| slow speeds in glendale hts, IL Hi,
I just got wow service 2.0mbps installed on saturday however, since then my speeds have usually been under 1.0 mbps. Running the 4 speed tests above I get:
1066 kbps, 1934 kbps, 895 kbps, 937 kbps
It's very inconsistent and download speeds overall usually don't exceed 50 KB/s. However, there were a couple websites like www.apple.com I achieved about 170 KB/s (downloading itunes). Should I ask them about it or is this normal? or any other suggestions?
thanks,
van | |

| Re: slow speeds in glendale hts, IL First off, re-do the tweak test and enter 2000 (not 2) in the advertised speed box. Then it can make the proper recommendations for your settings. I agree with Inflex  . Your RWIN is way too low. | |

| Re: slow speeds in glendale hts, IL thanks for the big help guys!
Speeds are right on track after increasing RWIN to 30500 and speeds are over 2k now 
Also tried downloading a file from microsoft's website. Yesterday it was about 50KB/s today it's at 280KB/s
What's somewhat troubling is that I doubt this would have been resolved had I tried calling wow support. Maybe they have the resources/knowledge to test this but from other ISP experiences I'd think not. | |

| Re: slow speeds in glendale hts, IL Not many ISPs ever think to suggest the RWIN value, mainly due to the fact that 99% of the customers out there have no idea what they are talking about. It makes support for that kind of thing very hard.
I also would suggest to you, if you are running a XP box to up your RWIN higher. I have mine set to the default of 64240 and always hit the speeds I should. But if you would rather leave it alone since it seems to be working fine for you then that is fine. | |

Head over to the tweaks forum and grab drtcp. Set it for 64k. | |

Yes, this was the fastest from those speed tests on that page (first 4).
