Visit http://www.dslreports.com and apply their MTU tweak also. This added an
extra 200K to my link. Like you the receive window also added extra oomph.

Glad the tweak worked for you. Just a word of advice - if you have a
Residential DSL account with FastAccess, I don't recommend running more
than one PC on the single connection; their Network Sysops run "network
sweeps" to check what IPs are being held by which hardware (MAC)
addresses; if they see more than one MAC address on a single IP, or
more than one IP from a single location, your account can be
temporarily disabled; but if more than 3 instances are logged, your
account is gone for good, and your DSL line provisioning taken off. If
your line qualifies, you can convert to a Small Business account for
$15 more per month, and have as many PCs on a single connection as you
like.

Whoa, careful!  This is very misleading.  First of all, I highly doubt they
run "sweeps" but if they did, they could NEVER see more than one MAC
address on a single IP.  This is not how NAT or TCP/IP works.  If you are
getting this info from a help desk rep (it has happened!) they are sadly
misinformed, or are purposefully spreading bad info.

Running multiple PPP sessions from one location is not supported but
currently they are not enforcing it.  If you attempt to run more than 3, it
will not allow you to connect, but your connection is NOT rendered
inoperative.  These policies could change in the future, however.

BellSouth allows "in house/family" sharing of connections, as long as the
network isn't misconfigured so that it broadcasts local traffic or massive
pings, etc, across BellSouth's network, or highly overuses bandwidth.  Read
the Terms and Conditions:

Thanks Randy you said it better than I could have.

You can use a home router, such as the Linksys BFSR11 if you already have a
home network and want to share a DSL network connection using only one IP
address. The router has a DHCP server in it that assigns each PC in your
network an IP address that is invisible to your ISP. The only IP the ISP
sees is the one for your router.

Also, everyone on this group is either running a home LAN and sharing
connection, or trying to. Never has this caused a problem for anyone as
far as BS is concerned, at least that has been reported. (DHCP broadcast
spamming notwithstanding pre secure ARP).

Actually, if you read the Terms & Conditions at the link John posted,
it is worded in a way that indicates that Mom can logon the computer
using username "family", and that later on Dad can logon using
username "family" as well.. that everyone in the household doesn't need
an individual username to use the internet. It doesn't say that Dad can
be on one computer, and networked to Mom's computer, so that they're
both on the connection with two computers. No, nuh-uh, no way.
Networking is NOT supported on Residential FastAccess - if you call
Tech Support, they'll ask you to take a machine off the network so they
can troubleshoot it. You'll also find that you'll usually be asked to
remove any network bindings (netBeui, IPX/SPX) that aren't used in
conjunction with Residential (read: single-user, not on a LAN)
accounts. If you wanna run a LAN, at home or whatever, you must have a
Small Business account.

Trust me. :)

Read the definition of 'support' please. This is it, trust me ;) Also, I
believe your interpretation of the AUP differs from the guy who wrote
that wording (or at least insisted it be included).
