Testing a 10Gbps home fibre connection

Bliksis said:
I've recently downgraded from 1 Gbps to 100 Mbps and didn't notice the difference. I don't know why I went up to 1 Gbps to start off with.

I’d argue that for general usage and streaming etc there’s not much of a perceivable difference from around the 40mbps mark per user. At least currently.

I want to extend my fibre network by connecting a 40m LAN cable to it; and adding a WiFi-repeater to connect and re-distribute the signal. Any suggestions?

Just another AP connected to that cable would do the job just fine as long as it’s configured correctly. Ie. DHCP disabled etc. if you want to get fancy for management purposes a mesh pair as @Nephew_ suggested with a wired or wireless uplink would work. Wired should always be more preferable.

Really don't see what the point is in having such a stupid fast connection.
Most wireless devices ie. phones and TV's aren't even capable of reaching 1Gbps.

You are doing it wrong if your TV is using WiFi...
 
Vumatel out here testing 10Gbps while Openserve can't do 1Gbps for less than R2895pm
 
Give it to me!

I will bypass Vumatel's CPE, and hook directly into the my CloudCore Mikrotik as well! (they will need to supply the bidi SFP module though)

Although I'm probably not keen on paying the, what, ~R4000 per month?

So MyBB test servers are not configured for thos speeds, hence the 'slow' speeds - but it's not clear from the below whetherOOkla are or aren't ? He only got 4.3Gbps - so is the link slow or the server also not configured?


On speedtest.co.za, he achieved a download speed of 2.641Gbps and upload speed of 2.998Gbps, with a latency of 1ms. It should be noted that the MyBroadband servers used to perform these speeds tests are not configured for such high-bandwidth connections. Most South Africans — many of whom primarily access the Internet through a mobile device — have Mbps Internet speeds that often measure in just the double digits. On Ookla’s platform, he recorded download and uploaded speeds in excess of 4.3Gbps, and the same 1ms ping.

Speedtest.net tests to 4 servers at a time where the mybb test will only be from that single server.

I did not know that, that's very interesting.

Yes, I think they started doing that to get more accurate results because not all speedtest servers are capable of 10Gbps or more. For example:

I live in Switzerland and have a 10Gbps connection since 2016. Downloading updates, installing games, etc. is just so much faster and simpler.

I agree that most devices do not have high speed connections, but 2.5Gbps desktop lan ports are almost standard on most desktop motherboards. 4 of those desktops and you are at 10Gbps.

It is just a matter of time before it is the norm.

Some may ask what the 10Gbps FTTH connection costs in Switzerland, it is the equivalent of R400 per month.
