I must also mention the cable guy said I had a fairly weak signal, and some noise in the lines out here where I am. I am using Mediacom. Before I discovered the tools to tweak connections, this was my speed: :::..

I came out with this: :::..

I played around, and used VanBuren's settings for all of my fields except for RWIN. I used TCP For the two RWIN values. I finally topped out at: :::..

Not bad there.
