I got a few different RWINS from Lobo and proceeded to test them this morning (yes speakeasy came back up for me :p). What I noticed is that the numbers don't really vary all that much, when averaged out, 50kbps tops.
I tested 6 different RWINs (51100, 64240, 256960, 513920, 522680 and 524176). I ran 3 speed tests at speakeasy off the Chicago server and averaged them out. I assumed that they would slowly improve till I reached my optimum RWIN then start going down when I passed it up. In reality they jumped all over the board on me. One test would show 1400 down then the same RWIN would re test at 800 down (yes I cleared the cache and crap between each test). Last night at around 5:00 PM EST 51100 tested the fastest, then this morning at around 4:30 AM I got 256960 as my fastest one. Needless to say, I'm confused here.:confused:
Is there a second type of test I could use to get a better feel for what's happening here or is this just the "nature of the beast". I can see minor improvements here and there but can't seem to nail down what my best RWIN is due to the tests varying a lot. Any advice on a second test I could do for each RWIN to nail it down?
