Using a two year old wireless card with drivers updated March 2010.

Seem to have improved speeds a little, but still get a lot a variability.

Went to j79zlr's cablenut calculator, Entered my MTU, down/up speeds, and let it calculate and setup parameters.

Westell C90-327w30-06 is a modem/router/wireless combination

What is your ISP?
What speed service are you supposed to be getting in Kbps or Mbps?
What type of connection, Cable or DSL?

Try another tracert to yahoo.com. Noticed hop 2 on your original shows request timed out. All the rest have irregular times.

Make/model of modem.
Type of service, Cable, DSL, if fiber.
Can you access your modem and see what MTU setting it has and if you can change it if not 1492.

dlsayremn

Could you provide some more details?
Name of your ISP and speed they are giving you.
Type of connection, cable or DSL, and if yoiu use PPoE or PPoA.
Results of a speed test. Closest Speedtest.net server will do.
Results of tracert to Yahoo.com.

Having Autotuning disabled will not kill your computer ...

Glad to see Philip got you improved.

About 90% of your rated speed is the best you can do. Have Qwest 1.5 Mbps service, after Optimizing went from 1210 Mbp or less to 1340 Mbps on three older computers, ME, 98SE, and an XP. Optimizer doesn't work with Vista because of Autotuning, but using the tweaks here I added about 30 Kbps to my ...

dlsayremn

No. Because of line electrical resistance and other issues your actual speed will always be about 80% - 90 % of your allocated speed.

Have similar problem with command window from Run. Try Start, All Programs, Accessories, Command Prompt to get window that will stay up.

Not sure what is happenong, but you may be opening the file with your text editor program instead of downloading it.
This is what I get by clicking link for SG Vista TCP/IP Patch in either Downloads/Patches under Boradband Tools or in Philip's Windows Vista Tweaks article under Broadband tweaks ...

AW09, post your results here for Rollingstone to check. You may want to include a speedtest. Would suggest Speedtest.net from London or Maidenhead server.

dlsayremn

I would definitely give ATT a call. With a 6.0 Mbps connection you should be getting at least minimum of 4.0 Mbps. Even their test shows you are only getting about 15% of what they are charging you for.

dlsayremn

What type of connection do you have? Cable, DSL etc. Who is your ISP? What connection speed are you supposed to be getting?

Run a speedtest at SpeedTest.net.
Do a tracert. Post results here.

dlsayremn

Only thing I can think of at this point is possibly increase RWin at 256960.

dlsayremn

Could you run a tracert to Yahoo.com. Also in command prompt run, netsh int tcp show global. Post results of both here.

dlsayremn

Hello, and welcome to SG. Could you give some more information aout your system and performance?
What is the make and model of your computer, modem/router and wireless adapter? It would also help if you post a speed test and a tracert from your computer.

dlsayremn

Checked PLDT website. Say using ADSL, but not if PPoE or PPoa. No info on modem.

dlsayremn

Vista's autotuning makes tweaking difficult. Might look at Philip's article for more informatuion.
http://www.speedguide.net/read_articles.php?id=2574

Post a tracert also from command prompt run, netsh int tcp/ip settings show global. information may help.

dlsayremn

Duplicate post

Bad news. Major factor in download speed is the service being provided by your ISP. Those who are getting 20 Mbp or more are paying for it. Do to several factors about the best you can do is 90% of you rated download speed your ISP is selling you. I have a 1.5 Mbs service and get about 1350 Kbs ...

dlsayremn

Not familiar with any program called Windows Zero G and don't know why it would run at same time. Maybe someone could enlighten both of us about it.

Using what little knowledge I have learned fron the experts here on your problem. Mtu is usually 1492 or 1500, depending on whether you ISP uses PPOE ...

dlsayremn

Coud you post your OS, ISP and rated download speed, SG TCP/IP Analyzer results, a speedtest possible from speedtest.net, and tracert to yahoo.com. This information would make it easier to help you.

dlsayremn

Paris test looks very good to me. Geneve looks low considering how close you are, but crossing internatinal boundries can do that. Usually 85% to 90% of your rated speed is good.

dlsayremn

Could you you post the results of a speed test?
http://www.speedtest.net
Use a mirror close to you. You might also do a USA mirror if you surf there often.

dlsayremn

If your ISP package has a 512kbps maximum, then no

dlsayremn

What is your OS?

dlsayremn

I see that trogers is working with you. He and rollingstone are probably the best at helping to tweak. Be sure that when you go to apply settings that Backup is checked before you you click ok. This will save your present settings so you can go back to them.

Not sure what is going on. Cox ...

dlsayremn

What is your OS. modem make and model. What ISP are you using and what is your advertized download speed? Using PPoE or PPoa? Don't worry if you don't know, but the more information you can give will help the experts better help you

dlsayremn

trogers or rollingstone could probably explain this better, but you seem to be confusing bites and Bytes from different types of tests.

Speedtests are measured in kbps - kilobites per second

Information transfer rates are measured in KBps - KiloBytes per second.

544 kbps = 68 KBps

mccoffee,

Thanks for posting the link. I have a much older house with full basement and the old 40's three post connector for the service line inside. Was easy for me to update all inside telephone wiring 2 years ago when telco put in a new service line. Put in seperate jack for the modem, but ...

Need a little more information to make it easier for the experts to help you.
What Operating System do you have.
Run TCP Analyzer, a speedtest, and a tracert. Post results back here.

dlsayremn

TCP Analyzer still not working

dlsayremn

Run TCP Analyzer, a speed test, and tracert to http://www.yahoo.com. Post results here.
Also what operating system you are using. This should give a starting point.
