VanBuren Posted July 19, 2005 CID Share Posted July 19, 2005 hey bshater and welcome to the forum call your ISP, looks like they have you capped at 1500/384 VanBuren Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bshater Posted July 19, 2005 Author CID Share Posted July 19, 2005 Hey VanBuren, thanks for the advice. i was suspecting the same thing. but im upgrading my speed to Fios this Friday so i guess i will wait until then. but if i still have a problem after the upgrade, i'll come back to seek your great help. oh one more thing, what is the difference between ms1460 and 1452? its confusing me. thanx again.

VanBuren Posted July 19, 2005 CID Share Posted July 19, 2005 MSS ( Maximum Segment Size ) depends on what type of connection you have for Cable, LAN and some dsl connections its 1460 for dsl or FIOS over PPPoE its 1452, 1440 these are the most common values you can read more about MSS here http://www.tcpipguide.com/free/t_TCPMaximumSegmentSizeMSSandRelationshiptoIPDatagra-2.htm VanBuren Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
resijs Posted July 20, 2005 CID Share Posted July 20, 2005 On a similar note, Van, how can we tell what MSS we're on, broadbandreport? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VanBuren Posted July 20, 2005 CID Share Posted July 20, 2005 On a similar note, Van, how can we tell what MSS we're on, broadbandreport? you can run a TCP analyzer like these http://forums.speedguide.net:8117/ http://www.dslreports.com/tweaks MSS= MTU-40 some routers do mess up your MTU so the analyzer will show wrong MTU, but for Cable and LAN MTU is 1500 for almost all, and that gives a MSS of 1460 for DSL MTU is usally 1492 but sometimes 1500 aswell, that depends on ISP Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

johnnyboy Posted July 21, 2005 CID Share Posted July 21, 2005 i have the same thing as this topic. same dl/ul speeds and everything and same problems. if its capped and i call my isp what do i say and all that. i dont really know any of this stuff but i want my speeds as high as i can get them. and if i do call them and they get the speeds to the advertised speeds or higher speeds would it cost any extra, im thinking that it wouldnt because that is what they advertise and all but i dont know. any help wuld be nice.

netmasta Posted July 21, 2005 CID Share Posted July 21, 2005 Welcome to the site, johnnyboy. If you are getting the speeds you paid for, you don't need to call them unless you want higher speeds. A higher speed tier (package) would cost extra. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
