Problem with Cable Speeds!!

Post by cesium »

I've done a message similar to this before. I did all the things reccomended. For a while, my cable speed stayed constant at 1.7 mbps. After that, it went to 2.2 mbps. It stayed like that for a while. Today, I did a few speed tests and my speed went from 2.2mb/264kb to 1.1mb/94kb. What is going on here???

TIA,

Oh, and here are my settings...

SpeedGuide.net TCP/IP Analyzer


TCP properties for IP = XX.XX.XX.XXX ()
Browser/OS = Mozilla/4.0 (compatible; MSIE 6.0; Windows NT 5.1; .NET CLR 1.0.3705)
Notes: Read the Analyzer FAQ if the above is not your IP address.

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) = 37960
RWIN Scaling (RFC1323) = 0 bits
Unscaled Receive Window = 37960

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)
64240 (MSS x 44)
bandwidth * delay product:

Your RcvWindow limits you to: 1518.4 kbps (189.8 KBytes/s) @ 200ms
Your RcvWindow limits you to: 607.36 kbps (75.92 KBytes/s) @ 500ms
MTU Discovery (RFC1191) = ON
Time to live left = 50 hops

TTL value is ok.
Timestamps (RFC1323) = OFF
Selective Acknowledgements (RFC2018) = ON
IP type of service field (RFC1349) = 01011100

Precedence (priority) = 100 (flash override)
Delay = 1 (low delay)
Throughput = 1 (high throughput)
Reliability = 0 (normal reliability)
Cost = 1 (low cost)

Also be mindful of the fact that whilst you may not be infected with recent virus's / worms, many many people are, and this is causing extreme backups all over the internet, especially in shared bandwidth networks such as cable modem providers.
