We're having a disagreement with our corporate ISP. In SA we get 10-12 Mbps down and up. But international only 0.5-1.5 Mbps. They claim it's latency or peering arrangements with the ISP. On my home 8 Mbps ADSL I get 3 Mbps (Plugg/IS).

I'm using speedtest.net and using the Boston Comcast server.

Please run a test to it and post your results and ISP. EDIT: this will only help if you have 4 Mbps or faster connection - please state your line speed.

This is what I got a few minutes ago:

This is where that server is:

Thanks. I already took it from your screenshot, however if the original poster wants help then he should make it easier for people to help him. As I'm less inclined to help if I need to go out of my way to do your work for you etc...

Agreed. I had ntop running on our server, was easy to check the connections.

Do a traceroute for us. That must be using a different route.

Yep, doesn't go the same route as mine.

ix-24-0.tcore1.CT8-Chicago.as6453.net is where I'm seeing the packet loss here.

Erm not sure I understand. Did the url and screen shot not help?

Thanks everyone.
 
Bottom line, ADSL is performing better than a business symmetrical account by several multiples.

They are trying to explain it away and I know it's BS. Just need enough samples to prove my point.
