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

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.

Timestamps (RFC1323) = OFF

Selective Acknowledgements (RFC2018) = ON

IP type of service field (RFC1349) = 00000000 (0)

Thanks for all your help Van

btw, i just tried TCP/IP optimiser, set it at cable modem optimal settings

when i start any downloads, the speeds sometimes are like 20 kbps but then they come down to the usual 3.5-5.5 kbps

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

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

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
