definitely not. Was there for the whole install, never use any of the ISP rec. software. as you can see, if the file is coming via the interwebz, (non p2p) the speed(s) are fine.

Couple things. On the top right, make sure your "MultiThread" is enabled. Also, Check out this link:

Verizon admits they do. ? Its no secret. They have what they affectionately call "priority tiers". This is speed dependent on local usage and saturation percentage. I found this out when i purchased my 5G phone a little over a year ago and was getting shit speeds, trouble streaming videos, Facebook etc. After buying the phone on monthly pmnts, the added insurance, & accessories,i noticed the speed was quite slow. 500kbs at times. Most times that is the speed i get at work. I called them and they were like " oh yea, you are on the tier 3 plan.. the lowest priority traffic (480p is how they describe it) For 5g phones you need the 5G plan (1080p +)" I was like "Ok..." than they wanted now ANOTHER $35 a month! They NEVER explained that when they sold us our 2 phones for $1800 ? Cant do it man. Already paying over $230 a month for 2 phones! Cant / Wont pay another $35 So for now, I just deal with my grossly overcharged "5G" cell phone that ill never see 5G on..

old pic but accurate XD

I'm not sure what your asking. what is scp? I'm not sure how to be more clear. If i am trying to upload files, large or small, to lets say to google drive, or Facebook, or lets say im doing a speed test, I will get 100% of my speed; 1g/1g Via the "internet" its no problems If I try and use any p2p programs, apex dc++, or qbittorent, uTorrent, ANY p2p program really, it will limit my upload speeds to 250. Whether transferring these files to someone in Arizona, you, or even MYSELF to my other PC in the same home, on the same network, if its p2p, it will throttle it.

I mean, i dont know about "infiltrating" , lol.? I'm assuming it's the ONT that monitors/ throttles the apps or ports. cause it's factually not the router. All i know is whether im sending you a file, or sending it to my other pc on my network... the speeds are throttled/shaped. Will not exceed 250 mbs (for any sustained time , a bit over with burst of course) Unless its a web transfer, like google drive or facebook or ftp, speed test etc.

Well on a gigabit connection, ideally 2 pc's on the same network, in the same facility should pretty much be able to utilize somewhere close to "gigabit" speeds. As you can see from my prior posts' attachment, that isn't the case. Frontier limits "file sharing" and "p2p" im guessing programs or ports to 250. Whether im sharing to the general public, or trying to transfer files to my own networked PC's... If its limited to 250 MAX. Now if it goes through 8080 , or im assuming 80, ( like for speed tests or ftp, uploading to google drive etc) it'll "max" the connection. P2P, Direct Connect, Torrent, TeamShare, Remote Desktop, etc. All limited

Well it appears Frontier throttles not only incoming data from outside the network, but even data on my OWN network; From my gaming rig to my server on the SAME network is limited. ?? unbelievable.

Yes sir. qbittornet & utorrent. same results. Check out this uniformity: If I pause all other uploads, the top one will jump to the "max" speed of 23 MbiB/s and hold there.

ok i went ahead and did what you suggested. I moved one of the more popular torrents to the SSD. I made it the only torrent running. Results are exactly the same. Hits the same speed and stops dead. Interestingly enough, when I re-engaged the other torrents, that one died and its now spread the speed over all 12 torrents, at the same exact speed.. That sounds like throttling and shaping to me. I'm fairly certain that's the case now. It's literally almost holding solid at the same exact speed as it did on the other drive. @CA3LE

maahhnnn... ? Trust me. i know where your at. We've had alot of dogs over the years.. at one point 7 at the time. Its always tough having to make such a decision. Personally, i think spending the last few months / years with him would be the best route. You are correct, the sugary would be 50/50 and 90% of the time it spreads more rapidly afterwards. I've had 3 dogs with cancer. 2 got surgery and they died very shortly after. 1 we let go ( it was behind his left eye) for years. Years before we put him down. He was in 0 pain, but it had gotten into his brain causing nosebleeds. That was tough. Very tough...he wagged his tail all the way down to the very last minute. Like he knew. He was 14 years old, but still acted and felt like a puppy. It is also hard on the other dog(s) when one doesn't come home. its unavoidable. After a short while, we usually went down to the rescue and adopted another, to keep the other company/companionship. It's never feasible to put yourself or family in jeopardy tho, that is for sure. Especially for a second time. Pups had a good, long life.... as long hard as it is, you have to say goodbye sometimes. Its for the best on all parties.

@Sean I closed down all 3 P2P apps to take that test, interestingly enough when I reopened all 3 apps, the speed once again jumped EXATLY to 20->23 mb/s (185ish mbit) no passing it. Feels like a throttle to me.

@Sean 222.72 MB/s is over 1gbit

VPN's are notoriously slow. You will not get any kind of good speeds via a VPN most times.

Damn bro.. ? Im so sorry to hear that. I wish i was in a position to help, cause i surely would. Covid has hit hard financially for me as well, and with 4 (adopted) dogs of my own and daughter... There's just not much left. I hope the best for you, thats tough

hi.

Thanks for the reply! I would also agree other than the fact the hard drive isn't overloaded as far as i can tell.also, when downloading on torrent i can (almost) max my 1gbit connection... so if the wright will handle it, id assume the read can do the same I'll post specs to the drive, maybe you see something i dont. Im no expert with hardware by any means, but i feel it should handle it? Also, the torrents = 742gb.. my SSD is not that large lol. Tech Specs Specifications are provided by the manufacturer.

(att: @CA3LE) Ok guys. let me run by something with you. I am far from new to networking, as most of you OG folks know. Here's the problem im running. into. Frontier Communications is my ISP. (fuck frontier btw) - I have a fully symmetric 1Gbit plan & I'm thinking, almost guaranteeing that Frontier is throttling P2P programs. The reason i say this, is because my content server is currently running 3 main p2p programs. Running Windows Server 2019 Datacenter Edition. It's literally its only job. Core i5, 8Gb ram, SSD main, 12Tb WD ultrastar Helo Server edition content drive. It's running top 10 most popular torrents in the nation at the moment (via qbittorent client) , Apex dc++ , & SoulSeekqt. The server currently has 5TB of media being shared (and climbing) over the 3 p2p programs, 24/7, 0 bandwidth throttle on any program. The amount of connections, the amount of uploads going simultaneously etc is all irrelevant. The content being shared is a variety of things from music, anime games movies etc. It's all items people want, & the uploads never stop. It's a constant barrage of uploads, so it's not like people aren't interested. Issue being, is not matter what i do... the upload speeds will never exceed 250Mibit. I've tried limiting the connections number thinking the router may be overloaded, no help. I've tried opening up the floodgates with thousands of connections, no change really. now again, this is only on p2p, all running simultaneously, or separately, no change. I literally can take speed tests ann max the connection upload and download. i can upload or download from my google drive and max the connection, upload and download. P2p on the other hand, i can max the download, but never the upload. Granted, i've also tried multiple PC's running the same p2p programs @ the same time as the server, and they will fight each other for bandwidth. i've also plugged directly into the ONT, and took the router out of the equation altogether, same results. So... what do you guys think? Is there something im missing? Is it just being ISP throttled? Any ideas? Feel free to ask any questions i may have not covered. Any help would be vastly appreciated.

Good luck.

@TCas125 That's look much better If you have any questions let us know!
