MTU = 1492
MTU seems to be optimized for PPPoE... If you are not on a PPPoE connection, consider increasing your MTU to 1500 for optimal throughput.

MSS = 1452
Maximum useful data in each packet = 1452, which is equal to MSS.
MSS is optimized for PPPoE. If you are not on a PPPoE connection, consider increasing your MTU value.

Default Receive Window (RWIN) = 255552
RWIN Scaling (RFC1323) = 2 bits
Unscaled Receive Window = 63888
RWIN is a multiple of MSS
Other values for RWIN that might work well with your current MTU/MSS:
511104 (MSS x 44 * scale factor of 8)
127776 (MSS x 44 * scale factor of 2)
63888 (MSS x 44)

they capped me back in july..I was having probs connecting so i called and went thru the routine with them and they set up a tech to come out and fix. before he/she came to house i was back online...they messed with something and told my wife(i was working) that they slowed it down so i wouldn't have these probs again.
she told them i wouldn't be happy ...she's alwys right

[Lobo]

Try RWIN's of 31944 or 63888 and see if it's better :)

[laxkraap]

[Lobo]
