Speedtest and ping difference between XP & 7

[Guest]

Hi, i'm getting slower adsl2+ speeds in Windows XP compared to Windows 7. I hear windows XP should be slightly faster than 7 rather than mbps's slower.

Currently i'm using my ISPs broadband speedtest function to test between the two, It provides me with LATENCY, JITTER, DOWN SPEED & UP SPEED.

Have a dual boot Windows XP/Windows 7 system, in Windows 7 it speed tests (on average);

8ms LATENCY
0ms JITTER
17.5 mbps DOWN
.89 mbps UP

In Windows XP it looks roughly like this;

9ms LATENCY
7ms JITTER
14.5 mbps DOWN
.89 mbps UP

(similar differences with mainstream sites like speedtest.org)

Which gives me a huge difference in downspeeds, higher ping & jitter, I've tried a few things to sort it in XP;

Re-installing drivers / Trying different drivers (Realtek 8168/8111D)
TCP Half Open -> 150
Using TCP Optimizer with optimal settings
Static IP
Different cable
Spyware sweep - not one.

but i still haven't been able to get it sorted, if anyone has any ideas i'd be grateful. thank you

Actually, I have heard (but not confirmed for myself) that the Win7 IP stack has been optimized and is faster than XP.

However, what browser are you using? Is it the exact same version on each?
