I've have verizon dsl, and I have for a few years.
I use Washington DC's verizon servers, however im about 10 miles south of that.
Anyways, its not a spyware problem, trust me. I have linux and windows, and both get the same speed, so it must be a modem or mabey phone tweak needed to get me up to speed.
I read the STOP! sticky and a similar thread. What could I use to get my download speed over 70-80 kb/s and upload over 10 kb/s?
Windows or linux tools work, however I don't think its only an os tweak I need.
My computer>(ethernet cable, not usb )>router>fujitsu modem>verizon
same speed without using router
Verizon advertises 768 kb/s in my area, which my cox neighbors get.

Notes: Read the Analyzer FAQ if the above is not your IP address.
TCP options string = 020405b40402080a001bd7100000000001030302
MTU = 1500
MTU is fully optimized for broadband.
MSS = 1460
Maximum useful data in each packet = 1448, which is less than MSS because of Timestamps, or other TCP/IP options used.
Default TCP Receive Window (RWIN) = 5840
RWIN Scaling (RFC1323) = 2 bits (scale factor of 4)
Unscaled TCP Receive Window = 1460
RWIN seems to be set to a very small number. If you're on a broadband connection, consider using a larger value.
RWIN is a multiple of MSS
Other RWIN values 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 TCP Window limits you to: 233.6 kbps (29.2 KBytes/s) @ 200ms
Your TCP Window limits you to: 93.44 kbps (11.68 KBytes/s) @ 500ms
Consider increasing your RWIN value to optimize TCP/IP for broadband.
MTU Discovery (RFC1191) = ON
Time to live left = 59 hops
TTL value is ok.
Timestamps (RFC1323) = ON
Note: Timestamps add 12 bytes to the TCP header of each packet, reducing the space available for useful data.
Selective Acknowledgements (RFC2018) = ON
IP type of service field (RFC1349) = 00000000 (0)

I unplug my router and modem frequently since about 1ce a month one of those two stop working, so I just unplug for mabey 30 mins if TV distracts me, then plug back in.
...no spyware...
...linux doesn't get visuses.... windows had nod32 and is clean.......
...primarily use linux so windows updates are irrelevant... (suse linux 10.1 btw)
Would cablenut help when Im on linux? Sure I can boot into windows, run it and w/e, but would it still have effect while im on linux? Should I still run it, etc in windows? I don't know too much about this, but I don't THINK its really a registry problem if thats what it fixes, but if it fixes the modem is it good to use?
How can I dl over 80 kb/s?
