stb Tl Posts: 1 Mongolia | Posted - 11/25/2005 5:25:32 AM Hi! My soft CXT AC-Link modem regularly connects at 48K. Sometime at 49.2K, so that I think a phone line condition is normal. But I cannot achieve max throughput. In article "Monitoring & Determining Throughput" at http://www.modemsite.com/56k/x2-thru.asp, I see that the author's modem at 48K connection can receive with upto 50K rate. But my modem never downloads above 36K. I monitor it by Net.Medic and downloading a well compressed file from the nearest server: my ISP. Of course, downloading HTML and other text increases the modem throughput due to compression. I think may be my WinXP's TCP/IP settings are not configured optimally? The MTU of the ISP is 1500, so I didn't change my system's MTU. The ReceiveWinSize is large, above 128KB. Here's how my modem connections: Recv: <cr><lf>+MCR: V90<cr><lf>

I've tested several different modems, and most get in the range of 32-35 kbps as reported by Speedtest. A lot depends upon the ISP that I call, and every connection seems a little different. I just tested a new U.S Robotics 5660 Software Modem that I purchased for $9.95 after rebate. Speedtest reported 36 kbps which is 4.5 KBytes per second. I think the best I have seen using Speedtest is 40-41 kbps. With my Agere SV92PL software modem I need to limit the connect speed to get the best throughput. Your modem may be doing just fine at 36 kbps. Kent |
v.Richard Tl Posts: 6222 USA | Posted - 11/30/2005 11:51:35 AM Suggest taking a look at the modem's post-call diagnostics in particular to see if there are any retrains/rate renegotiations; to see if the *final* receive/xmt rate matches the intial rates, etc. www.modemsite.com/56k/diag.asp Then, you could try limiting the connect speed to slightly lower rates to see if there is any improvement in throughput/overall performance.
