Has any in this thread ever tried MTUSpeed?  It's a great little utility
that almost always increases through-put.  I've used it for 1.5 yrs.,
now without a hitch.
It works by increasing/decreasing packet size.  + it does a bunch of
other techy stuff.
Just back-up the registry before you make any changes. check out the FAQ
here at:

Currently, it is shareware that doesn't ime out . . .
