fred Posted March 2, 2004 Author CID Share Posted March 2, 2004 thanks micro What I have here is a dsl connection @ 1200dwn and 256k up advertised but the ISP has been doing a lot of changes to their network. It seems like the speeds are acceptible and average at least a T1 service, as you have seen my uploads are outrageous 1300 to1700k up and this is where I feel the problem lies because the up should not be greater than the down. I use the TCP optimiser to check my (mtu) and pings I have a Zone labs 2004 pro fire wall that I can edit for all of the sites that I ping so as not to let my defenses down. I also have this Big Amp Rwin calculator that helps me figure out the Rwin settings in the register. I also use the doctor ping program at DSLreports and at one time they use to post my ping times, however the timeouts no longer allow them to post.
