Who believes Telkom :p

I bet you if you phone them 3 times you'll get 3 different answers :D

Plain and simple, if all ISP's have the same problem, then it's Telkom who is the common denominator. Your stats look good, I would ignore the CRC errors, I think that has something to do with interleaved mode, my errors are sitting on:

Upstream Downstream
Current Rate(kbps) 1020 18429
Max Rate(kbps) 1244 21704
SNR Margin(dB) 13 6
Line Attenuation(dB) 11 23.5
Errors(pkts) 829 16545

And yet I can download at linespeed 24/7.

So why the hell are you moaning :D ;)


like i said, i can stream youtube at 1080p, netflix is okay and websites load okay. The only thing is my download speeds just doesnt want go more than 4mbps and my upload test just times out.
 
Definitely a problem with youtube, getting 1Mb max on all videos...

Edit: Nvm, seems to be a problem with local caching.

Not moaning :D

Maybe ask Telkom to put you on another port?

My results:


Your test results
Summary Details Advanced
Your system: -
Plugin version: - (-)

TCP receive window: 66240 current, 66240 maximum
0.00 % of packets lost during test
Round trip time: 22 msec (minimum), 50 msec (maximum), 39 msec (average)
Jitter: -
0.00 seconds spend waiting following a timeout
TCP time-out counter: 238
0 selective acknowledgement packets received

No duplex mismatch condition was detected.
The test did not detect a cable fault.
No network congestion was detected.

0.0084 % of the time was not spent in a receiver limited or sender limited state.
0.9624 % of the time the connection is limited by the client machine's receive buffer.
Optimal receive buffer: - bytes
Bottleneck link: -
0 duplicate ACKs set

Ok no youtube is definitely a problem. Some videos are fine (although they start out really slow).

Does refreshing help the video throughput at all?
Are you able to determine the source IP you're being served content from?
 
Alright guys, I'm going to call it a day :) I'll be back on Monday morning.
AfriFella will be around shortly to take over until around 8pm tonight.

Have an epic weekend!
