Hi,
I'd like to know if there is an optimized sysctl configuration that i can use to optimize a 512 down 128 up connection. i've been checking out different sites with differing values, done some research and even tried tweaking it on my own.

I ask because i've found when downloading updates from the server or using apt-get, i notice that the speed often drops down to bytes then back up to a reasonable 45-70 k down.

my ISP has a local monopoly and i have been doubting the integrity of their 512 down claim. i have yet to achieve consistent 100+ k down.

I'm not really interested in any speed test site. i just want to tweak a few settings hopefully and get the optimal package size for my connection speed and maintain a steady bandwith.

ALso if you know of any other Buntu tweaks or quality links for networking speed tweaks, i'm all ears/eyes...whichever....

Thanks Guys...
