Vox Telecom Fatpipe

BigBear said:
VOX Support tested from their 100 Mbps to verify what I am getting so that cancels any Line issues out from my side as they could hardly do any better from their Lines vs my 10 Mbps line.

Yes we know that already and was following advice from here:

To log it as a Support Request so that VOX can take it up with the Outside Network.. "escalate high latency with Telia peer in London to the Advance Core team"

My Problem isn't gaming it was with the Bad Latency when watching Vimeo Streaming Videos vs Youtube and the slow Download Speed when Loading/Buffering videos from Vimeo.com, anyway like I said before will just live with it as it seems to affect all ISP's that I tested with...

Ah I see.

But again, line speed does not affect latency so even if they tested from a 1gbps line would the latency not be lower than +-190ms.

Distance and congestion affects latency.

1gbps would be fiber which would actually be a lower ping ;P

Well the problem seems to be on the Londen Peer connection on the route to Vimeo.com

Will test again Tonight but from Previous Tests Youtube would load fine and at least spike to my Line Max etc. but when watching a video from Vimeo it would barely hit 1-2 mbps and maybe download at 256 kbps which is quite frustrating even when leaving it to download it would sometimes stop etc.

Investigating the FTTH option as well anyway :whistle:

YouTube is a special case and is prioritised in several ways AFAIK.

FTTH is a great option, but won't fix any issues with peers or destinations such as Vimeo.

Vimeo and YouTube are classified under the same heading and are handled identically on our network. Any kind of prioritization on any network, commonly only happens during network congestion by using Network QoS (DSCP marking or TOS values).

Do me a favor and supply me with the link of the Vimeo that you're struggling with (searchable name/etc) and I'll perform some tests tonight from my DSL when I get home.

Light should travel faster than what?

Bit of info for you;

There's also a very small speed difference due to propagation speed. Electricity is as fast as light, but in any case, the actual speed attained depends on the medium. Fiber is a very good medium, and is pretty close to vacuum. But transmission over copper have to deal with capacitance and indutance, and these effects affect the signal speed. However, the impact of this delay tends to be very small.

The speed of light is not constant and therefore you are correct that the transportation medium (and even gravity) does affect the speed of light but fibre and copper both run at the speed of light and therefore you saying "Light should by all accounts travel faster." didn't make sense to me and that is why I was asking "faster than what".

Even though copper may be slightly slower than Fibre it is so small that over the 5km distance between your ADSL modem and the exchange it really doesn't make any difference to the latency. The local loop would need to be millions of kilometres to really make a measurable difference. Fibre is better than copper because it can easily facilitate way more bandwidth over long distances with very low signal loss.
 
I am getting speeds of 2 and 3mb whole day on 10mb line. According to telkom nothing wrong with line

Anyone else having issues
 
Seriously bad latency again on Vox tonight.


Can we please identify and fix this.
