FireRescue Posted February 9, 2005 CID Share Posted February 9, 2005 Im an Gamer. And connection is everything right.? Right! Ive paid the extra 12$ a month to comcast for minimal success for my connection. Ive read yalls posts for some tweaks and they scare the crap out of me. back this up do this and do that or this will happen, What i am looking for is not my download speed increased.. I would like a fast upload and ping. Could you give me any guidance (baby steps) to point me in the right direction for my gaming performance.

VanBuren Posted February 9, 2005 CID Share Posted February 9, 2005 hey FireRescue and welcome to the forum there is no tweak to get lower pings, also 99% of all games run over the UDP protocol, and that cant be tweaked like the TCP protocol. I suggest you run a line quality test here http://www.dslreports.com/tools sign up, its free disable your firewall or make sure you allow ICMP traffic during test the test will find out if you have packetloss VanBuren Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FireRescue Posted March 14, 2005 Author CID Share Posted March 14, 2005 ok. i do the rwin change with dctcp? what is the window scaling? set rwin to 64240 and windows off.. right? another question... i heard you can uncap your modem... now does that make your download and upload faster... if so why are there limits. default limits... I asked a guy from broadband reports and he suggested this below.. is he right? My question; I have a Terayon TJ715x. Comcast gold package. I was wondering if my router has caps and could the router be tweaked for a fast upload and download connection.. Could you please help.

FireRescue Posted March 15, 2005 Author CID Share Posted March 15, 2005 Thanks Van Buren. For all your help. I will read more on the links you gave me.. Why is it illegal to uncap the modems.. If its yours why couldnt you. and why is there a cap limit on them; i would think they would want to optimize there product. Thanks again.

FireMedic It is not the manufacture of the modems that puts the caps on them, it is your ISP. Your ISP puts the caps in place so they can charge you for "up to XXX speed" with one plan, then up to XXX speed with a different plan. Uncapping is illegal because then you would receive at the highest possible rate for your connection/signals would allow. This would be classified as theft of service, which is why it is illegal. -REH Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
