My computer's running on Windows XP SP2 and my ISP is PLDT DSL (Philippines) with an average of more or less 512kbps.

Apparently, I'm only running at

Your connection is: 81 Kbps or 0.08 Mbps

You Downloaded at: 10 kB/s

You are running: 1 times faster than 56K and can Download 1 megabyte in 102.4 second(s)

Member Ident: CompID:19277445514559

Test Time:: 2006/07/25 - 12:20am

Test Browser and OS info: Mozilla/4.0 (compatible; MSIE 6.0; Windows NT 5.1; SV1)

Test ID: IMK00AF5B (if this is a screenshot go to testmy.net to see if this is fake)

Diagnosis ^info^: May need help : running at only 14.36 % of your hosts average (pldt.net)

This was tested from a 97 kB file and took 9.734 seconds to complete

But my friend's result, with the same ISP and plan is

Your connection is: 4375 Kbps or 4.38 Mbps

You Downloaded at: 534 kB/s

You are running: 76 times faster than 56K and can Download 1 megabyte in 1.92 second(s)

Member Ident: CompID:19277451377581

Test Time:: 2006/07/25 - 12:20am

Test Browser and OS info: Mozilla/4.0 (compatible; MSIE 6.0; Windows NT 5.1; en) Opera 8.52

Test ID: 38HVG4YW7 (if this is a screenshot go to testmy.net to see if this is fake)

Diagnosis ^info^: Awesome! 20% + : 675.71 % faster than the average for host (pldt.net)

This was tested from a 5983 kB file and took 11.203 seconds to complete

which just makes me so frustrated with my download speed  :angry5:

I tried using TCP Optimizer, but I'm not sure how to use it....

And the analyzers' results are:

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

TCP options string = 020405ac01010402

MTU = 1492

MTU is optimized for PPoE DSL broadband. If not, consider raising MTU to 1500 for optimal throughput.

MSS = 1452

MSS is optimized for PPPoE DSL broadband. If not, consider raising your MTU value.

Default TCP Receive Window (RWIN) = 15972

RWIN Scaling (RFC1323) = 0 bits

Unscaled TCP Receive Window = 15972

RWIN seems to be set to a very small number. If you're on a broadband connection, consider using a larger value.

RWIN is a multiple of MSS

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

511104 (MSS x 44 * scale factor of 8)

255552 (MSS x 44 * scale factor of 4)

127776 (MSS x 44 * scale factor of 2)

63888 (MSS x 44)

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

Your TCP Window limits you to: 638.88 kbps (79.86 KBytes/s) @ 200ms

Your TCP Window limits you to: 255.552 kbps (31.944 KBytes/s) @ 500ms

Consider increasing your RWIN value to optimize TCP/IP for broadband.

MTU Discovery (RFC1191) = ON

Time to live left = 57 hops

TTL value is ok.

Timestamps (RFC1323) = OFF

Selective Acknowledgements (RFC2018) = ON

IP type of service field (RFC1349) = 11110000 (240)

Precedence (priority) = 111 (Network Control)

Delay = 1 (low delay)

Throughput = 0 (normal throughput)

Reliability = 0 (normal reliability)

Cost = 0 (normal cost)

Check bit = 0 (correct, 8th checking bit must be zero)

DiffServ (RFC 2474) = No valid DiffServ equivalent. See the TCP Optimizer documentation, or RFCs 2474, 2475, 2597, 2598, 2873.

hey markgot and welcome to the forum :)

you seem to have a problem between these 2 hops, loosing packets

try powercycle modem/router, leave it off for atleast 2 minutes

also if you use a phone extension wire, replace it or bypass it and connect modem/router direct to your house main phone socket.

try that first, and see if the timeouts * in your traceroute dissapear. If not, call your ISP and let them check your modem sync and signals.

When thats fixed, ill help you with Tcp Optimizer settings or Cablenut settings.

VanBuren :)

I did what you said, and this was the result, and, btw, thanks for the welcoming. Sorry if I'm still noob to these things... Oh, and the asterix disappeared

great :)

now lets make sure no settings are wrong

download and install cablenut http://www.testmy.net/forum/index.php?action=dlattach;topic=1013.0;attach=64

open adjuster, click "delete cablenut tweaks" and click "save to registry"

now all fields is blank, click "Exit"

now open Tcp Optimizer

make sure all MTU fields is blank for all Network adapters

like this picture

click apply and reboot your PC

now make a new TCP analyzer test here https://www.speedguide.net:8080/ and post results

also test speed again

what speed does your ISP advertise? If its 512Kbps then your friend might use firewalls or internet accelerators that can give fake scores.

Ok, apparently, my ISP is running at 1mbps, and my friend doesn't really believe in those accelerators cuz he thinks that they're just RAM eaters. :)

And the results...

Timestamps (RFC1323) = OFF

As for the D/L Speed...it became faster...a bit  :)

Your connection is: 158 Kbps or 0.16 Mbps

You Downloaded at: 19 kB/s

You are running: 3 times faster than 56K and can Download 1 megabyte in 53.89 second(s)

first try the 2992 KB testfile http://www.testmy.net/dl-2992

still same speed? then also follow these steps

5. Under your LAN connection - properties - general tab, uninstall all the protocols there that you do not need.  You most likely only need "Client for Microsoft Networks" and "Internet Protocol (TCP/IP)."  If you share files on your home network, you also need "File and Printer Sharing for Microsoft Networks."

Answer:done that...

6. Open Internet Explorer and select the Tools menu, go to Internet Options, Connections tab, click the

LAN settings button, make sure nothing there is checked.

Answer:done that....

7. Never Connect to your modem via USB ! Always connect to your modem via ethernet (NIC) and make sure you have the latest drivers for your NIC. Set your NIC duplex mode to 10mb half duplex for Cable, for DSL it depends on the ISP service unless you are using a router, if so then set it to 100mb full duplex for both Cable & DSL. If you are using a router make sure you have the latest firmware.

Answer:done that... my NIC is now set to.... and firmware is the latest avalible

8. Power cycle your modem, unplug it for at least 3 minutes

Answer:done that...

9. Download, update, and do a scan with SpyBot and Ad Aware to remove any spyware

Answer:done that....

10. ZoneAlarm firewall has known problems with dropping speed, I suggest to uninstall it and compare speed

Answer:done that... speed changed to...

11. Install Outpost Firewall, Sygate Firewall, or Zone Alarm.

Answer:I got Norton and ...

12. Scan for viruses with your antivirus app, if you do not have one get one, AVG, Avast!, and Ewido are great.

Answer:done that, my antivirus program is...

13. Make sure you have ALL of the latest Windows Updates

Answer:done that.....

14. Download and run CCleaner

Answer:done that...

Still not good? Try these settings in TCP Optimizer

Hey Jose Rizal  :)

What does that program do?

VanBuren, I just finished doing all those listed...finally...but still no change...I also did the TCP optimizer config, still going to do another speed test though...just to see any difference... :)

At last, my connection's better!!!  :D It seems the problem was in our modem...it was just too old I guess....

After the replacement, I just did what you guys posted, since it was still slow, and now here's the new result :D

Thank you for your help Van.

Test Time:: 2006/08/12 - 12:02am

Bottom Line:: 29X faster than 56K 1MB Download in 5.02 sec

Tested from a 2992 kB file and took 14.657 seconds to complete
