There's a discussion on this issue. Try experimenting with differant rwin values, even down to 25k or so. Some people are saying on dslreports forums that high rwin will help laggy sites but will slow fast sites transferring to you. So play around with it.Originally posted by: kindest
whoever recommended Dr. Tcp thanx.
my download is averaging at 625K now.
I set my receive window to 151008 after the dslreport recommendation.
too bad my upload wont go higher then 60K but hey i cant complain.

Yes, but you say in your post that the deal is only in CA and that its not direct from SBC, it's with sonic and dslextreme. I was first hot deal post AFAIK about the SBC official dealOriginally posted by: Anonemous
w00t beat your post by 2 weeks.
Original Post
But yea, if you didn't know, some of the DSL LINES for SBC/DSLEXTREME/Sonic.net are currently active days before activation. So if you already received your modem plug it in and see if you get sync.
Currently running at 4120/512 speeds as of yesterday!
Is that what they told you? Or are you guessing? Because they've been telling everyone that it takes up to a week from date of call. And so far only a very few who ordered on Monday when deal started have gotten upgraded. I think most success stories you will hear this weekend and next week.Originally posted by: Reikon
I called again and was able to successfully go through this time. Changed my service in under 10 minutes. About 7300 ft from CO. It should be converted in a couple hours.That link doesn't talk about that. You are taking it out of context, let me paste some comments from that thread:Originally posted by: Anonemous
What dsl modem are you using? I heard on dslreports that speedstream 5260 (the one i got from dslx) can't handle the full 6Mbps. I wonder if that's true...Originally posted by: NightCrawler
5.2 megabits down and 500 up .......it's good to be close to the RT !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Link to postNotice he said he THOUGHT the other guy said this. But he didn't, they were talking about getting speed stats off of modem. I.e. find out exact sync rate from modem (some modems can tell you this info and even what condition your lines are in, like noise levels). And the poster implies that he knows that know since he admits his mistake and says he THOUGHT the other guy said something.I have a SpeedStream Modem, is there anyway to get into this thing to see any stats on it?
You can't get the max rates using the Speedsteam modem. Only if it's an older 5360 with a very specific model number and Enternet 1.5b can you even get the sync rate.
The FAQ describes the modems/routers that can see the max rate.
If swilliams is refering to the Ameritech FAQ its not all in one FAQ. Generally if your modem is also a router it will have "line stats".
I didn't mean line stats since my Westell is capable of that. I thought he was saying that some modems are able to use the full capacity of the sync speed while some aren't.
Am I a nitpicker? Yes
hehe it's all good now. Getting almost 5000kbps so I'm happy it wasn't the modem/line/splitter problem. Looks like my speed ramped up almost 120k/sec from last night (getting 3125-4000kbps last night).

And I'm that poster but the best deal is really $44.95 from www.sonic.net... I'm getting the full 6Mbps/608kbps, 4365 feet from the CO in San Francisco. sonic.net includes unix shell account, 8 static ip's and it's $44.95 actually dollars. SBC's offer has a $2-$3 tax.

But that price only lasts a year.

I'd do this, but I'm worried about this in their terms:
"Offer requires a one-year term agreement. After the expiration of this term agreement, the then-current month-to month or applicable term price will apply.
Their current month-to-month fee is $139.95!
who are "the ASI guys"?Originally posted by: pipeliner1
Thats what they told me, but the ASI guys said its a screw up on there side. If you call and renew your contract before the year is up you stay at the same price.Originally posted by: GtPrOjEcTX

I wouldn't worry about it. You are talking about an additional 60ish kbyte/sec download on top of your 600+ kbyte/sec current rates. I'd say if you are hitting 600 KiloBytes per second download you are doing dang good as it is. (keep in mind there's a 10%-15% tcp and dsl overhead).Originally posted by: svtour1
is there anyway to get that number higher, so i can get 6 down?
Comcast is 3.5mbit down for $20 a month in your area.Originally posted by: Drango
I'm in the SF East Bay (Walnut Creek area) and I just put in my order for the $44.95 rate which saves me $5 bucks a month and should increase my speed which has been about 1.2mbs. The told me I was just under 8,000 feet.
I think the $20 price is only for 3 months, or maybe 6 months. Whereas the $45 price for SBC DSL is supposedly for even after the year is up. And of course you should go comcast if you want invisible total giggage bandwidth caps, where if you go over them they kick you out.Originally posted by: Sifl

I would check the usual stuff, make sure your connection is properly tweaked (use tools from dslreports) and make sure filters are on every line, etc.
Ok, my choice. The "invisible limit" is 100gb a month. I don't have to maintain a $15/mo landline that I don't use and the $20/mo fee is renegoitiable. I've had it for over a year now.Originally posted by: Devistater

Your choice
The 100 gig is not confirmed since comcast wont give any official numbers. It could be 50 gig or 20 gig. Comcast wont tell you. But since it works fine for you so far, you might as well keep it. For me, the land line is my primary phone so I need it anyway, and I dont get cable TV, so I couldn't get even the $20 price, even if I wanted to give up my current speed and no giggage caps. So SBC fits me better. Different strokes for different folksOriginally posted by: Sifl

He either gets 6000, or it drops to 3000 there is no inbetween for the,
