Cable Modem Drama

Update: I resolved the Java issue. For whatever reason when I downloaded the normal Java installer, Windows wouldn't recognize it. I opted for the offline version, which was a much larger file, but it ran and installed successfully.

After doing this I realized that there were many programs on this thing, though not often used, that are very much out-of-date. I went through uninstalling those not used or unimportant, while updating all those that I deemed keepers. Then I went and ran a check at dslreports.com (which now works perfectly after the Java update). I found that my upload was MUCH faster than my download speed - 200K up & about 55K down. This led me to tweak my RWIN value and also set a basic MTU allowance. I used the DRTCP program also provided on the site to make changes.

After rebooting and rechecking, my download speed is consistently running between 350-400K and upload speed is still holding around 180-200K. So, looks like after a few nights of cleanup and tweak I've finally gotten somewhere. Thanks for all the help and suggestions you guys!

See you all on the server SOON..

What cable provider do you have?? My upload maxes at like 40K =( They upped it from 30K. Stupid comcast!

Again, I'm at my folks house and this is their shit.

Anyway, it's Charter Pipeline cable. Running through an RCA USB modem. If I could format, install XP, and do a few more detailed tweaks I think it'd be much faster than what I'm getting now in terms of up/down speeds.
