Test Discrepancies

Recommended Posts

Hi hope some one can help explain this to a noobie

1. I have had realy slow down load speeds on my P2P software which has led me to test the speed of my connection.

I have ran several tests from this web site and typical get the following results.

Web site test

:::.. Download Stats ..:::

Connection is:: 62 Kbps about 0.1 Mbps (tested with 2992 kB)

Download Speed is:: 8 kB/s

Tested From:: https://testmy.net/ (server2)

Test Time:: Tue Dec 27 20:27:16 UTC 2005

Bottom Line:: 1X faster than 56K 1MB download in 128 sec

Diagnosis: May need help : running at only 4.98 % of your hosts average (plus.net)

Validation Link:: https://testmy.net/stats/id-PT8IXC0G4

Basicly this say's my down load rate is crap !!!.

When I tested the speed of the connection with my ISP and the BT web test page i get these results

XXXXXXXX  and you have downloaded a 1.7Mb file at a speed of

1933 kilo bits per second (Kbps), your service bandwidth will have been quoted to you in kilo bits per second.

Your IP address is XXXXXXXX, your browser is reported as being Microsoft Internet Explorer 6.0 and is running on Windows XP.

BT would regard the speed ranges shown below as normal service:

  For 250kbps End Users speeds between 50 - 250kbps.

  For 500kbps End Users speeds between 100 - 500kbps.

  For 1000kbps End Users speeds between 200 - 1000kbps.

  For 2000kbps End Users speeds between 400 - 2000kbps. ********

which looks realy good since i have upto 2Meg connection.

:?:

So what's the truth ?

Regards

uk Phil

hey ukphil and welcome to the forum :)

speed change depend how far away from server you are, you cant get 2 Mbps all over the world

traffic and distance will slow you down, testmy.net main server is located in Texas USA, so packets has to go overseas.

but i think you should be able to go faster then that, around 1.5 Mbps would be more realistic

read the stickys in make it faster section

also make a traceroute to this site

start-run-cmd

tracert testmy.net

when done rightclick choose all and hit enter

paste all in a new post

here is one problem  "1  140 ms  195 ms  180 ms  lo0-plusnet.pte-ag1.plus.net [195.166.128.64]"

did you run any downloads/uploads during this test?

if so, close them and do a new

if not, powercycle your modem, leave it off for atleast 30 seconds and make sure all wires are not damaged or bad connected, do a new tracert

if that dosent help, call your ISP and let them check modem signals

Hi again

thanks for your patience

I have gone right through your tutorial, and only got stuck with what to do with Vanburens cablenut settings version 7.

I have used the same numbering as your tutorial.

------------------------------------

1. Windows XP Home with SP2 installed

Also the p2p fix for SP2 is installed

Bloody hell..........  :-)

just ran the test after my last post and it's much much much quicker :-)

if Vanburens cablenut settings version 7 makes it any quicker my wires will be on fire :-)

Nice one thanks for your help so far ....

try this phil, this is a PPPoA DSL connection right?

some dsl users get unstable result with AFD tweaking that my cablenut files is made for

open cablenut, click "delete cablenut tweaks" and click "save to registry"

now all fields is blank

set TcpWindowSize to 61320

now click "save to registry" again

reboot your PC

test speed again
