Hi there. I live in Brampton (near Toronto), Ontario, Canada and my ISP is Rogers just like the guy who posted down below. I'm also pretty new to the tweaking game and have already followed the two 'My Tips/Tweaks' threads at the top (most of them anyways). I was already using SPYBOT before coming in here and have since reinstalled Ad-Aware. I power cycled modem and router, scanned/removed spyware, performed full defrag as well as the paging file defrag as suggested. I also added all the cablenut settings as suggested in the thread below from my fellow Canadian.
1. What type of connection do you have? i.e. 56K, ISDN, DSL (PPPoE or not), Cable etc.
Cable
2. Who is your ISP and what is your advertised speed from them? i.e. Cox.net & 3000/256 - this is advertised in kilobits per second.
Rogers Cable Hi-Speed Internet, 1500/192 (supposedly)
3. What are your current settings now? Do a TCP/IP Analyzer test and copy and paste the results (remember to XXXXX out your IP address) here.
TCP properties for IP = xx.xxx.xxx.xx ()
Browser/OS = Mozilla/4.0 (compatible; MSIE 6.0; Windows NT 5.0; .NET CLR 1.1.4322)
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) = 58400
RWIN Scaling (RFC1323) = 0 bits
Unscaled Receive Window = 58400
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: 2336 kbps (292 KBytes/s) @ 200ms
Your RcvWindow limits you to: 934.4 kbps (116.8 KBytes/s) @ 500ms
MTU Discovery (RFC1191) = ON
Time to live left = 55 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)
4. Please tell us your operating system i.e. 95, 98, 98SE, ME, 2K or XP.
I also use Windows 2000 Professional
I am not sure exactly what all the above info means but what i would like to know is if i am pretty much at the limit of my connection?
Thx for any and all help and thank-you for existing :cool:

P.S. i ran a speedtest (dslreports.com) and it seems i'm at 1373/186 to Speakeasy, CA
P.S.S. a side note ..... i have the pagefile defrag program running for each reboot and it seems that now after each reboot, i need to insert my WIN2K PRO CD so that windows can 'repair' system files that were moved or replaced ..... is this a normal occurance with the defragger? ..... what gives? :confused:
