You would set TCP Optimizer at 4000 Kbps since it seems like you are capped at 4Mbps.

Download speed doesn't matter as long as long as you don't have lag, latency, and high ping times. These three things can mess with your surfing experience a lot. As for downloading pages, it is going to depend on the server you are on, also where the server is located. Your computer specs next ...

I tried Windows' self tune stacking RWIN at 17520. That sure didn't work for me and made my connection slow and laggy. I decided to give TCP Optimizer a try after reading the reviews on Cnet. After I reboot the PC, my connection got faster and faster. Before I did the tweaks I got 2.2Mbps down and ...

Your signal levels looks very good. It sounds like your modem is going bad if it's disconnecting like that. Swap your modem if it
is a rental from your ISP, or you might have to go buy a new one if it was purchased from Walmart, Best Buy, etc.

TeenInternetAddict

What are your signal levels? Go to Signal levels and check your signal levels, copy and paste them here so I can take
a look at them. It could be bad signal levels, NIC, coaxial cables, splitters, bad CAT5 cable, etc. causing your connection to drop. If your signal levels, coaxial cables, splitters ...

The slider should be at 1500Kbps since you're capped at 1.5Mbps down.

LOL :) I find out from reading Dell Support forum two or three days ago that I could upgrade the 1.7 GHz Intel Celeron processor
to a 2.8GHz Pentium 4 with 512K RAM cache. A P4 will be way better and faster than an Intel Celeron processor is. By going to PowerLeap which does have upgrades to make ...

TCP Optimizer beta 8 works better and I get 256960 as long as the MTU is at 1500, I could find the DefaultTOSValue in the registry and page loads instantly. I'm still going to play around
with the "Advanced Settings", I'm trying to find the right spot for my connection. But the service is way better ...

Thanks, Philip, you answer my questions. I will wait until the final version comes out.

I just love this TCP Optimizer beta version. But I have two questions. One question, where is the DefaultTOSValue key in the registry? I can't even find the registry value or number to check. Second question, everytime I select 4000Kbps and click on Optimal Settings to help with ...

I was messing around with my cablenut settings. I am running Windows XP SP2, but the original settings that Mnosteele52 and Mccoffee gave me a high rwin at 512000. It's not their fault so I'm not going to blame them, though. I read when you upgrade to SP2, the upgraded TCP/IP stack or AFD reads your ...

I already got upgraded to 4000/512 in Topeka, Kansas, and I'm getting anywhere from 3.9-4.8Mbps down and 504-506Kbps up after downloading TCPOptimizer and using 256960 as my TcpReceieveWindow and rebooting the computer. I did tried 64240 and it still won't work for me. The tweaking forum at DSLR ...

Good evening, everyone! I have downgrade from 3000/256 to 128/128 because 128Kbps cable is a lot more cheaper from Cox than their 3Mbps service if you're on a budget. Well, I need help tweaking my registry for 128Kbps cable. I'm using a Terayon TJ715x hooked up by Ethernet. The ethernet drivers is ...

I use Cablenut to tweak my Cox HSI connection but when I use 32768 which is the DefaultSendWindow that you're supposed to use for a 256Kbps upload cap, my speeds goes down to 230-240Kbps up. But when I use 16384, my UL speed shots up to 245-250Kbps up. Can someone please tell me what is going on? Is ...

The worse traffic city? I would have to say Topeka, Kansas. If you drive at 5 or 6pm on a Monday evening, everyone is getting off from work to go home. Then you have 3 o'clock traffic, that's when HS students, parents, people, and college students are usually in a rush to get home from work or ...

I had a black lab dog named Midnight because he was black. My mom and dad got him from a farm when I was a baby. When I was about 9 years old in 1992, the dog had arthiritis and diabetes.

You're lucky to get 9Mbps for $45 per month, Lee_Nover. You only need perfect signal levels, no viruses and spam on your computer? I'm moving to Canada to get this! Cable companies in the US only get like 384-4Mbps down and 128-384Kbps up which is pitiful, except for OOL which is capped at 10Mbps ...

Mccoffee, maybe you're right. I don't think a alternate DNS server won't work but I'm willingly to try anything, it's the routing. I tried explaining this to Cox tech support and they won't give me any definte answers. To go over the local office, I have to write a letter to Cox coporate ...

Just call SBC and see if they can uncap your line to 1.5Mbps down. Or see if your line can support 1.5Mbps. If your line can't support 1.5Mbps or you're too far from the CO, you're going to be stuck with 384/256. I know SBC sucks but you have to keep calling them until you find the right person that ...

hightower, it's not TCP Optimizer causing your lag or hosting problems with your xbox/xbconnect. Lag is usually caused by your ISP, the Internet, servers, routers, backbone providers(which your ISP has a contract with), your wiring, if your router's firmware is upgraded. If not, sometime upgraded ...

Will the guy in Nigeria send me any money? No, it's not a joke because I'm behind in my bills. All I'm asking is people to send a dollar which isn't very much. If someone can tell me how to make money on the Internet, I'm all ears.

I use TCP Optimizer because the patches work for me.
