thomasrelee Posted October 3, 2011 CID Share Posted October 3, 2011 I've been conducting speed tests using your service for a while now. I would use various services to check my speed and also participate in the SamKnows Broadband testing - all speed tests used to agree with one another from service to service, with the exception of speedtest.net - which always shows results inflated by PowerBoost. I fully understand the technical aspect involved, including peak hours congestion of the Internet and other issues that can affect measurements. On September 27, my area completed upgrades with Docsis 3.0 and was far enough along with the upgrade, they went ahead and bumped the speeds up for the lower Standard and Turbo tiers. I subscribe to the Turbo Tier, which was 10 mbps, and after the bump in speed, the tier is now rated at 15 mbps. Since this upgrade, I have never been able to consistently test up to the 15 mbps full speed of my connection against specifically testmy.net. I have run HTTP tests, FTP tests, Java Tests, Flash Tests, etc - and do not seem to have many problems with testing from any service except this one. I do not understand where the problem is. A quick snapshot of what I have here: - A brand new (six-month old) RCA DCM425 cable modem provided by TWC. - A Linux firwall/router running ClearOS using an Intel d510mo Atom system I threw together with 2GB RAM and a 500GB HD. .....- feeding into a TrendNet 1Gbps switch with the following connect to the switch: ..........- Two PC's, ..........- One SamKnows testing device (operating in bridge mode, with nothing connected to it directly) ..........- and a Vonage adapter connected to this switch. - All connections are using CAT-6 I first realized I was not running QOS on the Linux firewall/router, and had an idea to turn it on and see what would happen. Once I did this on September 27, I started being able to test to my maximum line rate of 15 mbps against testmy.net. Though I do not understand why this would have any effect on anything - it should not. What was weird though, is when I would turn off QOS, the tests would indicated lower speeds, and when I turned it back on, it would indicate full rated speeds. All of this occurring on September 27 - 29. Once I started receiving results that were steady and satisfactory, I left QOS on and called it fixed. A few days passed and I come back to check speeds again - now there is nothing I can do to even come close to 15 mbps. Again, traceroutes are not showing anything wrong. I even took and directly connect my PC to the cable modem and the results were still low (6 - 10 mbps for a 15 mbps connection). These tests were conducted repeatedly night and day Oct 1 and Oct 2 I did not record the PC's connection ID or log in for the direct connected tests, but I am fully aware of the connection ID running my normal setup. It is 160470957976. I have no other problem with any one speed test not showing my connections maximum rated speed - even during peak hours. A quick history on my connection... Up until July 14, 2011, my connection had been running horrible for 10 months. A combination of a congested cable node in addition to other things the cable company was doing wrong were to blame. It was finally resolved and everything has been smooth sailing until now. I first though - great, my cable company has screwed up the connection again, but it is not - and is only with connections to testmy.net I am experiencing problems. It is odd and I am curious to know what is going on here. I love the testmy.net service, but it does not currently love me for some reason. I suspect it is a peering problem, and not on TW's part... Every where else I honestly have no issues. Below is a traceroute I run multiple times during a speed test I performed before hitting POST. I do actually see several problems in these traceroutes between hops 7 & 8 where hop 8 spikes close to or over 200ms: 203.466 ms 186.419 ms 186.297 ms 53.254 ms 241.074 ms 241.300 ms 236.022 ms 220.118 ms 220.042 ms Again, these traces were run while I was running the actual speed test. Validation Link:: https://testmy.net/db/6BeiOJf There is even one trace below that indicates a spike between hop 6 & 7 of: 29.847 ms 172.769 ms 172.683 ms These traceroutes are run directly from my firewall/router, so they start reading hop one at my cable modem's gateway address and not the IP of the connection...

mudmanc4 Posted October 3, 2011 CID Share Posted October 3, 2011 Iv'e been working on the same issue for a while now myself. Much of my traffic is routed through D.C. before heading to it's intended destination. Not as rule. None the less , I'm on a 50/3 connection and have issues much like yourself. It's been this way for roughly 18 months give or take. Don't quote me on this , because it's merely speculation, I believe the countries networks have been divided in some way on a large scale , possibly for security reasons. And there simply not finished re routing traffic properly due to this filtering. Or cannot find a sane way to detect the type of traffic there looking for. Again just speculation. At least what I gather is four major sectors , quite possibly five but you have to take notice at Limelight networks as well in california ( hosting Groupon , Netflix , I believe MLB network just to name a few biggies) , divided at the Mississippi , somewhere along the mason dixon line longitudinally , leaving california and upper USA , somewhat resembling the map below. Again I'm reaching here , but something is def up ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CA3LE Posted October 3, 2011 CID Share Posted October 3, 2011 i think chicago would be another good location, they have very well developed datacenters there thats the 2nd best location in the US that i can think of I was thinking the same thing. It's a big expense but I think it's about time to add another server. I think having a second location to another major internet hub will clear up ANY confusion about route. I only use dedicated servers, so I'm sorry that I haven't put more online yet. But if you want the quality of test that I strive for you HAVE to go dedicated. VPS doesn't cut it, too many variables from other people on the server... makes for a very bad platform. The way that I do it is more expensive but it ensures that no BS is bleeding into the results. ---- I can guarantee you that the other guys don't care as much about stuff like that. I could have put 100 shitty VPS servers along time ago. Trust me, I explored the idea and it's well within the sites budget but I feel it's not the right way. The only way to be sure about the variables is to have full control over them. Dedicated... and then if you go dedicated you might as well get at least 8 cores, dual gigabit... etc. I kinda want to just order it up... I've been thinking about it for a long time. hummm Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CA3LE Posted October 3, 2011 CID Share Posted October 3, 2011 Here's the bandwidth to the various datacenters I work with http://www.softlayer.com/advantages/network/carriers Washington D.C. has some sick bandwidth... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mudmanc4 Posted October 3, 2011 CID Share Posted October 3, 2011 4x10 Gbps , nothing to scoff at. Order it up and have them run dedicated fiber to the north side of my house YEA , I know it's gigabit , amazing Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CA3LE Posted October 3, 2011 CID Share Posted October 3, 2011 ... I'm just waiting for them to get the new server online. I got it in D.C. -- they have PoP through Chicago but no datacenter. They just opened datacenters in Amsterdam and Singapore so after I get this configured we'll see about opening up some stuff for the folks over seas. ... it will take me some time to get this configured.

mudmanc4 Posted October 3, 2011 CID Share Posted October 3, 2011 I've been waiting for this for a long time dude ! Not only that , I believe you just made a vital move towards the expansion and social trust of testmy.net ,imo , you could not have made a better move , and D.C. to boot !

CA3LE Posted October 4, 2011 CID Share Posted October 4, 2011 This new server I'm setting up is sweet https://testmy.net/st...=25&z=8&q=CA3LE Just messing around in VNC before any real configuration. I've been waiting for this for a long time dude ! Not only that , I believe you just made a vital move towards the expansion and social trust of testmy.net ,imo , you could not have made a better move , and D.C. to boot ! I'm already planning Amsterdam and Singapore after I'm done configuring this one. I worked a deal with my host. So folks in Europe and Asia will be happy to hear that.

CA3LE Posted October 4, 2011 CID Share Posted October 4, 2011 right on man, DC Dallas So weird that you'd have a routing issue to Dallas... when I'm in the same city... same ISP and I'm not seeing an issue. The internet is weird. At least we now have a second server to test with... Man, see what you started thomasrelee... you make a post and less than 24 hours after I read it TMN's got an extra server online. D.C. has some sweet bandwidth too, very happy with the new server Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

D.C. has some sweet bandwidth too, very happy with the new server Not bad at all - but you did not have to go through all of this... Thank you!!! That is the least I can say! Almost always testing against the DC server, the tests are over my lines rated speed of 15 mbps, averaging 17.35 mbps for 11 randomly run tests over the past three hours!!! One or two of the tests somehow were launched from the Dallas server ( I guess it is due to some configurations you are still working on, and I did not include them in the above average ), but DC seems like they have their routing/peering in great shape. As for the tests that hit the Dallas server, they were still well below my lines rated speed. I hope your host finds whatever the bug is for your Dallas server and squashes it.

thomasrelee Posted October 4, 2011 Author CID Share Posted October 4, 2011 Here's another test, this time using the maximum size of 200MB: SWEET! I do not know if me being close to DC has any effect, but who cares. I'll take excellent results anytime!!! TWC Road Runner peers in Herdon, VA, so at least it has a small trip to DC from there and I can see their peering agreement seems to work out nicely when it comes to most services run out of DC and surrounding areas.

No problem, I need more servers. You just gave me a good excuse to do it. Yeah, I'm still working on it. There's going to most likely be issues and bugs with it for a while. It a humungous upgrade... luckily I've written the prerequisites for this already and have been planning it in the back-end over the past 14 months... --- I think I can just clone this server I setup today and open more from here. Maybe one more in the US, in Seattle... one in Amsterdam and One in Singapore. That should cover most of the worlds population... don't get me wrong, they can still test to the US server... I feel that's a great benchmark. But they'll also be able to test on a server closer to home, using TestMy.net's technology. ... so yeah, your post opened a can of worms. As for Dallas, I'm sure they'll fix it promptly. They actually replied a loooong time ago but I got off on a tangent setting up that server. Anyways, here's their response. I've given them your subnet to trace. If they have a problem on their end they'll fix it. I'll let you know when I know more. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
