Tweaking DSL

[jman01pa]

What can you do to tweak a DSL connection for better performance. I ran a dedicated line from the phone box to my DSL modem. Any other suggestions? I would appreciate any feedback.

Thanks ck42866!

That looks like a great site. What does the "verbose" check box mean. Without it checked I get great results but with it checked I am reccommeded to boost my MTU to 1500.

When you have verbose checked, it appears to to run you through the sequences step by step and then posts the final result.

Without it checked, all you get are the recommended results. Also try the speed test at the same site to see any improvements.
