Broadband Upgrades

[Gonzo]

Have cable? Think it ought to be faster? try this from the PCMag Sept 01, 2000 edition-Internet Solution by Linden DeCarmo

editing the registry:
WIN95/98 -Hkey_Local_Machine\System\CurrentControlSet\Services\VxD\MSTCP-look for DefaultRcvWindow.

Win2K & NT4 -Hkey_Local_Machine\System\CurrentControlSet\Services\Tcpip\Parameteres-look for TcpWindowSize

"a receive window of 32767 usually results in the highest performance for both cable & ADSL networks"

other speeds to try is:65535(max value for DefaultRcvWindow or TcpWindowSize unless you have the Winsock2 update), 93440, 186880 or 372300. The actual Max is 2 tothe30th power, or 1073741824..


it sped up mine to a max of 3900Kb/sec.

Should I try this when I get DSL?

Does it help gaming performance any?

You could probably get some enhancement-but DSL is different from cable so try here-http://www.systemsbysteve.com/reghacks.htm and maybe www.dslreports.com

I doubt that cable will ever come to my town or that I will ever have broadband.

I tried it, it upped my d/l rate by 5-10kb...
it doesn't make THAT much of a difference with DSL
