Change the Maximum Transmission Unit (MTU) Size
By optimizing the MTU setting you can gain substantial network performance increases, especially when using dial-up modem connections.
MTU stands for Maximum Transmission Unit and in basic terms, it defines the maximum size of a packet that can be transferred in one frame over a network.
Open the registry and find the key below. Add a new value, or edit the existing value, to equal the new MTU size. For modem connections a MTU of '576' would be a good size.
Key: [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\CurrentControlSet\Services\Tcpip\Parameters]
Value Name: MTU
Data Type: REG_DWORD
Data: Default = 0xFFFFFFFF
