<title>[Fiber] WinXP gets much slower download speed than Ubuntu</title>
<link>http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,23252053</link>
<description><![CDATA[At my university I get a fast Internet connection.  I can download at up to 90mbps (Speakeasy.net speedtest) on both my Ubuntu setup and my Mac OSX setup.  Windows Vista also seems to be able to get up to 90mbps. When I run Windows XP (on the same machine as Ubuntu) however, I get a maximum download speed of 30mbps.  What is causing this difference in download speed?]]></description>

<title>[ DrTCP - XP64]  Tweak Advice?</title>
<link>http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,23275421</link>
<description><![CDATA[Just wondered if anyone has some good advice for tweaking this connection? I'm kinda confused on what to enter for good values into DR.TCP.

UPDATE: http://www.dslreports.com/tweakr/block:39c7ae9?service=cable&speed=10000&os=winXP&via=normal

This is what I applied and the results the TweakTest has provided. Seems okay?

<title>Suffering with 60 sec page loads</title>
<link>http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,23275080</link>
<description><![CDATA[Pages would load acceptably fast before I replaced my modem.

I now have a Netopia 3346n-002, purchased used. Before plugging it in I used a paperclip to push the reset button in the back to get it back to factory. Then I changed the admin password and entered my ISP user/password. 

The modem synched up and now I am online. Problem is I now have a high latency with every single page loaded. Google.com takes 20 seconds to load. CNN.com takes 60 seconds to load. I dont know what to do from here.

Can somebody assist?

2. Speakeasy Speed test:5136/648 and 5120/645 (did not see how to link in URL from speakeasy)

3. Line Quality test: http://www.dslreports.com/linequality/nil/2581686

4. DSL connection, ATT West provider. I have a Netopia 3346n-002 modem. No router.

5. Modem uses PPPOE

6. not sure

7. WinXP/SP3.

8. Advertised speed "up to 6Mb" Modem synchs at 6013/768

9. Home network with modem/router to the internet.

10. NAT router Netopia 3346n-002

11. Access point is fairly close. I dont know the actual distance (2k ft?)]]></description>
