RR in clearwater is uncapped, but what does it mean?

Ganja · Post by **Ganja** » Sun Jan 14, 2001 5:51 pm

I'm in clearwater using RoadRunner. A couple of days ago I got intouch with RR helpdesk to find what my download/upload caps are. They told me there were none in place for my area.
Heres the questiions :
1. What does an uncapped cablemodem actually mean?
2. What type of download speeds are theoretically possible ?
3. Any idea what my registry settings should be to take advantage of this ? eg: what value should go in my RcvWindow, TTL, basically whats the best settings?

1. That means enjoy your speeds now, soon they will be s---l---o---w.

2. You can theoritically download at 10Mbps

3. RcvWindow should be 65535, TTL should be 225

Rather fail with honor than succeed by fraud.

It means you are a lucky SOB like me! I'm on RR and uncapped also. My RWIN is 256960 and TTL=64.

i thought a high Rcv Window would be best ? and TTL of 225 is kinda high isnt it?

martin777 - wow, those speeds are Fast. I tried running the speed test at dslreport.com but its nothing like yours. Mine usually says the connection is at least 35 times faster than 56k.
Would you mind posting or emailing me your registry settings.

Here's my speeds, too bad my uploads aren't uncapped, but my download speeds are:

** Speed 5206(down)/631(up) kbps **
(At least 104 times faster than a 56k modem)
Logging result
Finish.

At non peak time, my upload is more faster, but I'm capped at 768 kbps.

Here's my registry settings:

DefaultMSS: 1460 SackOpts: 1
MaxMTU: 1500 DefaultTTL: 64
PMTUDiscovery: 0
RWIN: 186880
Tcp1323Opts: 3

You're welcome!

These settings helped me recieve faster download speeds. It might not work for you, but it did for me.

I have tried so many different settings now, but I never seem to break a download averaging 230KB/sec. Now I'm thinking RR got it wrong when they said my area is uncapped. I wish my DSL report showed 100+ times faster than 56k.

Thanks for helping me out

230k/s is a great speed considering the fact that I can barely get 180k(my cap) and that's only when downloading from an OC connections....enjoy the speeds why they last man.
