i should be running close to 1500 kbps...

i know i live in australia but even so :-s what info do you need to help my settings ?

[trogers]

It's a long way to the US speedtest site. Is there any sites in down under to test?

[incognito]

ive had a look at some posted in these forums, still similar speed tho :-s

around 1200 kbps

MTU = 1460

MTU is not fully optimized for broadband. Consider increasing your MTU to 1500 for better throughput. If you are using a router, it could be limiting your MTU regardless of Registry settings.

MSS = 1420

Maximum useful data in each packet = 1420, which equals MSS.

Default TCP Receive Window (RWIN) = 63900

RWIN Scaling (RFC1323) = 0 bits

Unscaled TCP Receive Window = 63900

RWIN is a multiple of MSS

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

522560 (MSS x 46 * scale factor of

261280 (MSS x 46 * scale factor of 4)

130640 (MSS x 46 * scale factor of 2)

65320 (MSS x 46)

bandwidth * delay product (Note this is not a speed test):

Your TCP Window limits you to: 2556 kbps (319.5 KBytes/s) @ 200ms

Your TCP Window limits you to: 1022.4 kbps (127.8 KBytes/s) @ 500ms

MTU Discovery (RFC1191) = ON

Time to live left = 39 hops

TTL value is ok.

Timestamps (RFC1323) = OFF

Selective Acknowledgements (RFC2018) = ON

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

We first have to try and adjust your MTU higher.

Go to this link and download the TCP Optimizer:

https://www.speedguide.net/downloads.php

Open the TCP Optimizer and do the following:

General Settings tab:

Custom settings - check

Modify All Network Adapters - check

network adapter selection - your NIC

MTU 1500

TTL - 64

TCP Receive Window - blank

MTU Discovery - Yes

Black Hole Detect - No

Selective Acks - Yes

Max Duplicate ACKs - 2

TCP 1323 Options:

Windows Scaling - uncheck

Timestamps - uncheck

Advanced Settings tab:

Max Connections per Server - 10

Max Connections per 1.0 Server - 20

LocalPriority - 5

Host Priority - 6

DNSPriority - 7

NetbtPriority - 8

Lan Browsing speedup - optimized

QoS: NonBestEffortLimit - 0

ToS: DisableUserTOSSetting - 0

ToS: DefaultTOSValue - 240

MaxNegativeCacheTtl - 0

NetFailureCacheTime - 0

NegativeSOACache Time - 0

LAN Request Buffer Size - 32768

Then select "Apply Changes" and reboot to take effect

Then retest with https://www.speedguide.net/analyzer.php to confirm your MTU value

[incognito]

Nope it didnt change... my modem stays on tho... so should i reboot the modem as well ?

or is it only adjusting my registry ?

[trogers]

Look at your adapters properties in my network places see if there is an mtu option in there.

if you are using a pppoe connection using software to connect look at the pppoe properties of that connection sometimes there is an mtu setting there as well.

[incognito]

where am i looking... lol sorry im a newb

and im using pppoe

[trogers]

Looks like we have to go by the old-fashion way.

Call out  your DOS black screen and after C: use this command

ping -f -l (max value) www.testmy.net 

Where -l is minus small L  and max value is your largest anticipated MTU value minus 28.

Say you start with assumed MTU value of 1500, max value is 1500-28 = 1472

If you get a message "Packets need to be fragmented..." Then 1500 is not your largest MTU.

Go on pinging with a max value less 1 until you get a proper result like "Reply from XX.XXX.XX.XXX: bytes= ______  time = _____ ms    TTL= ___

The bytes value shown + 28 = your largest MTU. 

[incognito]

1464 Replied

so my max MTU = 1492

[trogers]

Yes. This means your ISP has a web proxy server that alters your MTU values as the signals pass through it.

Here is a ccs file for MTU 1492

Download the Cablenut Adjuster from www.cablenut.com and open the ccs file.

Then Click 'Save to Registry', exit and reboot comp. Test speed again and post..

Your RTT value to the US is almost 400 ms. You will not be able to achieve 90% as those in the US with RTT less than 200 ms.

"estimate = 27.22 based on packet size = 11Kbits, RTT = 397.94msec, and loss = 1.0E-6

The theoretical network limit is 27.22 Mbps

The NDT server has a 101.0 KByte buffer which limits the throughput to 1.98 Mbps

Your PC/Workstation has a 62.0 KByte buffer which limits the throughput to 1.22 Mbps

The network based flow control limits the throughput to 1.25 Mbps"

This ccs file adjusts your PC's buffer from 62 Kbytes to 124 Kbytes to raise your throughput limit from 1.22 Mbps to a higher value.

You can do the nitro test again to check your throughput limit.

estimate = 14.65 based on packet size = 11Kbits, RTT = 739.4msec, and loss = 1.0E-6

The theoretical network limit is 14.65 Mbps

The NDT server has a 8192.0 KByte buffer which limits the throughput to 86.55 Mbps

Your PC/Workstation has a 124.0 KByte buffer which limits the throughput to 1.31 Mbps

[trogers]

This is the best buffer value you can increase to. Any higher, you will start to have excess packet losses.

On your side, make sure you keep your router and modem a few feet apart. Electromagnetic interference from electrical devices (sound speakers, cordless phone, etc...) can increase RTT values and slow down your speed.
