The page that phil referred to got a complete overhaul a couple of days after I made that post... and was renamed to
The history of tweaking. The bit at the bottom "tweaking today" expresses my own person opinion.
I also did a brand new page
MTU and RWIN explained- Gosh just noticed that I obviously wrote that before I was maxed (which was about the 20 somethingth of April).
My opinion still stands.. I still tweaked when maxed, and it did make a difference on my connection. I was shocked to see an almost 400kbps increase by changing my rWIN.
I spent a good few hours in the early hours of the morning, testing and playing with a few settings, and on a couple of machines, before I was happy with what was best for my connection.
Best results for my maxed connection are at the bottom of the 8Mb table
http://www.kitz.co.uk/adsl/tweak2.htmFunny enough I noticed the 2 days ago that the machine I was using was untweaked, so I changed it.. and got a slight boost on speed on there too.
Must admit though now.. since more+more people have got max and speeds arent as stable as they first were in the early weeks.
In the wee small hours I have had quite a few 7.09 or 7.19Mbps results which is I think is just about the theoretical maximum.
My best ever was this one.. but it was a one off and perhaps a fluke cause its a bit more than you are supposed to be able to get. The speed test I did immediately after was 7.19Mbps.
Theres some settings to try for 2Mb connections on my page..
Tweak settingsit all depends if you have time to play and find what is best for you.
As it stands now, I'm quite happy to say that 1430 MTU works for me, and the larger RWINS seem to work. It now only takes me 2 mins to change the settings - so I do
