Re: [Connectivity] Extreme 50/15 but getting 10 said by Johkal:I agree. I've not looked into because it works for the majority. I just use other resources.
If you know of a web-based test that can detect and report PB and also sustained speeds, please share!

kudos:3 | Ah ok, so these are just large files to download? I have a couple of mirrors I use to do that, but this is a nice link, thanks.
I was thinking of something more like shaperprobe, where there's a flash/html5/java UI and it runs a longer test or uses udp as shaperprobe does to give an idea of PB and post-PB speeds.

kudos:5 | I wish there was a ShaperProbe equivalent. I haven't found another. I just check with large file samples. |

FWIW, I get download speeds that are off by 30 Mbps with the largest DL file there. Guess that that server does not open up multiple concurrent sockets / streams to really reveal the true capability of the pipe ? |

For speed tests with large file downloads/uploads, I use the TestMy.net site: »testmy.net/
To get past the PowerBoost effects, you can custom select test file sizes of up to 200MB on the downstream, and up to 33 MB on the upstream. |

That one seems to top out around 20Mbps for me at home (but I'll try it at some other locations)
»www.linode.com/speedtest/ works great if you open multiple saves, either the same server or around the world (which mimics real web pages and/or P2P sources) I consistently hit 37.50Mbps on Blast! during the boost phase here. |

FWIW, that site has never ever given me anywhere near accurate results for over five years now telcodad  . |

I've had that one bookmarked for a while. It's good as you say, but I don't use it. I just like simple down & dirty tests.  |

But to each their own, I guess. |

Guess that that server does not open up multiple concurrent sockets / streams to really reveal the true capability of the pipe ? A bit of a crap shoot using anything other than ShaperProbe.  Fortunately that one works for me. I have to figure this issue out.

Hello Everyone,
Ran ShaperProbe again:
-----------------------------------------------------------------
DiffProbe release. January 2012. Build 1008.
Shaper Detection Module.
Connected to server 80.239.168.215.
Estimating capacity:
Upstream: 10688 Kbps.
Downstream: 61170 Kbps.
The measurement will take upto 2.5 minutes. Please wait.
Checking for traffic shapers:
Upstream: No shaper detected.
Median received rate: 10490 Kbps.
Downstream: Burst size: 19418-19881 KB;
Shaping rate: 53237 Kbps.
------------------------------------------------------------------
My power and SNR levels ok? Should I try to improve them?
Thank you,
Monnie |

kudos:3 | I think the power a SNR you originally posted are fine.
It appears the speed tier is limited in your area to 50/10 right now so there is nothing to fix.
eventually your local plant will bump up the upload. |
