Re: New TOS / AUP: What's "high volume purposes"?
Absolutely not. I just did extensive (5+ hours) of testing between multiple hosts, and determined the situation above. You get to move about 15-20MB between yourself and any given host, at which point it cuts you off at the knees. If you like, I can open up a small window of opportunity for anyone who likes to test this theory. |

Hammonton, NJ | Wait, I thought with fios your downloads didn't matter since it was FTTH. You mean to tell me the advertised speeds are not steady state, but can get throttled back during a large download? |

1 edit | streams from the Internet to you (downloads) don't get hit until the local loop (central office) maxes out. For uploads, you get to send at the 15Mbit rate for the first 10-20MB, at which point it starts to step down your upload rate.
I've got a very pretty graph demonstrating exactly that. |

If the upstream bandwidth is stepped down to 2 Mb/sec continuously after several minutes of uploading, then the Verizon commercials advertising upload bandwidth of 20X cable are false and misleading. Someone should take Verizon to task. |

Midlothian, VA | Verizon has never throttled anything ever
I can dl from servers that do not scale back at full 30mb for over an hour with no issues.
so if you are seeing throttling its due to server side and not verizon. |

2 edits | well i just finished uploading 3 large files and had no issues; moved 3- 1GB files and 1 500MB and it never wavered..
also what QOS are you referring to in the above post...the actiontec? or verizon at the CO? as i know of many a user who has maxed their connection with no issues for the past few months...both in and out with no issues |

Brooklyn, NY | What is your maximum upstream throughput? I don't see why MERP would post such detailed observations without some data to back it up. |

| said by KCrimson :What is your maximum upstream throughput? He says 15Mbit down to 8Mbit down to 5Mbit down to 2Mbit/s holding until connection closes, and stays for 15 or 20 minutes.
Testing briefly on a 5Mb/s upload to my ftp site showed a bit of a slowdown, maybe a couple of percent) but nothing stepped like merp's performance.
I'll do a test to show a 1 GB upload to see actual performance in graphic form. |
