HELP? connection speeds are too low

hello

i do not know much about this stuff and i ll try to provide as much info as possible. if you need anything else i ll post it.

I have comcast high speed internet and my speeds are much lower than advertised i din't even get half the bandwidth I'm supposed to.

it is advertised that i will be getting (8mbps download and 768kbps upload). i was unable to run the speed test on this site maybe its because of a firewall I'm using or something else. however i tested on another website ( http://www.speakeasy.net/speedtest/ ) and i get abut 2884kbps down and 428 kbps up. also tested on a bunch of other websites and got similar results.

SpeedGuide.net TCP/IP Analyzer

TCP properties for IP = XX.XX.XXX.XX ()

Browser/OS = Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.8) Gecko/20051111 Firefox/1.5

Notes: Read the Analyzer FAQ if the above is not your IP address.

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) = 65535

RWIN Scaling (RFC1323) = 0 bits

Unscaled Receive Window = 65535

Note: TCP 1323 Options need to be enabled for RWIN over 2^16 (65535). Windows 9x might also need the MS Vtcp386 fix.

For optimum performance, consider changing RWIN to a multiple of MSS.

Other values for RWIN that might work well with your current MTU/MSS:

513920 (MSS x 44 * scale factor of 8)

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: 2621.4 kbps (327.675 KBytes/s) @ 200ms

Your RcvWindow limits you to: 1048.56 kbps (131.07 KBytes/s) @ 500ms

MTU Discovery (RFC1191) = ON

Time to live left = 108 hops

TTL value is ok.

Timestamps (RFC1323) = OFF

Selective Acknowledgements (RFC2018) = ON

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

here is the other test the one made by php:

The current date is: Sat 01/28/2006

The current time is: 12:44:37.96

I downloaded a TCPOtimizer program and all i was able to do is click the optimal settings button but that made my ping worse so i reverted to the original settings.

Again i dont know what I'm doing and any help is greatly appreciated.

It isnt your fault.. the lag is in the Comcast network in PA.. They are aware of the problem.. Just keep track to make sure that they eventually go down.. You might want to call and see if they can get you some free internet time.. I believe that the max ping on the network is 100ms.. so you might be in luck there..

I don't know what you mean by that. Is that the same thing as in a game room PING?? because since i got into PC gaming i realized that my ping is really high.

Also i downloaded this program: TuneUp Utilities 2006 5.0.2331 and it seemed to help a little http://www.download.com/TuneUp-Utilities-2006/3000-2086_4-10440422.html?tag=lst-0-1

Now i test at about 3265kbps down and 493 up.

Also i just upgraded my comcast internet from 6mb to 8mb and and it didn't add anything speedwise.

all of the numbers should be under 55ms or so..
