Hi All,

[VanBuren]

hey John and welcome to the forum

try bypass the router and connect your PC direct to modem via ethernet

also follow all these steps and post again https://testmy.net/topic-2097

VanBuren

[poo417]

Hi and thanks for the quick reply.  The router I have has the modem built into it so i don't thinkI would be able to do that.. Will still be able to make alterations as you advised?

thanks

John

[VanBuren]

is the modem/router connected via ethernet or USB to your PC?

you can still follow these steps and post again https://testmy.net/topic-2097

Will look at post and get back to you.

download Dr.Tcp http://www.dslreports.com/front/DRTCP021.exe make sure it looks like this attached picture, if you see any value, use delete key and erase it, scroll down and make sure no MTU value is set for any adapter. Now click save and exit

download and install cablenut https://testmy.net/forum/index.php?action=dlattach;topic=1013.0;id=64 , click delete cablenut tweaks and click save to registry, now it must look like this attached picture, click exit

reboot your PC and make a new tweaktest, post result again

I hope this looks better to you to me it means nothing.  With a 2MB adsl connection what speed should I expect.

Thanks again for the help

John

[VanBuren]

your MTU seems abit off, do you have a manual for your router/modem ?

if so try looking for the MTU settings ( Maximal Transfer Unit ) and change it to 1500

if you cant find that value, i can make you a cablenut file for your current MTU

VanBuren

[poo417]

Hi, I have tried changing the MTU setting before to 1500 but had a few connection problems will try again and get back to you.

John

[poo417]

Hi tried setting the mtu level to 1500 stopped me from logging in msn messenger and surprisingly seemed to slow down my speed.  It may be somthing to do with either my router or bulldog dsl.  Any other suggestions?

John

try testing against

https://testmy.net/o-mirror-just-

u might score higher its not that difficult not to score 2mb since u testing against the usa

this one i just gave u its closer to you

do a speed test in http://www.bandwidthplace.com/

they are in the uk, u should be able to test 2mb !

nice to see some one from the uk always !!

[VanBuren]

Hi tried setting the mtu level to 1500 stopped me from logging in msn messenger and surprisingly seemed to slow down my speed.

[poo417]

Hi and thanks for the help, I have tried the other bandwidth test and it came up with worse results and the mirror page gave similar results to the american server!!!!! dipite all that ocean.  I have also tried changing my mtu level to 1492 and that did not seem to make any difference at all.  This is driving me mad but maybe it is just my connection and that will be the best I can get, but I am sure it used to be faster.  Any other suggestions would be much appreciated.

John

[VanBuren]

call your ISP and ask them what MTU they are using, then set that on your router

post again when thats done and i can build a cablenut file for you

VanBuren

[poo417]

Hi VanBuren, 

  I will do and get back to you thanks.
