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

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.

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

Hi, I am from India Can you help me make my internet faster ? Here are the details... - Just formatted my hard disc and installed xp pro and updated to sp2 -got the p2p fix u suggested in the sticky post -i have a 40 kbps connection. i get my internet through a cable wire that goes in my LAN card (Digi-5700 TX) -my download speeds fluctuate between 2.5 kbps to 5 kbps (they remain same throughout the day, even at late night) Here is my download test result.. :::..

i am running Win XP PRO SP1. Sorry i cant get SP2 (tried all i cud to get it) .I would download it if i had a better download speed . My pc is virus, adware, spyware, malware free. One more question. I have Zone Alarm Pro. Should i get sygate personal firewall instead ? will it affect my download speeds ?

Is any more info required from my end ? Cant my broadband be tweaked to improve speeds ?

it is a connection through ethernet LAN. Cyber Tweak isnt causing the fluctuations, the download speed fluctuates even without it. In fact with cyber tweak the download speed has increased.

i live in india, and fast connections are really costly here. i previously had a 40 kbps connection, which gave me download speeds of 3 - 3.5 kbps. i tried a tweaking software called Cyber tweak, and i consistently got 8 kbps downlaod speed . Now i have bought a 40 kbps connection again, from a different

i did a tweak test with my current settings. this might help u http://ttester.broadbandreports.com/tweak/block:15debd0?service=cable&speed=40&os=winXP&via=normal

Van i need urgent help dude something screwed up. before i tried this site i used to get 8 kbps dl speeds. remember the tweaks u gave me ? using that my dl speeds went down to 3 kbps. now i did some stuff and got back my 8 kbps speeds, but now something is screwed up. i am getting 3 kbps only. I tried lots of stuff. even tried the tweak i used earlier , even went back to normal default windows settings , but still i am getting 3. pls pls pls At least help me get my orginal 8 kbps

hmmmmmm But cant it get any faster ?

Hey , sorry van i had to go out for a few days. something weird happened. i went back to my old settings and i was getting 8 Kbps again. i did the test with this and here are the results for it http://www.dslreports.com/quality/nil/1658935 then i went back to the settings u gave and instead of 3 Kbps which i was getting , i am getting 8 Kbps with this one too here is the test with the settings u gave me http://www.dslreports.com/quality/nil/1658963 Now what should i do ? can u improve my speeds ? some info that can help u : i use win xp, and my ip changes every time i connect

here is what u asked for http://www.dslreports.com/quality/nil/1655268
