? What! I used to have 1200/100 or something around that. I had some technician do something because it was not working, and now my speeds suck really bad.

Ok, take an analyzer test in my sig. Then post the results XX'ing out your I.P address.

Also something I've seen a number of "techs" do is check the box "automatically detect settings" under your LAN settings, it will slow you WAY down. Open IE and select tools - internet options - connections - LAN settings and make sure NOTHING there is checked.

Don't forget to reboot to take effect.

Nope! Nothing was checked off

TCP properties for IP = XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX(XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX.cpe.net.cable.rogers.com)
Browser/OS = Mozilla/4.0 (compatible; MSIE 6.0; Windows NT 5.1)
Note: Read the FAQ if the above is not your IP address.

TCP options string = 020405b40103030201010402

MTU = 1500
MTU is fully optimized for broadband.

MSS = 1460
Maximum useful data in each packet = 1460, which equals 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 = 50 hops
TTL value is ok.

Timestamps (RFC1323) = OFF

Selective Acknowledgements (RFC2018) = ON

IP type of service field (RFC1349)= 01011100
Precedence (priority) = 010 (immediate)
Delay = 1 (low delay)
Throughput = 1 (high throughput)
Reliability = 1 (high reliability)
Cost = 0 (normal cost)

Make sure the biggest resourse hog that will slow you down is off, system restore=OFF

Try lowering your TcpWindowSize to 64240. Also try all the trouble shooting tips in my Help & Tips link.

Ive lowered my tcp window:

Test running..........
** Speed 926(down)/184(up) kbps **
(At least 18 times faster than a 56k modem)
Finish.

<3 mno thanks

[NICK]

But why such a drastic imporvment? What other should I try?

[mnosteele52]

You could even try lowering it more.... just to see if it helps. Try 32120, 37960 or 52560. The reason it's better is that if it's too large for your connection you will have retransmitted packets which slow your connection down.

[Mohan-san]

Also try 27670.

Seems like broadband .. above the 1mbit barrier!
