peru99 Posted March 7, 2016 CID Share Posted March 7, 2016 I use Tooway in the UK and although some of my download speeds appear acceptable (that's by the pathetic UK standards that is) the performance at desktop level is pedestrian and I am told that this is due to the transfer rate. Why talk about download speeds I ask myself? Can anyone answer the question for me? https://testmy.net/compID/1616078365996 Quote Link to comment https://testmy.net/ipb/topic/32753-transfer-rate/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
mudmanc4 Posted March 9, 2016 CID Share Posted March 9, 2016 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. peru99 1 Quote Link to comment https://testmy.net/ipb/topic/32753-transfer-rate/#findComment-348643 Share on other sites More sharing options...
peru99 Posted March 10, 2016 Author CID Share Posted March 10, 2016 Many thanks for taking the time to help me. I suppose my fundamental problem is understanding the difference between download speed and transfer rate. I will search the forums about tweaking my system. Thanks again for your help.
