.36 kbps (513.92 KBytes/s) @ 500ms

MTU Discovery (RFC1191) = ON

Time to live left = 51 hops
TTL value is ok.

Timestamps (RFC1323) = OFF

Selective Acknowledgements (RFC2018) = ON

IP type of service field (RFC1349)= 00000000
