Broadband Test results Interpreation - Help Please

Just been updated ( 2 days ago) from basic 512KB Broadband - to max
adsl.
Was expecting faster than 2862kbps

is it the isp throttling, BT line problems or my problems end ? OR
should I wait until things settle down ( 10 days or so) before being
concerned.?

Where can I go for info on interpretation please.

TIA

so you have full line speed, the right IP profile and negligible
errors. Possibilities are :-

a) ISP congestion / traffic management.
b) Exchange congestion
c) TCP/IP settings.

To eliminate c) check that your RWIN value is 64k or greater at
http://www.netmonitor.org/tools/ttest.php or
http://www.speedguide.net/analyzer.php
you can change it with DrTCP.exe and similar registry tools.

a) and b) usually go away at 04:00 - 06:30 so try a speedtest then.

To differentiate a) from b) you would need to login as
speedtest@speedtest_domain which bypasses the ISP. If the result is
radically different that way to the normal way then its the ISP. See
http://www.kitz.co.uk/adsl/btwspeedtest.htm for IP address of old
speedtester if new one fails to respond (its often overbusy).

Thanks also from me. My 8Mb connection went from about 4.5 to 5.9 by
changing my RWin from 33580 to 200020.

I only live 70m from the local BT exchange :-) but having recently moved
in haven't got round yet to sorting out the very long extension which is
the only phone socket near a plug into which I can plug my wireless router.

Can you tell me how to alter the RWin settings.

go to http://www.dslreports.com/drtcp and download DrTCP.exe a small
utility for changing registry values. RWIN is top left "tcp Receive
Window".
