Now on Rapid Systems fiber, the routing with this ISP vs. verizons GNI Routes, huge drop in latencies.

Been messing with tweaking for the past 2 days, dont think I will get a downstream any higher than this, not sure why I cant hit cap like I used to with verizon.

I will try the 819200 recieve window tonight and post the results, I cant seem to get past 13000 now with the current tweak settings.

Tried using my old Linksys BEFSR41 cable/dsl router, which didnt seem to want work well even after firmware upgrade, I then switched back to the D-LINK 604 router that was provided by Verizon, and am now getting these results : :::..

I just used DRTCP, and set MTU to blank and set it to the current NIC Adaptor. I also used 251120 as the TCP Recieve Window, this was the recommended TCP window from using the tweak test on www.dslreports.com. This is the current download test results : :::..

Alright thanks bud, let me go try that

I just switched to a different fiber ISP here in tampa, Rapid Systems. That supplied me with a static IP instead of the PPPoE setting Verizon had in their package. Does anyone know or have had experience with tweaking static IP connections, Im not sure if its the same as tweaking with the Verizons FIOS, as I am still new to using tweaking tools.

Thanks Direwolf, 4-5th hop tracing wdc.speakeasy.net, 66ms same what I get for around 90% of the sites I try to connect to, I already spoke with Rapid Systems tech rep earlier today, I am switching off Verizons end in 5 days, I will post results from switching to Rapid systems. I also asked to obtain trace route results from their end through email of several sites that I hope to get back soon.

If anyone on Rapid Systems fiber, can post a few trace routes of websites such as,

I used your cable nut tweak settings Halo Box, and it gave me an extra 400-500k on the up, running tests through testmy.net . Appreciate it man :::..

Ive been using Road Runner, 3mb , recently 5mb line for 6 years before I moved on to Verizon Fiber, Cable was my only choice for broadband, wasnt able to get DSL.

Sorry forgot to add a bit more information, I'm in Tampa, FL 15/2 Connection been running with this new connection for a good 2 months now. Here are the upload stats after I did a bit more tweaking. :::..

Hello, I just registered on testmy.net Thought I'd post my results and see if other Verizon Fiber customers are getting similar results.
