A little bit better now?

Thats what I'm screamin'

Try updating your kernel through the system: Synaptic package manager Synaptic Ready Synaptic is the software that manages the task of downloading and installing updates for your system. The software on your system is delivered as packages and hence Synaptic is also called package manager. You can launch it by any one of the following 3 methods: Synaptic Locate By clicking on Synaptic Package Manager icon in the taskbar near the left hand lower corner of your screen. By going to PC Menu (Also called Kickoff Application Launcher) at the left hand lower corner of your screen > Applications > Software Centre > Package Manager. By typing 'synaptic' into a terminal. Running Synaptic Since updating your system might require making changes to the system as a whole or changing important system files, Synaptic needs the privileges of super user or root. Hence while starting up Synaptic, you need to enter the root password first. Synaptic Scanning As soon as Synaptic starts, it scans your system for existing software and gets ready. Synaptic Reload Now you need to reload the package information to become informed about new, removed or upgraded software packages. Click on 'Reload' button. Synaptic Downloading Package Information A window labelled 'Downloading package information' will come up and show the progress of this operation. Once the download is complete, Synaptic will do another scan and get ready for the next step. Synaptic Mark All Upgrades Now click on 'Mark All Upgrades'. Synaptic Mark Additional Required Changes You will get another window with the prompt "Mark additional required changes?'. Go through the list and click on 'Mark'. Apply The Following Changes Now click on 'Apply'. You will be presented with another summary window. After going through the list, click on 'Apply' to begin the actual process of downloading and installing updates. You can expand To be upgraded and To be installed sections by clicking on the small triangle before each line. Once the process is complete you may see another window showing some output. Some of the changes effected by Synaptic might require you to either log-off and log-in again or rarely in case of kernel update etc require you to reboot which would be shown in this window. After this you may close Synaptic. If required, as mentioned above, log-off/log-in or reboot. That completes your system update. Note Synaptic Packages Not Retrieved In case Synaptic gives a prompt such as 'Not able to retrieve all packages, continue anyway?' DO NOT click Yes. Say NO and try updating sometime later. This might be because the repositories are being updated with new software themselves and only after this process is complete, you should update your system. If the message continues to appear even after a day, report the issue to the forum.

That is a Mandriva offshoot (I believe). Yet the default kernel module should be working. Have you updated the system recently? (in order to grab the latest version)

Is this a dual boot machine? What distro of linux are you using? What is the NIC model? lspci | egrep -i --color 'network|ethernet'

Read it for yourself in the TOS https://aws.amazon.com/service-terms/

Haha, sorry not funny, but geezus! Rather than adding a basic switch, dropping a line through the attic, or crawl even duct, and doing what you wish at the other end, they wanted to add a secondary drop? Do it, of course there should be no fee lol

You might want to head over to https://testmy.net/mirror and pick the California servers. You've been testing to Dallas, which is fine, but from what you are explaining, it's obvious the tests you were taking at the other place, are not telling the complete story.

How to import an existing OpenVZ container into a running OpenVZ container? Not doable as I understand. Yet there must be a way to take one virtual server dump and get it running in a completely different instance. Not having control over the HW node itself. The cruft of it all if you think it will help:

Are any of the results within your database here at testmy.net, results just after the HDD format, before installing steam and other applications?

Hi Moidcher, Not being familiar with the web interface of this router: You'll have to find where to set a subnet reservation, out of the DCHP pool range. Leaving plenty for DCHP to start with. If the default is say 192.168.1.1, the assign a pool to 192.168.1.100-254 ; this way you have ~98 static IP addresses, and ~156 for the DHCP, you could set it where you wish. Though, it appears as if this router may handle the specific reservations setting itself. As pictured below. For the second router, you could turn off DHCP, assign the second router a static IP within the range of of lose DHCP addresses on the first router (that is if you intend on accessing the second router itself for any reason after initial configuration) Otherwise, on the second router the more simply way would be to leave DHCP on the WAN set, and turn off the internal DHCP itself, and allow the first router to manage everything. On the second router, plug the cat5 into theWAN LAN, and connect this to a LAN port on the first router. Here is the manual itself: http://www.dlink.com/-/media/Consumer_Products/DIR/DIR%20850L/Manual/DIR850LA1manual041913v10US.pdf

Hey that is awesome, I read what I could find in the time I had and how they were planning on getting rid of the cap they stated after the buyout. It's great they chose to leave it open. When I was with them there was no cap, I only heard from them if I went a bit wild and popped up in there 'high percentage of usage'. Even then they never penalized me for it.

Hello Farhad, You can view your test results here: https://testmy.net/quickstats/Farhad%20Lahijhonie From there you can share results : Just click 'share' then chose which way you would like to share them: This will open a dialog with the code to copy, and paste wherever you wish: I chose 'Copy 4 Forums' : Then highlight or copy the code, and paste it into the forum of your choice.

I was just having a look at this myself Not to mention the TWC cap will certainly be costly at some point. With Buckeye, after the cap is hit, it's ten bucks per 10 gig. From what I can see, without a TWC account, they charge $1/GB over {whatever is in the contract agreement} same thing as Buckeye, if it still stands.

Everything you have said, mainly the section on removing the switch from the equation produces the same results, I would continue submitting tickets to the ISP, they will eventually respond and send a tech. Of course they will not be responsible for administering the local network, but with enough perseverance they should responsibly cave, and get someone out there.

Ah, so with or without the switch, results are ~the same? Even using different workstations / laptops what have you? If not, run: show policer

I may have missed this somewhere, what are you using to manage traffic / IP's ect. Router / firewall. I ask to see if there could be some QOS / traffic shaping going on, in any sense.

I'm looking for any reason for this other than specifically, deception, anyone? Again, unless the test is taken and strictly meant to be used by the end customer, and only to be used in a manner to verify ISP to end user connectivity.

I use it a couple times a year, for that feel good feeling, thing. However I mostly know better.

Going out on a mental limb here, what happens when this is done on three separate machines locally. I mean to say, one instance of the download per workstation. Might sound strange or leading to inconclusive results, maybe, just my way of analyzing.

The test they are using is to verify the end to end connection, within their internal networks. It has no other purpose. If hosted on [or within] their networks. Just for fun (it's all fun though isn't it) start a download of debian [http://cdimage.debian.org/debian-cd/8.2.0/amd64/iso-dvd/debian-8.2.0-amd64-DVD-1.iso] which is 3.7 gigs in IE and one in Firefox or Chrome on one machine. Monitor whatever you have which can print or render live throughput.

I would expect a bit more from that connection. At the same time, a leased line, if this is simply as stated a dedicated fiber line to your ISP, and not connecting corporate offices, that if you tested say 5, or 25 machines at the same time, the results could be reflected much the same as your seeing with one. [In other words, each workstation might achieve the same ~5Mbps at the same time another or others} Are you in a position to simultaneously test any multiple of workstations to verify?

That is the direction I was thinking as well. You could also have a look at hyjack this

In Chrome, goto chrome://net-internals/#dns and clear the host cache; Then goto chrome://net-internals/#sockets and flush socket pools Restart Chrome and test again edit: Reasoning here is due to Chrome having it's own DNS cache, sometimes this can get corrupt or other. The result will be Chrome is forced to do DNS lookups again, which happens in milliseconds at any rate.

Disable each addon or extension one at a time, and test if you don't mind it could be useful to someone else using the same thing.
