Testmy.net will show you the burst values, check the graph after each test, look at the beginning of the graph, to the left, the spike if constant is the burst rate. https://testmy.net/quickstats/bender716 Click the testID or 'TID" to view a graph of each test taken.

The 'other' results you are seeing in your profile, are your results prior to signing up. I do see a windows OS used, are you dual booting your mac?

As I understand it, there should be no difference in testing at testmy.net than downloading a large webpage or file, same ports same protocol. My thoughts are the router has some unconventional routing going on. Which could be one or ten of five million. Are you able to flatten the router to factory defaults? [Saving the current config if you have a lot going on prior}

Oracle wants big bucks in a long-running copyright lawsuit. Oracle wants more money from Google. The business technology giant is asking for a total of $9.3 billion from Google relating to a lengthy legal battle over software copyrights, according to a report on Monday by IDG News Service. Oracle claims that it should receive $475 million in damages in addition to $8.8 billion relating to “profits apportioned to infringed Java copyrights,” according to court documents cited in the report. The two companies have long been at odds over whether Google improperly used so-called APIs (application programming interfaces) related to the Java programming language to create its Android operating system. Oracle ORCL -0.85% claims that Google GOOG -0.24% has not paid the company for its use of Java, which was developed by the tech company Sun Microsystems. Oracle acquired Sun Microsystems in 2010.

Although the two companies took the issue to court in 2012, a jury was unable to determine whether Google’s use of Java APIs were protected under fair use. Source

That is 'odd' behavior. I might run a few multithread tests for comparison, see what you get there.

Blast from the past. Hope everything is great with you and yours

At least they're doing more than my ISP, who refuse to give more than a 5Mbps upload, where you used to be able to buy an extra 5Mbps for a total of 10Mbps for $10/month, now, they offer 300Mbps down, with a standard 5Mbps up , no option to increase at any cost for residential.

Latin America / Venezuela http://www.conectandosuenos.com/ Could this be someplace viable for a mirror?

That is a huge oops, considering it's softlayer they lost, dare to bet there were considerably more connection unavailable at the same time. Glad it was sorted out for you.

Did this straighten itself out?

Hi peru99 I'm not sure exactly the question, none the less satellite can be volatile at any rate, your tests show typical satellite evening hour squash. Unfortunately there is likely little that can be done about this. However there are several users here at testmy.net who are well versed in tweaking your type of connection. My suggestions would be to insure there are not addons in your browser causing unnecessary traffic, (constant updating ect) and make sure there are no issues on the machine with items such as malware.

This weekend, a notice appeared on Transmissionbt.com warning users that version 2.90 of the popular Mac BitTorrent client downloaded from their site may have been infected with malware. The warning reads: Everyone running 2.90 on OS X should immediately upgrade to 2.91 or delete their copy of 2.90, as they may have downloaded a malware-infected file. Using “Activity Monitor” preinstalled in OS X, check whether any process named “kernel_service” is running. If so, double check the process, choose the “Open Files and Ports” and check whether there is a file name like “/Users//Library/kernel_service”. If so, the process is KeRanger’s main process. We suggest terminating it with “Quit -> Force Quit” Reuters reports that the infected download contained the first "Ransomware" found on the Mac platform. Ransomware is a type of malware that encrypts a user's hard drive and demands payment in order to unencrypt it. This type of attack has been increasingly popular on the PC, but this is the first time it has been seen on the Mac. According to Reuters, Apple is aware of the issue and has already revoked "a digital certificate from a legitimate Apple developer that enabled the rogue software to install on Macs." The malware in question is said to delay encrypting the user's hard drive for 3 days, so we may see the first reports of those affected as early as Monday. Transmissionbt.com offers instructions on how to see you are affected (above). If you don't use the Transmission software, there is nothing you need to do at this time. Source

I grabbed an old Fujitsu 520T laptop the other day, of course first thing I do is open it up, see what we have right. The HDD is a Toshiba HDD2517 , which is a 814MB drive Not to mention I have nothing here that connects to the pins,we've come along way. Seems to be something missing yes? lol Such as a scsi connector

Funny, I was thinking the same thing.

