hello

i've being using TCPOptimiser for almost 2 years now and at last i decided to become a member of this forum
I recently switch my broadband from PPPoE to PPPoA, so which setting is the most suitable for me? Do i have to tick the PPPoE option?
btw i've converted my aztech dsl600e modem to router mode n my internet speed is 512kbps down 256kbps up

Which country are you in?

Post your TCP Analyzer report.

PPPoA start with 1500....can run tests (ping speedguide.net -f -l xxxx) (where xxxx is your starting value) going lower and lower to see what you get for results...til it stops fragmenting..add 28 to it.

Is not TMNet same as StreamyX? If so, you are on a PPPoE connection and not PPPoA.

Try the following with TCP Optimizer:

General Settings tab:
Custom settings - check
Modify All Network Adapters - check
network adapter selection - your NIC
MTU 1480
TTL - 64
TCP Receive Window - 31680
MTU Discovery - Yes
Black Hole Detect - No
Selective Acks - Yes
Max Duplicate ACKs - 2
TCP 1323 Options:
Windows Scaling - uncheck
Timestamps - uncheck

Advanced Settings tab:
Max Connections per Server - 8
Max Connections per 1.0 Server - 10
LocalPriority - 1
Host Priority - 1
DNSPriority - 1
NetbtPriority - 1
Lan Browsing speedup - optimized
QoS: NonBestEffortLimit - 0
ToS: DisableUserTOSSetting - 0
ToS: DefaultTOSValue - 136
MaxNegativeCacheTtl - 0
NetFailureCacheTime - 0
NegativeSOACache Time - 0
LAN Request Buffer Size - 32768
Then select "Apply Changes" and reboot to take effect

After reboot, test your speed at this link using the test servers in Malaysia:

Tested speeds look good compared with your paid speeds of 512/256 kbps. Your comp is already tweaked to optimum.

PPPoE is the DSL system used by StreamyX. Using a router at your end will not change your ISP's system. Just like importing a car from the US will not change the side of the road other cars will be driven in Malaysia.
