CNET editors' review
Reviewed by: CNET Staff
This well-designed program tests and improves your Internet connection speed, but it needs an experienced operator.
SG TCP Optimizer's compact, tabbed interface logically presents all settings and tests. We found SG TCP Optimizer efficient from the moment it quickly opened. The six tabs presented general and advanced settings, a tool to discover your system's largest possible nonfragmented packet, a calculator to figure your RWIN value, a latency test, and a quick Windows Registry editor. If you have no idea what those settings do, this program isn't for you. If you do have some experience, a short tutorial helps you quickly discover and enter the proper Registry settings to improve connection speed.
Settings are easily saved in backup files, making it easy to try different settings and revert if you accidentally slow connection speed. The help file gives basic information, although it's nothing a system administrator doesn't know.
Novices, on the other hand, shouldn't bother with this application. Its many settings, though easily changed, could cause serious system slowdowns if improperly altered. System administrators and advanced users will love this freeware's small size, powerful functions, and helpful tests.

Version: SG TCP Optimizer 2.0.3
Pros: I'm a beginner here, so I didn't really know how to use this program at first. But the website has a user guide on it.
Or, if you can't be bothered to read it, it can automatically configure the settings for you (but you have to give them your maximum bandwidth speed - CNET has a bandwidth checker).
Webpages load noticably faster now.
Cons: Not beginner-friendly.

Version: SG TCP Optimizer 2.0.3
Pros: User interface is clean and spyware free!
Cons: This program made very little difference in download/upload speed. It's not very intuitive and can be quite confusing to the novice user.
