Please log in for more thread options Hello My Verizon DSL download speeds on my DESKTOP is poor, peaking at only 30K max! However, on the SAME DSL router, via a wireless connection on my LAPTOP, the LAPTOP has a minimum of 200K. I'm no genius, but, what setting(s) on the desktop do I need to adjust to download at the 200K rate?? Thanks.....Regards, John | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||

Please log in for more thread options Are these "K" measurements kilobits per second? Kilobytes per second? Or, most likely, one of each? DS | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||

Hi David, Yes measurements are usually made in K meaning 1000 bits or bytes. When talking serial communication usually in bits. I use the following test for DSL speed; http://www.speakeasy.net/speedtest/ . With the advertised speed of 1500 k I get 1280 k down and 380 k up. Run the test and report your speeds for both. When you use the tweak test you should use the advertised speed usually 1.5-6.0 m for mega or 1500-6000 k. The tweak test wants it in k. Patrick >

You might try this url for tweaking your desktop; http://www.broadbandreports.com/tweaks You may need the latest Java aplet as whell as another downloadable program that actually does the adjusting. Follow the instructions and checkout the FAQ's. Patrick >

Patrick.....OK, I'm updating Java now. Also, ran the tests/tweeks prior to my posting, and it reported that my speeds up/down were 200K+. And, I did Dr TCP and adjusted my MSU to 1480....still slow downloads on just desktop (laptop next to me is blazing). John > Hi SKCS,
