- Your bandwidth is not as good as you think it is. You may be able to pull faster speeds but how long does it take to get there? It just like how most cars will do 120 mph but it's really all about acceleration.
- Not really I load up an old torrent file that i have for a 40gb file, and within 30secs my upload speed is a bit over 1,000mbs. Same thing for downloads while on a privet tracker, only takes a few moments to shoot up.
- Sending files from my home PC, located in Austin, TX, to Santa Clara cali, over VPN, hits around 300mbs upload speed.
- The upload test right now only uses a max of 33MB of data and it's a single thread.
- Yup, i saw this, I figured this was the reason the upload sucks, by the time the upload can even start, it is finished, doesn't seem like a large enough chunk of data to get a good reading on faster connections.
- Without selecting Google and Cloudflare that's 7000 Mbps of available bandwidth, much more when combined with the CDN options
- Just tried to disable those, and no luck. Mixed around with servers and not much change
I do understand how not every connection my computer makes to the world will be 1000mbs speeds. But i CAN see that when i am pushing data to dozens of users at once, i can each those numbers, so the bandwidth is indeed being provided by my ISP.
I would just like to see a 1 on 1 connection and have it actually use the full bandwidth, that is at least the feeling i get with speedtest.net, which i know, uses servers that are MADE to give you the best connection so it makes their service look good.
edit:
Funny enough, doing the speedtest.net tests to the AT&T servers, my download is under 100mbs, but to some data enters up in kansas, or washington state, it shows 700 right now. I would think AT&T would inflate my numbers, but i guess not.
