Hi guys
Not sure if this is the place to do this, but I thought it would be cool to start a thread of your general performance with Cybersmart Lightspeed.
I've been doing some testing today to see how things perform.
Just some general observations:
From my home to work using VPN I get 8ms ping to my desktop (at work it is ~2ms from laptop to desktop over wifi). Not bad!
So I thought to myself, what kind of performance would I get if I were to download to a privately hosted box and download from there?
So off to Amazon Web Services first (I already had an account)
I downloaded "1020 MiB -> ubuntu-14.04.4-desktop-amd64.iso". Almost 1GB.
Downloaded to my EC2 instance @ around 12 MiB/s from the ubuntu servers (using wget) (t2.micro)
I uploaded the file to an S3 bucket and downloaded the file using Progressive Downloader (Mac) with 8 threads.
Max speed reached: 14 MiB/s
Next I decided to see if my speed was limited due to some possible S3 throttles.
So I used: http://docs.aws.amazon.com/efs/latest/ug/wt2-apache-web-server.html
I simply put the file in the www/html folder.
Again I'm using Progressive Downloader with 8 threads.
This time I hit 20 MiB/s. Yep that is the full advertised line speed. (Downloaded the file in less than a minute)
Some more info:
My instance was located in the Dublin data center.
I haven't really bothered with speed tests because I had no complaints up until now, but it was good to see what the line is capable of!
Next I would like to test using Digital Ocean.
Comments/suggestions welcome.
