Hi Guys - I need a bit of constructive thoughts and opinions. My CEO (South Korean) requested FTTH so that he and his family can watch South Korean media streaming from SEOUL. He is however complaining that his FTTH is not 1 inch better for that specific kind of service vs ADSL.
Either the international capacity is really poor on both platforms or the links are saturated.
FTTH (20mbps) : (carries traffic around earth via eastern routes to S.Korea)
When doing a local speedtest , 19-20mbps both up and down is easily achieved on speedtest.net from using a JHB based server.
When using connectivity test to UK , 10.45mbps down and 6.93mbps up is achieved.
When using connectivity test to Baltimore(New York) , 6.97mbps down and 1.21mbps up is achieved.
When using connectivity test to SEOUL , 3.94-4.43mbps down and 0.34-0.46mbps up is achieved (which confirms my suspicion about poor backhaul capacity between asian partners)
When using torrent traffic (p2p) , 19.45mbps down is achieved.
ADSL (4mbps) : (carries traffic westerly via UK->US->to S.Korea)
When doing local speedtest , 3.83mbps down 0.42mbps up is achieved.
When using connectivity test to Baltimore(New York) , 3.76mbps down and 0.33mbps up is achieved.
When using connectivity test to UK , 3.4mbps down and 0.35mbps up is achieved
When testing to SEOUL , 3.20mbps down and 0.30mbps up.
When using torrent traffic (p2p) , 4.59mbps down is achieved.
No doubt that FTTH is faster locally , but internationally - something just seems...wrong?
How can one attempt to constructively improve this and achieve more international speed to S.Korea on FTTH?
