I.........Meant .........................3.2MB now that is fast.................................:D

Yes it sure is!

Sorry to be pedantic, but confusing bits and bytes is a common mistake and I'm sure it was just a typo!

Re: How many mbs per second should 10mb broad band download?
 

Fortunately for me, i've never seen a degredation in service unless i've been STM'd.

I get a constant 10MB service at all times.. well, around 9.8

Bit slow for me ;)

Whydoineedatech how did u get that speed?

Re: How many mbs per second should 10mb broad band download?
 

By running this speed test and I managed to get 10 files open, and added their transfer rates together.

My connection here in Knowsley is Rock Solid.

If you are a Virgin Media customer then the best speedtest is from the link below.

Have you tried going to this link to check your speeds http://gamefiles.virginmedia.com/

click on blueyondergames>demos>then click on at least 2 large files around 400/500 mb and save them to your desktop, and then wait a couple of minutes then write down the transfer rates on the files that are running > times them by 8 and you will get a truer download speed.

Remember to stop and delete the files.



i.e : 250kBps X 8 = 2MB, 500kBps X 8 = 4MB, 1250kBps X 8 = 10MB, 2500kBps X 8 = 20MB

Misreported. If it's not a large enough download you get some prefetch effect.

Download http://fuller.zen.co.uk/test/ 100MB version, it'll likely settle around 2.4MB/s.

Also misreported, likely reporting partly cached speeds or average speed across transfer, try it again and have something like Netmeter running. It'll show you throughput more accurately and it won't break, or even reach probably, 20Mbit.

Regardless of how solid or otherwise your connection is the nasty CMTS won't let you break 20Mbit however many downloads you have running, it shapes on IP level not TCP level so number of connections irrelevant, and as people STM'd can attest to its' rate limiting is quite accurate. :)

Roll on next year and my move, see how many connections it takes to hit the 14.4MB/s my connection should reach.

Re: How many mbs per second should 10mb broad band download?
 

You may have misunderstood what i was saying. I meant i get 2.6MB/s on my 20meg connection NOT a 20meg download.

I regularly download posts from usenet in-excess of 10gb in 50-100meg chunks so i don't think your assumption is correct.
I measure the throughput on a dedicated piece of software (mac) on my machine.

Look at the image below, this is a screen grab. Ignore the Speedtest.net bit as i was just using this to show how badly some sites report speeds.
Look ion the top right corner and you will see the throughput speed from the downloads. There was nothing else running at the time, there was no additional network traffic - just the download.

On my 10MB connection, I can get 1.2MB/s at maximum when it's decent. But during the evenings and weekends, I struggle to get near 3MB.

Re: How many mbs per second should 10mb broad band download?
 

It wasn't an assumption just a statement of fact sir. Even assuming no overheads or other inefficiency at all you won't get above 2.56MB/s from a 20480000 bit/s connection.

20.48Mbit/s / 8 = 2.56Mbyte/s maximum IP throughput.

Not sure if giving a DVD rip of a movie is a wise choice of an example either :D
