Afrihost International Shaping

Very useful little tool that, thanks.

I'm with MWeb on a 4meg line so here's the comparison. My line is not hundreds atm cos Telkom are useless.

Connected to server 4.71.251.162.

Estimating capacity:
Upstream: 295 Kbps.
Downstream: 3024 Kbps.

The measurement will take upto 2.5 minutes. Please wait.

Checking for traffic shapers:

Upstream: No shaper detected.
Median received rate: 261 Kbps.

Downstream: No shaper detected.
Median received rate: 2949 Kbps.

did a speed test to California modesto since the ip is a google server in california.. Pretty close

Estimating capacity:
Upstream: 403 Kbps.
Downstream: 2993 Kbps.


Upstream: No shaper detected.
Median received rate: 410 Kbps.

Downstream: Burst size: 1863-1905 KB;
Shaping rate: 2090 Kbps.

Lets analyse yours as an example.

Upstream:
Detects your line speed as 403 Kbps and can push traffic across it at a rate of 410 Kbps which means you are getting max speed with no shaping on your upload portion of your line.

Downstream:
Detects your line speed as 2993 Kbps (Close to 3Mb/s) and can pull traffic across it at a rate of 1863-1905 Kbps (Close to 2Mb/s) which means you are losing speed due to shaping on your download portion of your line with your effective shaped speed at 2090 Kbps (2Mb/s) meaning you lose about 1Mb/s.

Edit: Just wondering how accurate the detection of line speed is if you are already shaped. If you can download via another ISP at full line speed then this test is not that accurate.

Hi, I have a 512 line, do you think mine is acceptable.
It just doesnt feel much faster than the 384 line i had.

Full detail, same as 6pm, now 9h30pm .

I'm on a 4 MB/s line and on 4096 uncapped afrihost package...

I'm not sure how accurate it is, since i DO get alot more speed than that depending on server. So that particular server is just slow?