Samsung Electronics announced Wednesday that it is now shipping the industry's highest-capacity solid-state drive (SSD), the 15.36TB PM1633a. Samsung revealed it was working on the drive last August, saying it would use the same form factor as for a laptop computer: 2.5-in, but the drive is 15mm in height. Laptop SSDs are typically 9mm, 7mm or 5mm in height (for ultrathin notbooks). The 2.5-in SSD is based on a 12Gbps Serial Attached SCSI (SAS) interface for use in enterprise storage systems. The PM1633a has blazing fast performance, with random read and write speeds of up to 200,000 and 32,000 I/Os per second (IOPS), respectively. It delivers sequential read and write speeds of up to 1200MBps, the company said. A typical SATA SSD can peak at about 550MBps. Because the PM1633a comes in a 2.5-in. form factor, IT managers can fit twice as many of the drives in a standard 19-in. 2U (3.5-in.) rack, compared to an equivalent 3.5-in. storage drive. The SSD also sets a new bar for sustainability, Samsung said. The 15.36TB PM1633a drive supports one full drive write per day, which means 15.36TB of data can be written every day on a single drive without failure over its five-year warranty. The SSD can write from two to 10 times as much data as typical SATA SSDs based on planar MLC and TLC NAND flash technologies. Samsung said it is betting on the PM1633a SSD line-up to "rapidly become" the overwhelming favorite over hard disks for enterprise storage systems. "To satisfy an increasing market need for ultra-high-capacity SAS SSDs from leading enterprise storage system manufacturers, we are directing our best efforts toward meeting our customers' SSD requests," Jung-bae Lee, senior vice president of Samsung Electronic's Application Engineering Team, said in a statement. The performance of the PM1633a SSD is based on four factors: the 3D NAND (vertical NAND or V-NAND) chips; 16GB of DRAM; Samsung's proprietary controller chip; and the 12Gbps SAS interface. The random read IOPS performance is about 1,000 times that of SAS-type hard disk drives and the sequential read and write speeds are more than twice the speed of a typical SATA SSD, the company said. Combining 512 of Samsung's 256Gbit V-NAND memory chips enables the SSD's unprecedented 15.36TB of data storage capacity in a single drive. V-NAND, or 3D NAND, is a way of stacking NAND cells one atop another like a microscopic skyscraper. Not only does it double the density of standard planar NAND chips, from 128Gbits to 256Gbits, it also increases performance. Samsung originally announced the 48-layer V-NAND last August, saying it also sports 3-bits per cell or multi-level cell (MLC) NAND technology. Source

Did you run through the process of detecting the monitor ? I might remove the device physically, reboot the machine then plug in the monitor again.

That puts me in the same section as I accused him of, not having enough information before making a statement. I'll do it again though. For two years you've had an issue with the line, to where the issue made it to a 'very high' level tech,and he states there could be an issue somewhere else. You mentioned your router/ modem. Does Telstra supply a device for you and you've opted for this specific device, or are customers liable to produce the modem? Have they tried using an in house modem on this line?

Bada$$

I will add just this which is my observations, at the same time 'Telstra' is sending techs, and monitoring your service, they are noting fluctuations (also as seen in your graph here at Testmy.net , 'Telstra' defaults to asking about the integrity of Testmy.net. Interesting to say the least, and most likely an inexperienced tech to say that. As the first thing a tech might do, is start looking in the right place. You would not likely be contacting them , if you had no issues using your connection to begin with. Ooops. This is not attacking this network engineer, yet pure wonderment as to how your ticket made it's way to an engineer, if no one below on the food chain could figure it out. Or at the least recognize there is an issue. The answer is, it would not have made it to him if there were not an issue. Unless of course this engineer is an outsourced level tech, and looks at issues in a binary manner.

I've come to understand the fact although corporate offices generally use windows, the better part of these users don't even deal with a desktop while not at work. Now they are stuck on their handheld devices after hours. This is, and will negate Microsoft market share. Just my thoughts.

Is this where were heading? Are we getting so 'dumb' so to speak technologically , where this must be written, let alone thought of?

Lizard ladies. Alright!

User 'A' has an alloted monthly data via provider; where X=100GB/ month User 'A' sets max bandwidth for testing X=1GB/ month Testing ends as self imposed testing bandwidth cap is reached; + testing stops until user responds / changes settings.

Insanely awesome!
