My provider is Shaw. Specs are:
TCP options string = 020405b4010303000101080a003e5ebe00000000

MTU = 1500
MTU is fully optimized for broadband.

MSS = 1460
Maximum useful data in each packet = 1448, which is less than MSS because of Timestamps, or other TCP/IP options used.

Default Receive Window (RWIN) = 8760
RWIN Scaling (RFC1323) = 0 bits
Unscaled Receive Window = 8760
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: 350.4 kbps (43.8 KBytes/s) @ 200ms
Your RcvWindow limits you to: 140.16 kbps (17.52 KBytes/s) @ 500ms
Consider increasing your RWIN value to optimize TCP/IP for broadband.

MTU Discovery (RFC1191) = ON

Time to live left = 52 hops
TTL value is ok.

Timestamps (RFC1323) = ON
Note: Timestamps add 12 bytes to the TCP header of each packet, reducing the space available for useful data.

Selective Acknowledgements (RFC2018) = OFF

IP type of service field (RFC1349)= 00000000

**One day in speaking to my ISP, they said there was no upload or download cap, both were dynamic. So I tried uploading to buddy of mine, and never broke the 60kb/s barrier. Tried couple buddies, one with a T3 and never got over 60kb/s. (never below 58kb/s though) I think I've tried all the tweaks, but none help. Called ISP back and explained situation, they rechecked modem and said definately not the modem.

If you want to go faster follow directions on my help page :)

Ok, ran Cablenut program for fast 9x. Didn't affect my upload/download, but made my browsing extremely slow.

Here's new stettings:
