Let us know what happens

There was another issue causing the cache program to not cache during its auto runs. Noticed it was working manual but not automated. Made some corrections and confirmed that it's updating now.

Do you have snow on the dish?

The program that pre-caches that information needed a restart. I manually ran it for suddenlink and the program is running through and caching the rest of the ISPs, cities and countries right now. Those stats pages used to query on demand... but it's much faster to have the server do it behind the scenes. If it sees that you've just hit the suddenlink stats page (for instance) it will order it to be queued for an immediate refresh of the data. On your end, it always feels instant. Thank you for the heads up. I'll make sure that background program is set to restart itself in the near future.

I called HughesNet to test that and it didn't sound like they would be helpful in that situation. I was saying that my relative was moving to Canada and was wondering if they'd let her out of her contract. But if it were my own real account I was dealing with I think I'd be able to escalate the call up the ladder and get it resolved without paying any termination fee. Especially if you've had service for a while. ... or if you're within 30 days you definitely won't pay anything. Keep in mind I also connected through to a sales person, not billing or retention. Might work better talking to the real department that handles that.

Unfortunately there probably isn't much that you can do. Have you already spoken with Hughes and they feel like everything is aligned properly and running correctly? If you're able to test on a computer with an ethernet connection to the router and the results are similar then the bottleneck is most likely the satellite connection itself. If you get a higher speed directly connected then I would look to audit the systems on the network for high activity. Maybe you have a computer on the network that's quietly sharing a torrent or something else using up bandwidth. Where are you located? So I can help search for an alternative ISP for you. ... I wish Starlink was operational, I think it would be a no brainer who to go with then. With as many unhappy satellite customers we've seen in these forums over the years it won't surprise me if Starlink destroys them all over night. Old direcway and hughesnet satellites doomed to silently orbit the earth for thousands of years as relics... with customers probably still stuck in contracts. By the way, if you have alternative choices available... you can probably get out of any contract you have. We'll help you find an out. Keep in mind, even as a satellite provider... they don't service the entire world. Find an area they don't service call them up and act like you'd like to transfer to an address there, "oh really, you don't have service there...I thought you were everywhere. Guess you'll have to let me out of that contract then... no, I'm not ready to forward mail there yet, I'm letting the postal service handle that later." --- I did exactly this with CenturyLink (a DSL provider) years ago. Worked like a charm. Just make sure you get their equipment back to them. How long have you had HughesNet?

Sounds like a someone with malware... but in this case Hughes has tokens. I hadn't heard of this until just now either. https://my.hughesnet.com/shop/get_more_data.pyt

I don't have Hughes but we get a lot of complaints about their speed and latency here. Do you have any other ISP options where you live?

You may have to unplug your modem for like 10 seconds and plug it back in to get it to assign to the MAC address of the newly connected device. Once it pairs to the new device you'll have to do it again if you want to switch it back or try a different directly connected device.

Cool if this is really cholla. You were still banned... but I lifted it just now if you'd like to log in. I heard a lot about the drama of you being banned but to be honest I don't really know any details. I was letting the community do its own thing at the time. Too many people had too many privileges in the end. Sign into your account, prove it's really you...

You could send them links to your averages. https://testmy.net/myaverage/miconcms You can filter the results by provider, for instance Comcast https://testmy.net/myaverage?q=miconcms&hostQ=comcast_cable I think your monthly averages are interesting myaverage?q=miconcms&hostQ=comcast_cable&var=Month Please let me know if this helps prove your case

What is it supposed to be? What package do you pay for and who is your ISP?

These are what I would consider good results. You may see toward the end that my home connection is worse than average. Makes sense since we just got 16" of snow dumped on us and everyone in my neighborhood is at home on the Internet right now.

? hahaha, I forgot about that factor. Did you know with the latency test you can test directly to most web servers outside of TestMy.net also. e.g. https://testmy.net/latency?addr=virtualracingnetwork.net (they don't use https yet so you may get a mixed content warning in some browsers but it should still work) e.g. https://testmy.net/latency?addr=s100.iracing.com&https=1 I found that you need to test against s100.iracing.com, iracing.com doesn't have a favicon which is a small common file I'm testing with. They have one but it's not stored on their root domain and it's not referenced in the page. Future versions will parse the page for alternate test resources if the default isn't available. Wow, that iRacing website could majorly use some optimizing. The front page is like 20MB... I bet if they optimized that it would cut the size 10X. There are also a huge number of requests (hundreds) could probably be cut down to 30. And many redirected requests. (how I found s100.iracing.com) Look at this waterfall (loading flow) thumbnail... holy cow! NIAGRA FALLS up-in 'ere! Seriously, I don't think I've seen a waterfall that long before. They probably have mostly high speed users but still. I found this while inspecting their page to find testing resources. It's loading at least 10X slower than it could. If you know any admins over there maybe give them a little heads up... at least that their favicon is missing. Pretty sure they want people to see this... instead of this

Awesome! Thank you for sharing. Sweet, you swooped in to take 4th place. I like the part after the race is over where you smash into the winner... coming from the wrong direction.

