Hi guys, I'm living in a city named Ipoh in Malaysia. I'm currently using Streamyx ISP from http://www.tm.net.my/html/pstreamyx.cfm with adsl advertised speed 1024 down / 384 up package. I use Windows XP  home edition with SP2 . My modem is ZTE zxdsl 831 and connecting via Ethernet adapter WAN-Miniport PPPoE.

well I already did use this STICKY POST guide from VanBuren -> http://testmy.net/topic-2097
and I'm using cablenut to tweak my connection and used VanBuren's setting of MTU 1480 for adsl 1500 (because it doesn't have a setting for 1024)

Anyway, I will post again according to the sticky post made by Vanburen:

1.What OS are you running? Examples: Windows 98, Windows XP. If you have XP make sure you have SP2 installed! Also download the p2p fix for SP2 here
Answer: Yes, I've done that and set it to 50

2.Who your Internet Service Provider (ISP) is, and what the advertised speed for download/upload is.
Answer:Streamyx from http://www.tm.net.my/html/pstreamyx.cfm. The advertised speed is 1024 down / 384 up.

3.What tweaking programs you already have installed, and run this test.  Copy all text and paste it in your post! For security reasons, blank out your IP #.
Answer: I use Cablenut.

TCP options string = 020405a001010402

MTU = 1480
MTU is optimized for Windows XP PPoE DSL broadband. If not, consider raising MTU to 1500 for optimal throughput.

MSS is optimized for Windows XP PPPoE DSL broadband. If not, consider raising your MTU value.

Default TCP Receive Window (RWIN) = 31680
RWIN Scaling (RFC1323) = 0 bits
Unscaled TCP Receive Window = 31680

RWIN is a multiple of MSS

4.What speed do you have against http://testmy.net and http://nitro.ucsc.edu/ also download this Tracert and Ping program (made by php) and click on check.bat.  When it's done, copy and paste the results in your post.

5. Under your LAN connection - properties - general tab, uninstall all the protocols there that you do not need.  You most likely only need "Client for Microsoft Networks" and "Internet Protocol (TCP/IP)."  If you share files on your home network, you also need "File and Printer Sharing for Microsoft Networks."
Answer: Done.

6. Open Internet Explorer and select the Tools menu, go to Internet Options, Connections tab, click the
LAN settings button, make sure nothing there is checked.
Answer: Done.

7. Never Connect to your modem via USB ! Always connect to your modem via ethernet (NIC) and make sure you have the latest drivers for your NIC. Set your NIC duplex mode to 10mb half duplex for Cable, for DSL it depends on the ISP service unless you are using a router, if so then set it to 100mb full duplex for both Cable & DSL. If you are using a router make sure you have the latest firmware.
Answer: I'm currently using Realtek RTL8169/8100 Family Gigabit Ethernet NIC. and my Linkspeed/Duplex mode currently in "Auto Negotiation" setting. I don't know if I got the latest firmware or not. but I guess it's the latest.

8. Power cycle your modem, unplug it for at least 3 minutes
Answer: Done.

9. Download, update, and do a scan with SpyBot and Ad Aware to remove any spyware
Answer: Done.

10. ZoneAlarm firewall has known problems with dropping speed, I suggest to uninstall it and compare speed
Answer: done. nothings change.

11. Install Outpost Firewall, Sygate Firewall, or Zone Alarm.
Answer: I have Outpost Firewall Pro.

12. Scan for viruses with your antivirus app, if you do not have one get one, AVG, Avast!, and Ewido are great.
Answer: Done that. My antivirus program is NOD32.

13. Make sure you have ALL of the latest Windows Updates
Answer: done.

14.Download and run CCleaner
Answer: done that and do it everyday.

15. Go to VanBuren testmy.net Cablenut settings and install Cablenut 4.08 and Vanburens cablenut settings version 9
Answer: done that, and I'm currently using setting for xp/2k MTU 1480 for dsl 1500.

16. If you choose to build your own tweakfile with j79zlr's webpage, I suggest to leave SynAttackProtect to 0, and use a latency value between 150 and 300 ms. If your calculated TcpWindowSize is above 65535 and your webrowsing seem sluggish, i suggest to test with a TcpWindowSize and GlobalMaxTcpWindowsize that is 44 x ( your MSS value ) and change Tcp13230pts to 0.
Answer: I Haven't build my own yet.

So nice people in this forum , please help me fix the problem so that i can obtain the speed that I suppose to get. 

Thank you.

No. I don't call my ISP yet. People that use streamyx around me said their phone service is really bad. not friendly at all. always pointed at users fault like "have you check your modem?" or "maybe your  pc have problem" and they always give solution like "restart your pc/modem etc" and please call later...

So I post my problem here first, because I know there are a lot experts and really nice people here to help me finding the real cause for my slow connection.

anyway, can anyone here explain to me what is the "trace route" thing..? and what cause the timed out to occur? and how can I or my ISP solve the problem? I'm willing to learn more about my problem.

Thank you for your reply. ^_^

Ok, I already did the test and the results are:
