2002-07-30 20:10:21 EST: 1228 / 102
Your download speed : 1228630 bps, or 1228 kbps.
A 149.9 KB/sec transfer rate.
Your upload speed : 102406 bps, or 102 kbps.
Seems like broadband .. above the 1mbit barrier!

I know I know... I should do some real download tests to see and not just browser tests :(

Analyzer Results

Post by Ka|ibur »

TCP options string = 020405b401010402

MTU = 1500
MTU is fully optimized for broadband.

MSS = 1460
Maximum useful data in each packet = 1460, which equals MSS.

Default Receive Window (RWIN) = 64240
RWIN Scaling (RFC1323) = 0 bits
Unscaled Receive Window = 64240
RWIN is a multiple of MSS
Other values for RWIN that might work well with your current MTU/MSS:
513920 (MSS x 44 * scale factor of 8)
256960 (MSS x 44 * scale factor of 4)
128480 (MSS x 44 * scale factor of 2)

bandwidth * delay product:
Your RcvWindow limits you to: 2569.6 kbps (321.2 KBytes/s) @ 200ms
Your RcvWindow limits you to: 1027.84 kbps (128.48 KBytes/s) @ 500ms

MTU Discovery (RFC1191) = ON

Time to live left = 31 hops
TTL value is ok.

Timestamps (RFC1323) = OFF

Selective Acknowledgements (RFC2018) = ON

IP type of service field (RFC1349)= 00101100
Precedence (priority) = 001 (priority)
Delay = 0 (normal delay)
Throughput = 1 (high throughput)
Reliability = 1 (high reliability)
Cost = 0 (normal cost)

PriorityBoost = 0
SmallBufferSize = 6400
TransmitWorker = 32
FastSendDatagramThreshold = 4096
EnableFastRouteLookup = 1
EnablePMTUDiscovery = 1

I try to use the smallest Rwin that u offer, cuz somehow smaller Rwins "feel" better when gaming =) does it really lower ping? I don't know, but it does feel like less loss.

Nope, it doesn't lower your ping at all, the AFD buffers will help with ping though. :)

I did that Lobo :) my previous settings were your settings with 64240 as Rwin and a DefaultRcvWin of my caps which u taught me how to make:

1500 / 8 = 187.5
187.5 * 1024 = 192000 :D

Both brought me closer than ever before!

It's not your settings, it's something else. Make sure you have the latest drivers for your NIC, you have your nIC duplex mode correct, power cycle your modem, clear your temp files and make sure there is no proxy enabled. :)

You sure system restore is off, all running programs, firewalls, virus scanners, ICQ, AIM:




In IE, go to Tools, internet options, connection tab at top, LAN settings at bottom, nothing should be checked in this box, NOTHING, No auto detect, no proxy, no automatic configuration script, NOTHING, REBOOT

I did a check on everything, everything is all good. I guess rogers just suck no matter how u tweak it, maybe cuz my modem isnt docsis ... I'm gonna call em when they're archives are back online, I called em earlier today they said something about their systems being offline so they can't access my account information. So I'll call them in a few days to ask to switch the modem if I can, otherwise I'll go shopping for ISP =) sigh, disapointing tho, I've had rogers for quite a few years too.

=) Goodbye Rogers!

Post by Ka|ibur »

Well I think I'm gonna get rid of Rogers now, had to say I've been more than a patient customer. I think I'll go with AEI's 3.5mb DSL and hope that works out good. I think SpeedGuide needs a ISP Flamming thread in their forums :) so people like me can warn others not to use ROGERS@Crap!

I noticed a lot of people who are complaining usually are using Rogers. Well I wish ya'll luck cuz I give up :rolleyes:
