Tweak or not to tweak


bwt1953

Recommended Posts

I've spent the last couple of hours playing with settings on this box. I have run thru several of the cablenut tweaks, even trieds some of the fiber full duplex and sat settings. All basically delivered acceptable performance. Though the sat settings ran the upload into the gutter. I am paying for 'up to' 1500/512. But my service provider has been working to up the speeds and I don't really know that there is any real cap imposed.  I am guessing that they are preping for the competition that is about to be thrown upon them. Verizon is in the neighborhood with giant spools of fiber, going house to house. My main concern is keeping my upload as high as possible. I tie into our servers 20 miles away via Win2k3 RTS, move alot of large graphics files up and down the pipe, and dabble in video.

I haven't been at this optimizing long enough to know what to look for. Any help is surely appreciated

One other thing, I use this smaller machine to access the web, homemade AMD XP2400 w/512 on an ASUS board. My workstation, which is a dual P4 2.8HT XEON Supermicro is hidden within the network, doesn't get out to the net. Will the larger faster machine do better, or does it matter?

This ISP is talking about offering what I think he hinted at to be 7000/3000 service. Cost a few more duckettes, but I didn't even want to enetrtain the idea unitl I was able to see some stability in service over this wireless net. This is all shared bandwidth. Goes up and down as others get online in the community. But these speeds here are during what is condsidered peak useage times. I just may try out some of his dedicated service packages.