This is browser dependent, it will open as many connections as your browser allows. Even in older browsers at least 8 threads. As you noticed, multithread is currently only for download tests. But I have been developing a multithread upload test. This was not testing under ideal circumstances, I was seeing a consistent 980+ Mbps using the same proof of concept under ideal conditions on a 1000 Mbps uplink. The difference here is the same with the multithread download test. Behind the scenes your transferring multiple smaller files instead of one larger file.

I'm sorry for the confusion but the TiP chart is only shown on single thread download tests. I'm developing to provide that data on all results.

Under "My Results" click the TestID of the result you'd like to look more closely at. I see that many of your download tests are multithreaded. Keep in mind multithread and upload results currently don't have the same progress details.

Ouch, kinda expensive. But I guess not too bad either. That fixed wireless provider said that they'd need to check your address. If they are able to get it to you... it's very expensive. $299/month for 30 Mbps down, 30 Mbps up... unlimited transfer. Depending on how many files you'll need to transfer I guess $0.27/GB doesn't sound that bad after all.

Awesome, glad you got that figured out. How much do they charge? Here's the website for anyone else looking https://www.e-arc.com/location/ann-arbor/ -- looks like they have locations everywhere too. https://www.e-arc.com/location/

I'm calling around your area to data centers and I found one that you may want to look into. https://www.123.net/data-center/ Specifically looking at https://www.123.net/wp-content/uploads/Data-Center-Tech-Specs-DC1-WEB.pdf FIXED WIRELESS • Up to 10 Gbps Speeds (99.99% SLA) • 55+ Wireless Point of Presence (PoP) Sites Across Michigan • 128-bit AES Encrypted Data Transport • Primary & Backup Connectivity for Dedicated Internet & Ethernet Services • Emergency / Short-Term Deployments • Campus Wireless Solutions • Temporary Fixed Wireless Solutions (Events / Construction Site) Their HQ is in Southfield, MI. Only about 40 miles away. If you can't get the fixed wifi solution you may want to ask them (or other data centers near Detroit) if you could work a deal with them to upload the files for you. You could 2 day a USB to them for really cheap and it may even get to them in 1 day. I think $0.10 per GB is a fair price for both of you. But they might not want to touch your files. Hopefully you can get that fixed wifi solution, even at a degraded speed it may be better than your other options. Give them a call and get some details. I'll keep looking too. Even if you get just 5 Mbps upload it would make it more doable. 23 hours per 80GB.

Yeah, that's a 3.0 modem. They want you to get a 3.1. Try to open it up a little more with some multithread tests, I'll check up on your results in a bit.

DOCSIS (Data Over Cable Service Interface Specification) is on the cable provider's end up to the modem. DOCSIS 3.0 allows for more channels in and out of your modem at higher frequencies. DOCSIS 3.0 vs 2.0 and DOCSIS 3.0 vs 3.1. Your getting over 400 Mbps consistently on single thread speed tests here... that's amazing results. And you're telling me that you're only on a DOCSIS 3.0 modem? ... are you sure you're not on a v3.0 and he advised you that you need a v3.1? Tell me the model number of the modem you own. I don't see any multithread results in your history. Go to https://testmy.net/multithread and enable multithread, then test as you normally do. Log those results before and then again after you've upgraded your modem. But if you don't feel like spending the money right now... you're running pretty damn good in my opinion. I'd rock that connection all day long. TMN's multithread test will open (at least) 8 threads. Your current modem probably do at least 8 threads already. The test you've been running is only single thread... the best connections I use perform equally well on both tests by the way.

So are you looking for a solution to backup your existing data but don't have the upload speed to do this from your own home connection? If I'm understanding correctly, you want to go to a location, give them your files and have them upload them somewhere for you? You have 80GB files, how many of them. Do you already have a place you're trying to send them to? What is the total of all of the data you need to send.
