This is my first tutorial , i hope it helps you all.
If you're using cable broadband internet try this before anything else. It's really simple to do and it works great.

Download this simple program to edit your settings > *www.dslreports.com/front/drtcp.html ( not more then 100kb size )
1. Set Tcp Receive Window (RWIN) to 128480
2. Set Windows Scaling, Time Stamping, Selective Acks, Path MTU Discovery, Black Hole Detection to Default.
3. Leave Max Duplicate Acks and TTL Blank [Delete anything in those fields]
4. Save to Registry. Reboot.

Best of luck increasing your net speed .
I have mtnl night unlimited plan in which speedtest shows results of about 1.7mb/sec but after using this trick my speed went as high as 3mb/sec and averages about 2.4mb/sec .
check out my speed result at the following link

It really worked for me .
Let me know your results .

^^yes MTNL has introduced a new plan 256kbps UL for 999 + taxes. But mind you, the speed is capped at 256 kbps and you will not get a UPTO 2Mbps that you would be getting with you current plan. So if you are someone who downloads more than i suggest you stick to your current plan and continue you download at night. Because no matter you would not be able to download as much as you do now because of the speed cap.

My ISP is TATA indicom, and i followed the exact intsructions and still the same problem. Even at Modems Page .. its is showing

Downstream : 524 kbps

where earlier it used to show 2048 Kbps.

May be its an ISP side issue (but occured just after applying the above trick) ... nt sure ... will call them tomorrow.

Thats the one that either the TV cablewala provides, or those provided by Hathway, Sify (discontinued AFAIK), YOU Telecom, etc.

These are all marketing gimmicks .Not that the thread creator had anything to sell.However the title was mouth watering.And then as usual disappointment follows.Nothing works as promised .Noteven 3 percent of assured 30 %.

Lesson to be learned: If you want higher speeds, consider upgrading your Internet access plan. :D

Hi all,
Please refer my speed test after trying this tweak. I know my broadband speed haven't improved as I can see same download cap in my modem settings but can some one explain why speedtest shows phenomenal increase in my speeds

Even utorrent is giving same old speed but I observed 1 thing that SNR is reduced from 31 to 24 after this tweak.

Ok i was out of town for a week and hence i wasnt able to comment . I had found this trick on net and really surprised by the results and hence decided to post it since i thaught it might be helpful . This trick only removes the default cap value and optimizes your net speed which in windows is set to some default value hence the high browsing speed and not the download speed . If this trick is not working then can anyone tell me why speed test results and mcafee speedometer result are showing so high values which i have also posted .

Hi all,

Its not just speedtest , try any other online internet speed testing sites and thy will show you higher results . Also how is your browsing experience .
For people who think this thread is a trash , have u atleast verified this software throughly before commenting ?
I would feel happy even if a single person has benifited from this tweak .

Re: I am Amazed - Speed Test Results UP 300%

Hi all,

I can't believe my download speed increase,
its phenomenal at 300% Increase

im running a Toshiba LapTop, Centrino Core 2 Duo at 2.0 ghz
with Vista Home Premium.

After making the changes, im now up 300% to an
ongoing download speed of 11,628 kb/s
which works out to be 11.6 meg a second.

It shows an average of 9841, but that is only because I left my 2 original
speed tests in for the equation, which were so low, so they bring the whole average down.

i have attached the speed test so you can see the results for yourself.
the best i could get before was 4000, now today im up to the 11,628 kb/s,

Im in auckland new zealand, and even when i tried a server 7350 miles
away in Denver Colorado in the US, and i still had a download speed of
9492 kb/s (9.4 meg a second)

when i first did the test, i did it on a local isp here in auckland, and my speed was even higher at 14,500 kb/s, I am just blown away buy the increase.

NOTE: Also if you look at the summary against my isp and the new zealand average, where the orange bars are, i am 3 times higher than all of them,
and 2 1/2 times the Global Average, thats amazing.

once again thanks heaps.

Cheers KiwiKev :)

I would second that. If you are loosing upload speed for a few Kbs increase in Dl, its not worth it.

Hi Rohan,

Im using Vodafone Broadband in Auckland, NZ
and since then i have checked my speed on other SpeedTest sites
on various days and times and I am consistantly getting 11,600 kb/s (11.6 meg/s )
one site as I mentioned i got to 14,500 kb/s

before this i was only getting between 900 and 4000 kb/s so im wrapped
with the speed increase.

rohan, thanks again

Cheers KiwiKev
