Well Tweeked

[lorne]

Here are some tests from my freshly tweeked P2 550MHZ 128 meg ram, which I thought was a p3 but it isn't

lorne,

Thats reall kick ass especially with a P2 w/128megs ram,what was the mix up with your setup?

microwave

ps, and your pushing from BC Canada...

Thanks

Somehow my RWIN got changed to 99,280 which is a touch hi for me. Still don't know how this happened. So I changed it back to 64,240 and away she went. OH I also tweeked my windows real good before I did those tests.And that seemed to add some more speed.

[Swimmer]

Ok lorne now you get to help me!!

Really bad!! my Rwin value is 255552. I have downloaded the software and everything and not much has happened. Got any ideas??

And rwin is 'optimal' according to the TCPOptimizer.

I'm jealous.

Don't think I'm getting bad speeds, it's just that I'm on a 1500/128 connection.

What are you capped at Try a couple of these tests to see what your packet loss is http://www.broadbandreports.com/tweaks

If your getting packet loss take your RWIN down until your getting almost no packet loss ( I say this because I have found it impossible to get 0 packet loss consistently) Also what is your os because i found tweeking my os so it used less memory sped things up a bit.If the above doesn't work we can try tweeking your windows OH one more thing I have nothing running in the background except explorer and systray when i test

[lorne]

RTB

Seems to me your running right where you should be. I have found what the optimizer thinks is optimal isn't always right. Try playing with it a bit, you might get lucky and get some more speed, make sure it always multiple of MSS

[Swimmer]

I am on windows 2000 pro. There is no packet loss right now.. I currently have the Comcast 1500/256 plan but they are to up us to 3000/300ish soon. Any more ideas

Looks like your getting more than you should already

If your not getting any packetloss you can try taking your RWIN up some more

Or you can try some windows tweeks if you haven't already

[MICROWAVE]

Swimmer,

As a general rule or a guide line if you get 90% of the speed you pay for your connection is working fine,also when testing from any site I try to get an average of my speed.Its a number that can change from moment to moment due to traffic on the net or from your ISP etc. I have also found that when my PC is running optimal if I test from another site it often suggest changing something. No two systems or connections are the same so I treat tweak sites as "guide lines" and after testing many times often over a few days then I decide what my settings should be.Also I run win xp home and it appears after running for a while it may even get a little faster. I have been told due to pre-fetch and other settings this is pretty common.I guess its really never fast enough for me thats why I'm always trying to squeeze just a little bit (or byte) outta this thing, ha but it sure is fun!!!!!

What is your system, if ya dont mind me askin

Post some scores I haven't seen many of your scores, great point by the way, about testing over a few days before deciding what to tweek

[MICROWAVE]

Here goes oops ,

Now dont laugh this allows me to go at least 25% over my paid speed from cox.hsi, actually Im interested how fast it will really go! I have downloaded files up to 850KB/sec this is an insuarence replacement fo a laptop that got stolen from my car.

Thanks, well that is a pretty nice replacement, nothing to laugh at. Nice speeds. 850Kb/sec wow fastest i ever got was 590 Kb/sec. Is this on a 1500 kbps cap OH is that virtual memory tweeked ?

What I meant by that is when downloading a very large file the speed that seen on the window at the end of the download, not the beginning as you know when downloading files if you have a pop up window that tells your speed it starts very fast and slows as the down progresses,it gives a good indication of speed.My paid for speed from cox.hsi is 3000/256 until recently it was much faster,dint get me wrong I'm reaaal happy with my cox.hsi setup and service,as a matter of fact I was at my uncles house yesterday and the cox tech repaired TV and hooked up broadband as always everything went great. I'm not sure if my uncle totally understands the difference yet between dial up (PUKE) and HSI but I think he will soon.

What is your advertised speed ? Are you behind a firewall, if you are lower it and do another of the test you did above. What is your OS?

this might sound funny but dont forget to put your firewall back up after the test, I say that because that is something I have forgot to do before.

Oh yeah you should try running these 3 spyware removal programs also, they work good together. I have found that one program say like spybot just doesn't catch everything. And spyware is evil it eats up a ton of bandwidth.
