What Did You Do?

How exactly did you tweak your connection? I just got SNET DSL service and I am running Win XP. I am getting about 900-1050 down and 90 up. I would love to be getting the numbers you are. Any suggestions?

Re: What Did You Do?

The BEST way to tweak your system is to get on the SNET forum! These guys will have your connection maxxed-out in no time. Recommend that you go to DSLR Tools and run the "Tweak" option. This gives some very good information. You can save the link and post it on the SNET forum, and you will get easy and accurate recommendations to get the most from your connection.

 Logged onto SNET forum. Ran the tests and tweaked with the advice of the members there. Ended up changing RWIN to 17424 and MTU to 1492. That's all I needed to do and I was flying!

How Did you Change your MTU?

Do you have windows xp or xp pro? How do you change the
MTU in XP? I can use the utility to change the RWIN but
it will not change the MTU. I think I wlll have to edit
to registry.

Re: How Did you Change your MTU?

Sky King: If you are using Windows XP's built in PPPoE to connect then the MTU can go no higher than 1480. This is the case for XP Home and XP Pro.

For me, I use a router to connect so my MTU is 1492. If using a router you need to set the MTU in the router as well as the MTU for your network card. The network card's MTU can be set using DR.TCP.

Hope this helps.

Re: How Did you Change your MTU?

Yes I am using Windows XP's Pros built in PPPoE.
I still thought I had seen a way to edit the registry
and set the MTU higher. Are you saying that even if I edit
the registry and set it higher there it will not take?
TIA

 With XP's built in PPPoE 1480 is the highest possible MTU. I haven't seen where this can be tweaked at all.

You could always use RASPPPoE instead of XP's PPPoE which would allow a 1492 MTU.

I really don't think you'll see that much of a difference from 1480 to 1492 but can can give it a shot if you are a speed freak.

Pro Package in CT

Are you sure about that Pro package in CT?? I'm in Fairfield county and just ordered DSL. I asked two different reps about the Pro package as I saw that it was available in other states. Both reps told me not until the spring.
