Speed Help. 20% of my Host

1. OS: Mac OS X 10.4.8 and a Windows XP With the latest software and updates.

2. Internet Service Provider (ISP): Verizon. I have a  Westell 2200 and pay about 30 dollars a month for internet connection

3. No Tweaking Programs yet. Broadband Optimizer is broken (the link is broken, or the download. You see the page but the download doesn't work).

TCP options string = 020405ac010303000101080a68cb05ca0000000004020000

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) = 65535

RWIN Scaling (RFC1323) = 0 bits

Unscaled TCP Receive Window = 65535

Note: TCP 1323 Options need to be enabled for RWIN over 2^16 (65535). Windows 9x might also need the MS Vtcp386 fix.

For optimum performance, consider changing RWIN to a multiple of MSS.

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

511104 (MSS x 44 * scale factor of

255552 (MSS x 44 * scale factor of 4)

127776 (MSS x 44 * scale factor of 2)

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

Your TCP Window limits you to: 2621.4 Kbps (327.675 KBytes/s) @ 200ms

Your TCP Window limits you to: 1048.56 Kbps (131.07 KBytes/s) @ 500ms

MTU Discovery (RFC1191) = ON

Time to live left = 55 hops

TTL value is ok.

Timestamps (RFC1323) = ON

Note: Timestamps add 12 bytes to the TCP header of each packet, reducing the space available for useful data.

Selective Acknowledgements (RFC2018) = ON

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

5. Not Windows (done that on the windows computer)

6. Not Windows (done that on the windows computer)

7. I do use an NIC card for both computers.

8. Done that.

9. No Spyware

10. No ZoneAlarm

11. I have a firewall (router with ports forwarded)

12. No viruses

Remember I use windows and a mac on a router. Even if i disconnect one from the network the results are the same on the tests.

I don't use an inexpensive package from my ISP. So I should have a pretty high speed conection, but I only use about 30-50% of the host. If you need more informationm just ask

Any help with speeding up?

Welcome to the forum pyrofirewizard 

What are your advertised speeds from your ISP. If they are around 1.5 download speed, then you are already in the ballpark. That is only giving you an average speed of all packages provided by Verizon. 

"Download Connection is:: 1365 Kbps about 1.37 Mbps "

"Download Diagnosis:: May need help : running at only 22.58 % of your hosts average (verizon.net) "

[pyrofirewizard]

Yes, it seems I have 1.5 mbps. :/ I'm not satisfied, and there seems to be an upgrade available, so I might do that. Thanks for the help and notification!

[biker9075]

Looks like the next highest package would be 3.0 Mbps for 29.99/mo, but even that wont get anywhere near 100% because of Verizon FIOS.

[tommie gorman]

Yeah danged FIOS, making almost everybody look bad.
