So, confirmed by Google, Speedtest.net's makers, and Kaspersky's own moderators. Proof is all over the place if your lazy ass could only be bothered to look for it. I'd quote my own tests too but you seem like the kind of guy who's too ignorant to listen either way.

Which is better for what?

BSR 64k is newer kit and can utilise TX32 decoupled downstream modules and RX48 decoupled upstream modules which can gives better flexibility for scalable expansion, smaller physical,power consumption and improved cost/bandwidth profiles.

However it depends on when and how much VM are deploying - you need someone like Igni to give a more authoritative and comprehensive outline of what is out there and how VM are likely to utilise it…..

I only asked whether you might be on Moto kit because of the flat delay line on your u/s capacity that seemed (in my very limited experience) uncharacteristic of Cisco, but obviously the u/s load on your port must presumably be (very) low…..

i.e. TCP = ~2mbps per stream, UDP = 50mbps per stream.
….and just to "muddy-the-waters" further a significant difference between single and multistreamed test could also be indicative of congestion!

thats quite interesting, I presume my area will be moved to motorola when the 100 mb comes here?

Also what was interesting about my upload stats earlier on in the thread; I'm curious!

Once again if you actually bothered to read what you linked to the issue is down to Kaspersky Internet Security and it's network traffic scanning module and has nothing to do with Kaspersky Anti-Virus.

You fail. But then again, Fail is half your name, so I should have seen it coming.
