MTU should be 1500 for cable, and I think 1476 for DSL. But the parameter that makes the biggest difference for broadband is the
"TCP receive window".


Where is that key to be found, please? I am not a Reg. wizard and searching turned up nothing here.


Try setting it to a very high value.


Approximately, how high?

And what would the default value be like?


Good luck, jimbo

You need a utility such as DrTCP or Tweakmaster. My Win TCP Receive Window is set at 256,950.

Good luck, jimbo
