Hello, im complety new to this forum, and I was wondering if Using around half of the average host speed is a bad thing? I am an Earthlink subscriber and from reading other posts it didnt seem like many people were satisfied, so I ran an upload test and these are my results.
:::.. Download Stats ..:::
Connection is:: 731 Kbps about 0.7 Mbps (tested with 386 kB)
Download Speed is:: 89 kB/s
Tested From:: https://testmy.net/ (server2)
Test Time:: Thu Jun 30 16:16:25 EDT 2005
Bottom Line:: 13X faster than 56K 1MB download in 11.51 sec
Diagnosis: May need help : running at only 57.47 % of your hosts average (covad.net)

I have tried tweaks before but they havent really help that much. I assum I am doing them wrong. I used DRTCP and I set My MTU to 1492 and the TCP recieve window to 37777. After that my speed test became worse. When I set the MTU to 1492 the tweak test at Dslreports.com says I have to set it to 1492. I tried to do it in the registry but I am having trouble understanding there instructions, I cant find the propper key 000n that has the limmiter for the Max Frame Size. I am using Windows XP SP1, and the advertised speed is 1.5mbps for download I believe. Any thought or help would be appreciated.
