lol can't help it. even this 256kbps connection is damn expensive

so no tweaking or anything can make it go any faster ?

Hi guys, I posted here a couple of years ago and got some helpful responses. I got a new internet connection, so I thought of posting here again. The PC is new. I just installed windows, haven't tweaked anything. Just wanted to see if I can increase my download speeds. Please note that I am from India, and broadband speeds are not real fast OS: Windows XP Pro - SP2 Fresh installed just a couple of hours ago ISP: 7star in Mumbai. Advertised speed is 256 kbps No tweaks installed DSL Reports Test: http://www.dslreports.com/tweakr/block:3b8d8e6?service=cable&speed=256&os=winXP&via=winXPpppoe testmy.net results: :::.. testmy.net test results ..::: Download Connection is:: 313 Kbps about 0.31 Mbps (tested with 386 kB) Download Speed is:: 38 kB/s Upload Connection is:: 294 Kbps about 0.3 Mbps (tested with 579 kB) Upload Speed is:: 36 kB/s Tested From:: https://testmy.net (Server 1) Test Time:: 2007/07/14 - 9:24pm D-Validation Link:: https://testmy.net/stats/id-UR8AJOB23 U-Validation Link:: https://testmy.net/stats/id-LMRFVA16S User Agent:: Mozilla/4.0 (compatible; MSIE 7.0; Windows NT 5.1; InfoPath.1) [!] Plz tell me if I am missing any info. I am getting 28-31 KBps download speeds. As I said before, just want to see if I can increase my download speeds through some tweaks

i deleted cablenut settings prior to trying the optimiser the 6 kbps result i got was on a medium test But still i cudnt get my dl speeds to 8 so far

here is the tcp/ip test after using the optimizer.... 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 (scale factor of 4) 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 128480 (MSS x 44 * scale factor of 2) 64240 (MSS x 44) bandwidth * delay product (Note this is not a speed test): 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 = 53 hops TTL value is ok.

Thanks for all your help Van btw, i just tried TCP/IP optimiser, set it at cable modem optimal settings here is the speed test :::..

hey i think u missed my above post i had posted wrong test results earlier my RWIN had indeed changed

hey guys i thing i did some mistake because

So what do i do now ? once again thanks for your quick replies

I did click save to registry when i opened the file you gave me, only 2 boxes got filled , GlobalMaxTcpWindowSize : 8760 TCPWindowSize: 8760 the default recieve window was still blank i dont think so i am behind a proxy..how to check that?

Thanks guys, I tried the file you gave me Van, but i think things got worse

Its not dial up. As i said, i live india , faster speeds are not affordable by the common man . Here is what you asked for TCP options string = 020405b401010402 MTU = 1500 MTU is fully optimized for broadband. MSS = 1460 Maximum useful data in each packet = 1460, which equals MSS. Default Receive Window (RWIN) = 1460 RWIN Scaling (RFC1323) = 0 bits Unscaled Receive Window = 1460 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 256960 (MSS x 44 * scale factor of 4) 128480 (MSS x 44 * scale factor of 2) 64240 (MSS x 44) bandwidth * delay product (Note this is not a speed test): Your RcvWindow limits you to: 58.4 kbps (7.3 KBytes/s) @ 200ms Your RcvWindow limits you to: 23.36 kbps (2.92 KBytes/s) @ 500ms Consider increasing your RWIN value to optimize TCP/IP for broadband. MTU Discovery (RFC1191) = ON Time to live left = 117 hops TTL value is ok. Timestamps (RFC1323) = OFF Selective Acknowledgements (RFC2018) = ON IP type of service field (RFC1349) = 00000000 (0) Just hoping you guys can increase my download speeds

Thanks Van, The download test that i posted before, would have been at my default settings itself as i had just clean installed xp (without trying any tweaks). I recently changed my ISP. Prevously i had the same advertised speeds of 40 kbps on a different ISP. i got 3 kbps dl speeds then too. But i had succesfully tweaked it to 8 kbps. The thing is i dont know what worked then ,as i had used loads of defferent tweaks and tweaking softwares. Pls just try and increase my download speeds
