Reasonably certain he doesn't pay for that line... That's a library or something...

We pay for this line
http://www.speedtest.net/result/1898557127.png

Can't test the other line at the moment. The machines that have the most direct access through are currently limited by some intermediary hardware that's slower than the line. Faster than this one though.

[Gremlin]

Bit of a bump, a connection we supply a customer (we're a virtual ISP along with other IT stuff).

A while ago we maxxed out the first firewall, and realised, so we replaced. I'd meant to re-wire the core network, but never got around to it and finally did a couple of weeks ago. Then slapped myself upside the head as an old 100mb switch was in between the network and the firewall (24 port with 2 active :pinch:). Removing that yielded an improvement, around 130 down and 70 odd up, but I wasn't impressed. Turned out the Vodafone server picked by default was stingy, and the 2Degrees one was more accommodating.

Kinda academic now, but not sure what's the bottleneck now... Even boss was surprised how fast it was running :woohoo:

Prior to this we had 0.09Mbps download, but a whole 0.34Mbps upload speed.

And yes - it is a wired broadband connection! Not a mobile phone, dial up or similar.

Since I went fibre, the bottleneck is now my WiFi router... I actually have to plug into the wall if I want full speed :banana: Totally recommended... including a VOIP phone line, it doesn't even cost more than my previous ADSL/phone connection!

Yeah, quite easy to have the router as a bottleneck, depending on the plan you go for, in fibre.

On high speed fibre plans, basic routers hit CPU limit (or similar). Wireless, especially in a WIFI dense area, can be problematic as well, lot of noise from other wireless networks, struggle to get good throughput etc. Hey, then lets throw in the device as well, some have crap wireless capability...

[imdying]

Yup, WiFi can definitely be rubbish... luckily I gig ported the entire house 10 years ago :D

[Blackbird]

Meanwhile, out in the wilds of Coromandel, a download of 3.45 Mbps and an upload of 0.91 Mbps :weep: . Ultra fast broadband is available to some businesses and schools but there are no plans to to extend it to domestic users on the grounds of cost. We count ourselves lucky though because Te Kouma village across the harbour from us only has 5 broadband connections available for a population of around 300. They still rely on dial-up which is basically unworkable. Mobile phone reception is patchy in the village which largely rules that out and a few have gone to expensive satellite.

Guess that's a scenario which is repeated in a lot of rural communities with no relief in sight.

Bottleneck here is the exchange up the road. Which telecom finally admitted after two years, once we got past the Pakistani make-them-go-away desk system.

I called a friend in the industry, who agreed with them. "But it's a new exchange" I said, "Replaced the old shitter just a couple of years ago". But apparently it's crap, a heap of cheap shit unfit for anything whatsoever.

So there y'go, after years of taking my money and providing shit service and outright lies they offered me a 50% discount. Which is worth precisely fuck all if you depend on reliable access for a living.

Yep, can totally believe that having had similar one-way conversations with Telecom/Chorus in the past. I'm not particularly IT-savvy but a recent visit by a Chorus contract technician in response to some problems were interesting. He told me that it is possible to speed up the data flow at our exchange but because it's old and crappy and nearing the limit of its performance, there is an artificial limit on performance so that more potential customers can be squeezed on to an already poor service rather than speed it up for the current ones. He also said that that the old 4 km long copper line from the exchange out to Coromandel Harbour where we live wouldn't sustain much more than 4 or 5 Mbps anyway and hell will freeze over before it's replaced. The penalty for not properly servicing the telecommunications infrastructure to boost profits for all those years!

[Gremlin]

A client near Lake Okareka (few km out of Rotorua) telecommutes to Auckland on a daily basis. We have the fun and delight of trying to make the situation workable...

Auckland is fibre, easy as. At the other end, EUBA (this is the normal broadband people get, Enhanced UBA) isn't available, and a little while ago our supplier stopped BUBA (Basic UBA) so with almost no-one supplying it any more it was back to Telecom... apparently the exchange might be upgraded in the next year or so... fingers crossed. Of course mobile coverage doesn't exist in that region either because of the mountains, which makes for an interesting time every time I go in there...

Another client holidayed in the same region a few years back. We had to organise a temporary dial up account :crazy: If he wanted to call me urgently, he had to go out onto the lake, otherwise he went into town once a day to collect messages. :laugh:

Oh, what you'll also see now in some regions is an unwillingness to do anything with copper once fibre has been laid... ie, if your copper has issues, noise, unreliability etc, the first advice is to move to fibre...

Aye, monopolies will do that every time. They pretend they're not, of course, but for most people there simply isn't an option that doesn't include their crap service. One of the reasons I've always avoided the advances of any other supplier, better value for money or not is that as soon as there's another supplier in the link telecom immediately blame them for any service issues, and that's the end of the problem as far as they're concerned.

Not, I hasten to add that the lack of any outside source of blame has ever caused telecom the slightest embarrassment in denying responsibility for a fault.

ADSL - asynchronous... your upload is meant to be shite.....if it wasn't your download would be shiter.

Wifi losing a 3rd of speed......likely interference. Try 20MHz channel and try channels 13, 11, 6 and 1 in that order.
Wifi attenuation is worse through metal and bodies of water. If you've got a huge hoose then try cheap powerline adapters with multiple wifi access points.

What's more important than outright speed is low latency and packet loss. In real life, most folk wouldn't notice the difference between a 10Mbps connection and a 100Mbps connection. Try running speedtest on a foreign server and you'll get a good feel for why we should have pissed away less money on domestic fiber and more on undersea cables.
