Wanted to thank peeps for posting that broadband report.

I had no real clue why my DSL was a little slower than my friend's who lives in the same town. It turns out after tweaking that RWIN value from 4288, to 5840, then to 8760 I had the following results.

RWIN 4288 217kbps down, 320kbps up
RWIN 5840 415kbps down, 340kbps up
RWIN 8760 628kbps down, 330kbps up

Advertised as 700kbps down, 300kbps up. I really suggest people check out that broadband reports website, and run those tests. I had no idea that changing the RWIN value would have such a difference.

Going to test around with this some to see if these numbers are noticeable in practical use.
