"What does it do?"   It optimizes the communications parameters.  Your
friend should install it and make the optimizations.  If it doesn't help,
then he can go back to the ISP and say "there's still a problem".  More than
likely the ISP is having some local cabling or equipment issue but he needs
to prove that his PC is properly configured first.

Subject: [PCBUILD] TCPIP Optimizer

A friend is complaining of his internet connection running slowly in the
last couple of weeks.  He called his cable ISP and they had him go to their
site and run a speed test.  The results were fine.  They also told him he
should go to www.speedguide.net and install a "tcpip optimizer".  I went
there and really can't figure out where it is and what it would do.  What
does it do and is it worth installing?

Thank you,

Marilyn Wuilson
