They say the optimal MTU value for cable is 1500. Some adsl providers recommend lower values, i read an article that suggested some Nildram providers mentioned the optimal MTU was 1458 for their service.

Are there any benefits to using lower MTU values like this on cable? E.g. more reliable data transfer... this was one thing mentioned for adsl users.

TIA
