slow internet speeds

Test1 comprises of Best Effort Test:  -provides background information.

    IP profile for your line is - 2500 kbps

rebooted router an hour ago so will watch it carefully and thanks lance

That sync looks much better! As Rik says, should just be a case of waiting up to 5 days now. 

[Sebby]

It looks like things have returned to normal. Keep an eye on sync. It'll be a few days before the profile catches up.

thanks to all ,  you definatly know your onions ,things seem to be returning ro normal .

[Rik]

I'd hope for a bit more from that profile, Stirling, but you're not far off now. 

[Sebby]

Have you tweaked MTU/RWIN?

[stirling]

i havent tweaked anythin. it wasnt me , i didnt do it, maybe it was him next door, .........  sorry sebby i havent done anythin except speed tests, mainly because i wouldnt know where to start

I meant it in that you should try tweaking if you haven't. Don't worry, you're not in trouble.

[Rik]

Yet...

Yes, don't touch anything without our permission, Stirling! 

[stirling]

Well, unless your exchange is badly congested, Stirling, you may benefit by tweaking MTU & RWIN (not applicable if you're using Vista).

[Sebby]

What Rik said. Throughput is looking a little on the low side for the profile, so it's definitely worth tweaking.

[stirling]

still not sure if ive "tweaked " correctly but lookin better so thanx guys

[Rik]

What values are you using for MTU & RWIN?

[Sebby]

still not sure if ive "tweaked " correctly but lookin better so thanx guys

That looks more sensible. Run another test this evening - it may, of course, be exchange congestion.

[stirling]

seems if i want to use internet at 5 am i get best results, as for mtu & rwin im not sure what theyre set at

[Rik]

It points to exchange congestion, but did you try using either of the tools listed here? They will tell you your current settings (the router should be set to an MTU of 1500).

i dont know if im doing it correctly rik but if i ping bbc with 1430 bytes i get a reply of

Is this what i should be looking for? im afraid all this is way over my head

[stirling]

have now done as suggested and reduced the value by 2 until i got to 1318 and this is the reply

[Sebby]

Try this - it should be clearer.

[stirling]
