[Cable] [CABLE] Tweak Test please

Begin by downloading Dr.TCP here »/front/drtcp.html

Set your MTU to 1500 and your TCP receive window to 32120.

Also, change your MTU on your router to 1500.

Run the tweak again and post.

Alright, this is the results I got before and after the tweak. I changed everything you told me to but the results seem worse than before.

thanks,
Hawkmoon269

Could you try the speakeasy server you used before the tweak? This will let us compare more acurately.

Also, post a new updated tweak test.

Ok, heres the tweak test: »ny-monitor.dslreports.com/tweak/···a=normal

but I couldn't use the speak easy server again, a red X in the upper left hand corner appeared and that was it...

Ok, I looked at the tweak test and you changed the MTU to 1500 successfully, good. But you didn't change the TCP receive window to 32120. Do that, then run another speed test and tweak test.

I was pretty sure I set the window correctly, anyway, I checked and made sure it was correct and heres the new tests:

LINKLINE:
2039 kbps\306 kbps

tweak test: »ny-monitor.dslreports.com/tweak/···a=normal

Did you reboot? Cause you are still showing 64240 on the tweak test, not 32120.

stupid me, didnt think to reboot, sry,I'll reboot and tweak test again

tweak test: »ny-monitor.dslreports.com/tweak/···a=normal

1st: 2030 kbps\347 kbps
2nd: 2022 kbps\347 kbps

Looking awesome!

Try this new speed test, I just found it, it seems ever more accurate than dslrs' speed test. Then post your results from here.

»web100.rit.edu:7123/

Try some of the speed test in Texas listed on this page too:

Alright, here is some speed tests from the new place:

1. 2.12Mb/s|343.59Kb/s

2. 2.05Mb/s|343.59Kb/s

3. 1.47Mb/s|343.05Kb/s

4. 1.47Mb/s| 327.15Kb/s

Alright, seems to be okay, although from the first test on it has been in a decending fall

Your upload has improved, if you have noticed, and since you can't retest from the original speakeasy i wouldn't worry about. You are getting more than your advertised download speed. Enjoy the connection!

Actually, you set a new record with that first test of 2.12Mb/s that was the fastest test you posted. I am not sure what is up with the last two, I don't believe them.

I have RR too, and just to let you know I average in the 1900's. So I am jealous of your getting more the 2000 . Enjoy the speed!

Thank you VERY much for helping me out with this tweak, I didn't know there were people out there like you who do this for free. Well, again, I really apreciate everything you've done.

With Great Sincerity,

Well the services here really are not "free" >> you get helped, then you help someone else whenever you can >> Kinda like a "pay it forward" type thing.
