I'm using Windows XP

My Internet Service Provider is SMART BRO and the advertised speed for download is 384kbps.

I installed Cablenut 4.08, and here is the result of analyzer:

SpeedGuide.net TCP/IP Analyzer

TCP properties for IP = xxx.xx.xxx.xxx ()

Browser/OS = Mozilla/4.0 (compatible; MSIE 6.0; Windows NT 5.1)

Notes: Read the Analyzer FAQ if the above is not your IP address.

TCP options string = 020405b401010402

MTU = 1500

MTU is fully optimized for broadband.

MSS = 1460

Maximum useful data in each packet = 1460, which equals MSS.

Default TCP Receive Window (RWIN) = 64240

RWIN Scaling (RFC1323) = 0 bits

Unscaled TCP Receive Window = 64240

RWIN is a multiple of MSS

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

513920 (MSS x 44 * scale factor of

256960 (MSS x 44 * scale factor of 4)

128480 (MSS x 44 * scale factor of 2)

64240 (MSS x 44) <-- current value

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

Your TCP Window limits you to: 2569.6 kbps (321.2 KBytes/s) @ 200ms

Your TCP Window limits you to: 1027.84 kbps (128.48 KBytes/s) @ 500ms

MTU Discovery (RFC1191) = ON

Time to live left = 118 hops

TTL value is ok.

Timestamps (RFC1323) = OFF

Selective Acknowledgements (RFC2018) = ON

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

Are you using a router, if so try directly to the modem.

Also what type of connection are you using? Cable*Satelite*DSL*ISDN*Wireless* etc...

before I downloaded TCPoptimizer my connection was worst that what you have.. also, try browsing this site fore more related info. I am pretty sure you'll find the help you needed here in testmynet.net.

man if it was'nt for this wonderfull site, I'd still be counting birds on the sky while wating for a website to load 

[bahimas]

@tommie gorman

My internet connection provider is SmartBro too..but to be honest I dont really know what type of connection it is.. certainly its not cable.. what i just know is that we have a small square like antenna on the roof of our house and that acts as our connection.. SmartBro is Formerly Called SmartWiFi. its a philippine based company..

[stingingsilver]

Thanks for the info bahimas. I got both cablenut and tcp optimizer, im just waiting for someone to post which is better and could you please tell me how to setup tcp optimizer? I really have no idea how to do it. ..

Thanks in advance

[bahimas]

its easy, on the general  settings tab of TCPoptimizer, just move the slider to the advertised speed of  smart bro then make sure that the PPPoE  (below the MTU box) was checked, then click on the optimal settings on the lower right corner and finaly left click apply changes...

is your location near or far from a cellsite? I've heared that your Smart Bro connection gets weaker as go you farther  from a local cellsite..I am just 50 yards away from a cellsite so I got the best signall possible..

if still TCPoptimizer doesnt help you.. I guess you should call *1888 using a smart sim and tell them you need tech support, tell them their service sucks! and call them names!

[stingingsilver]

Thanks again Bahimas.

Nah, with those speeds you are now probably experiencing cached results.

@stingingsilver

nice one dude.. I guess there's no need for you to call smart bro's costumer service number.( I call them even if I dont have  a problem with my connection just to make fun of them ROFL!)

enjoy it dude ...

dont forget to thanks this wonderful site

[tommie gorman]

stingingsilver those speeds look pretty close to bahimas's speeds. So I would guess you are right on track. 

Enjoy.

[stingingsilver]

oh yeah, now that you mention it. . thanks to this site and to you bahimas for helping me out
