Slow internet speeds

[DEADLY]

Hey All,

I been having problems with my internet being slow for a while, and i was hoping to get some more speed out of it since i play online games alot i need as much as i can get . I'm lagging alot ingame so it's either me or the servers (UK Servers too)

RWIN Scaling (RFC1323) = 1 bits (scale factor of 2)

Unscaled TCP Receive Window = 64240

RWIN is a multiple of MSS

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

estimate = 1.53 based on packet size = 11Kbits, RTT = 278.62msec, and loss = 6.86342E-4

The theoretical network limit is 1.53 Mbps

The NDT server has a 8192.0 KByte buffer which limits the throughput to 229.70 Mbps

Your PC/Workstation has a 125.0 KByte buffer which limits the throughput to 3.51 Mbps

The network based flow control limits the throughput to 3.55 Mbps

Client Data reports link is 'T1', Client Acks report link is 'T1'

Server Data reports link is '10 Gig', Server Acks report link is 'Ethernet'

I wouldn't tweak the comp setting if I am you.

You are the 4th person from the UK asking about slowdown in speed to the US, or even within the UK. One of your core gateway router is down and is the reason for traffic congestions. See this link:

http://www.internettrafficreport.com/europe.htm

[DEADLY]

hmm hows this all work then? can you explain abit please

[trogers]

Your subscribed speed is 2 Mbps. Your present RWIN (Tcp Buffer) is set at 125 KBytes giving your PC a throughput limit of 3.5 Mbps. Your network throughput is also at 3.5 Mbps. There is a balance.

If there is no core router problem, you would be near to your optimum speed. So, the problem lies with the network and not your comp setting.

ahh yea i did some optimizing of my own after a fair bit of reading, i wondered if you could get it any better , least i know why my internets slow....how long they usually take to fix these?
