What speed to expect ?
 

Ok, so I'm now on 100mb.
On ethernet I'm getting about between 20 - 50Mb/s depending on when I run the test.
Just wondered what I should expect ?

On the old 20Mb I was getting 19Mb pretty much all the time.

What do you think I can reasonably expect to get on 100Mb on ethernet...?

I'm in Staffs if that makes any difference, & have a Superhub.

Thanks.

111Mb.

I would bet good money you havent been upgraded dude because your speed test is 50/5. Log into the shub and have a look at your config, you should be looking for something like this:

Primary Downstream Service Flow
SFID : 900
Max Traffic Rate : 110000000 bps
Max Traffic Burst : 10000 bytes
Min Traffic Rate : 0 bps

Primary Upstream Service Flow
SFID : 899
Max Traffic Rate : 10250000 bps
Max Traffic Burst : 16320 bytes
Min Traffic Rate : 0 bps
Max Concatenated Burst : 16320 bytes
Scheduling Type : Best Effort

Hi.
I have the following:-

Primary Downstream Service Flow SFID 41684
Max Traffic Rate 111000000 bps
Max Traffic Burst 10000 bytes
Min Traffic Rate 0 bps

Primary Upstream Service Flow SFID 41683
Max Traffic Rate 5120000 bps
Max Traffic Burst 16320 bytes
Min Traffic Rate 0 bps
Max Concatenated Burst 16320 bps

Looks like I am on 100Mb but performance is woeful smetimes. Was down as low as 14Mb/s this evening. The old 20Mb only ever dropped to that, 90% of the time was on 19Mb+.

On the helpline at the moment.
Pray for me...:)

(Plugged into Superhub by ethernet by the way).

thing is dude you cant rely on the shub to give you reliable results when it comes to speed tests. My vmng300 always gave me 50mbits when I was on 50mbit but they forced a shub on me when I upgraded to 100mbit and the speed tests never gave me more than 36mbit. I proved that I could actually download at 100mbit (12mb/sec) but due to the crappy inner workings of the shub it produced dodgy speed test results. I suggest you give your connection a good thrashing on newsgroups during the day or download 8 files in one go from somewhere like www.gamershell.com to see what sort of speed you can actually achieve. Speed tests are only half the story and I only use them as a diagnostic tool when I think something is wrong with my connection.
