Slow 10mb speed in NG17?

My 10mb seems to be borked even after rebooting router/modem and just general surfing, not hit the STM limit by a long way?

Code:

Sun, 18 Oct 2009 12:30:03 UTC

 

Test 1: 1024K took 2527 ms = 405.2 KB/sec, approx 3339 Kbps, 3.26 Mbps

Test 2: 1024K took 5429 ms = 188.6 KB/sec, approx 1554 Kbps, 1.52 Mbps

Test 3: 1024K took 3806 ms = 269 KB/sec, approx 2217 Kbps, 2.17 Mbps

Test 4: 2048K took 5975 ms = 342.8 KB/sec, approx 2825 Kbps, 2.76 Mbps

 

Overall Average Speed = approx 2484 Kbps, 2.43 Mbps

Off to the pub now so see what it's like in a few hours, that's if I'm sober, HIC!! :)

Your connection can be good at one point of the day, but worse at others. During peak times it will be worse than at say early morning or late at night. You'd have to do tests throughout the day to check, or at least confirm.

In my area the speed is pretty much consistent no matter the time of day, it is unusual for it to go as low as it did yesterday so I can only assume it was some area problem or whatever that was since resolved.

Re: Slow 10mb speed in NG17?

As stated in my first post it couldn't be me triggering STM due to:

a) Not downloading anything at the time.
b) STM should stay at 2.5mbps on a 10mbps connection

I was fluctuating upto 3.6mbps and as low as 1.52mbps as per the speed test I posted, so I don't think STM would allow the 3.6mbps speed!

Point is moot really as the issue is past :)
