Hi there

Have a look at http://www.tcpiq.com/tcpIQ/LineSpee...ountryId=196&ConnectionId=14994&UserId=173879

It seems the international bandwidth has been better since this morning? Does anyone know if there is a reason for this? Any other comments on the tests results from a technical point of view would be good.

I am on a 1024 connection to Axxess(SAIX) and have noticed a improvement on general browsing and files downloading(not P2P) this morning. The speeds are even better than what I got last night and over the weekend? What is the difference?
 
Seems you are getting the bandwidth that the users without bandwidth should get lol ;-)

Overall id rate, your a lucky one.
 
@Wynsam

International went to a crawl yesterday My grph also improved since 12 PM today. Maybe they secretly worked on their useless shaping software. We wiil soon find out and demand answer if everybody improves. Maybe the little rain washed the telco cable. Hope is stays this way. LOL

Give some specs please Where, what ISP, FreeProxy ??....

Even with Free proxy I do not get the speed You show today. It comes ans go's. If You complain they say its the Net, utter BS! Lets see if it lasts

Here is my curve

Yep, thats was it. Any one who has studied science will know that water contains electrons. These electrons were transferred to the cable when the rain fell, thereby "replenishing" the electrons that were lost by people using P2P. Elementry electronics will show you that as these electrons get "used up", international will start to slow down again.
 
OH thats the reason its getting colder in capetown.. Whos stealing our sun? Stop your downloads now!!

This was the best hijack of post ever, had few good laughs

Yes, also true. The northern hemisphere has a huge amount of bandwidth - and it is colder than the southern hemisphere. Coincidence?

A whole lot of us going there and being proxied by SAIX?

Meaning ?? I am on Saix running NukeCap free proxy on trial
 
rofl pupa is that via FreeProxy, how does it compare without FreeProxy?

Would be interesting, since via FreeProxy you completely remove the SAIX transparent proxy so it wont be results from caching.

Meaning that any caching service (SAIX proxy, temporary internet, local proxy, FreeProxy) *can* skew the results of a speed test.

I am far more inclined to believe that, than believe that some people now have 2MB international on Telkom ADSL.

Donno to scared to touch anything have not had this stability ever Will try later when euforia vanished. In past when twealking I get spikes 800Kbps just to find it is gone when You reboot or reset modem, Maybe switch in IP ????

Moederloos I do not have 2MB I have 1024. Thee speed of your line is high, electronically,Telkom wont disclose that, connection speed I understand is determined by software throttling via SAIX or Telkom Ipnet server. That is why they can change your perceived line speed so easilly. If there is a issue with their software anything can happen. Normally in our case our speed is murdered. The NukeCap and others use their methods to overcome or bypass the sofware shaping server. This is apparent when I run visual route to see which servers I am going through.

This is written with best of my knowlege, 3 weeks, and for lack of better description. Please the IT experts, explain to us all.

If pupa is getting those speeds via FreeProxy, he is not accessing any caching servers, that I can promise you :)

I think there may however just be some "problems" with saix, some getting insane speeds and some getting no access.

PS. FreeProxy does not cache a thing on our servers, why would we wanna do that? We run on gigabit connections and its pretty pointless to drain hardware with results of caching, enough bandwidth available.

Hi there all

Just did another couple of tests. The results are still good. Have a look.http://www.tcpiq.com/tcpIQ/LineSpee...ountryId=196&ConnectionId=14994&UserId=173879

What is the difference? surely someone must know.

The humerous reasons are great for a laugh though!!!

How does this tcpip.com test actually work? Is it reliable? Anyone have an idea?

It works but speed varies a lot. I like Bpl speedtest and auditmypc. Their speed seem more realistic and in line with Telkom . Not as nice and automated as TCPIQ. Come Nov I switch it off.
