I just tried test....and it reported the size of Receive Window on my PC.
First it reported as the default 16384, I then bumped it to 64K and the test
reported my window as 64K.
The default on the STN box is 0, which probably means unlimited.
My speed test was 1158/347kbps. Which is pretty decent (given that I'm not
a DSL customer and I have no idea what's between me and the test site). I'm
on Roadrunner in Columbus, OH. And, I used the LA test site. Probably also
proves that there's an upload cap.
But, if you wanted to play with window size on STN, this is probably the
document that gives that would be involved.

For me, its probably too much work. Plus I've been running STN so long and
performance has dropped since they first started testing the service in the
area....I don't know if I should expect faster anymore.
Also the performance of the STN machine could be a limiting factor. I
remember when I compared two "tweaked" windows boxes, the speed of the
system also affected the speed of my connection.
