falco Posted January 7, 2005 CID Share Posted January 7, 2005 I use a 900 Mhz radio system using a flat antenna pointed line of site to a tower. The tower is about 15 miles away. The provider advertises upload speeds of up to 4 Mbps and up to 1 Mbps upload. My download is as follows: :::.. Download Stats ..::: Connection is:: 591 Kbps about 0.6 Mbps (tested with 579 KB) Download Speed is:: 72 KB/s Tested From:: http://www.testmy.net/ Bottom Line:: 11 times faster than 56K you can download 1MB in 14.22 second(s) Validation Link:: https://testmy.net/cgi-bin/get.cgi?Test_ID=GQEBW516X My upload was 160 Kbps. Does anyone have an experience with this kind of system or any suggestions on speeding it up? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RTB Posted January 7, 2005 CID Share Posted January 7, 2005 http://www.dslreports.com/tweaks That's the test he means btw, nice copy'n'pasting VanBuren. Edit: btw falco, you're either being ripped off, or your ISP is blatantly lying on their maximum speed. You are not even close, and you'll never get close...

MICROWAVE Posted January 7, 2005 CID Share Posted January 7, 2005 Welcome to the site I hope you enjoy and if your speed can be improved there are people here that will be happy to help.......... Yep I gotta agree with RTB your ISP is telling you something that they wont even come close to.. There must be some fine print somewhere...... the good news is that it may be possible to improve your speed......

VanBuren Posted January 7, 2005 CID Share Posted January 7, 2005 download and install Cablenut here https://testmy.net/forum/index.php?action=dlattach;topic=1013.0;id=64 download this file below, unzip it to C:ProgramCablenut open cablenut adjuster, in topleft corner click file, open custom settings file, browse to the file you unzipped and dubble click on it click save to registry and reboot good luck VanBuren Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MICROWAVE Posted January 7, 2005 CID Share Posted January 7, 2005 A Default receive window(RWIN) at 17520 is a default setting Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VanBuren Posted January 7, 2005 CID Share Posted January 7, 2005 An RWIN at 17520 is a default setting set by XP unless you made it that value.... Microwave yea thats correct MICROWAVE If your running your LAN adapter in 10 Mbit mode its 17520 on win XP and if you run your LAN adapter at 100 Mbit its 64240 I think win 2000 has it locked at 17520 but im not sure VanBuren Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

VanBuren Posted January 7, 2005 CID Share Posted January 7, 2005 i dont know what route you using, but i take it you using same route as me to testmy.net then i can understand if your speed droped try downloading these files (not at same time) and tell us what speed you get, let it download for a while lets say 50% and read what speed you have. ftp://ftp1.optonline.net/pub/test64 ftp://ftp.newaol.com/aol6.0/179902/setupaol60.exe ftp://test.tampabay.rr.com/ftp.50m.sav VanBuren Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
falco Posted January 7, 2005 Author CID Share Posted January 7, 2005 here are my results: optonline.net = 35.0KB/sec newaol.com = 32.1 KB/sec tampabay.rr.com = 28.5 KB/sec I was typically getting around 50-60 KB/sec before the changes.

VanBuren Posted January 7, 2005 CID Share Posted January 7, 2005 ok then your ISP have some sirious issues, that no tweak can fix. open cablenut, click delete cablenut tweaks + click save to registry and reboot call your ISP and let them fix your connection and lets try this again when your connection is fixed VanBuren Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
falco Posted January 7, 2005 Author CID Share Posted January 7, 2005 Thanks for the help. It seems that my speed is varying alot in the last 1/2 hour. I did another speed test about 15 min. ago and got 347 Kbps and now it seems slower again. I don't know if the weather interferes that much with radio signals but i am up in Canada with 2 feet of snow on the ground and it is -15 deg. out. This system is the only option I have for high speed besides satellite so I will have to live with it. I'm in a rural location and am about 15 miles from the nearest town.

I'm in a rural location and am about 15 miles from the nearest town. no problem I live up in northern Sweden and we also have plenty of snow, a company i used to work for had a similar connection as you. When snow got stuck in the dish, speed was horrible, but snowing had always a negative effect on speed, even tho we cleaned that dish.
