Lol.. You must be living next to the DC with a sub 1ms ping :)

Indeed looking better. Nice and stable on this end too.

Curious... why have I got 2 x 100.* hops on my path in between the two 160 addresses?

EDIT: Ah K.. Just did a geo lookup on the IPs and it's CGNAT.

Not the first time I heard that, usually get 1ping constant for game servers in Gauteng lol

yeah that type of natting is going to induce some extra latency.

These 100.99.. IPs are simply there for internal routing (IP exhaustion is a real thing, so unnecessarily using IP space to move traffic between our routers is not always ideal). It doesn't NAT your traffic, rather just PTP IPs used between devices in our core.

Nah, won't make any difference on the latency.. As mentioned above, these IPs are just hops as traffic moves between devices (BNGs, the accelerator and our core)
 
I know nobody asked, but oh man oh man I’ve got to say, Websquad is the way to go. My fiber line from the outside to the term box inside the house got cut/removed and i was without internet for a short while but Websquad kaaped the whole thing in two minutes, thanks Websquad back online.
 
Quick question on a 200Mb line is it normal to get these speeds or i am missing something?

I know I’ve tested with wifi but that’s basically the speeds that i get on Lan

The reason i am asking is because, a friend on Vuma core i think with an isp I’ve never heard of before, has a 20MB line but he gets like 23ish down

I'm on openserve and also get the same... A bit below what's expected. I used to be with vuma (also through websquad) and got a bit more, just like your mate.

So I think it's about overheads on the FNO side (could be wrong *shrug*).

On vuma and I always get a little bit extra.

Maybe some device was hogging a little bit when you were doing the speedtest?

Thank you very much for the great feedback, will let the team know!

We usually over-provision by 10%, and Vuma does the same. Which Vuma network is this? Aerial (GPON), Village (SADV) or Trenched?

not to hijack the question, but i generally get between 850 and 930 on a 1000 line. i just got used to it and chalked it up to attrition. am i supposed to be more concerned? :)

That's pretty good,many home users don't even have the hardware to get those numbers

yeah, that's what i thought. that's wired, though. drops to around 500 to 600 on the wifi, if you're in range of the satellite

orbi 6 mesh FTW

edit: i lied. checking the results it's 800 +- if you're in near satellite range and 150 to 250 if you're further away

930/940 is a theoretical max - 1024 Mbps minus IP header. Some speedtest apps compensate for heder bandwidth and overstate results. Retransmits and CPU/browser also play a role at these speeds. But to really see 1 Gbps eyeball bandwidth, you'd need to have a 10G port. Same way a 100 Mbps client on a 100 Mbps Fast Ethernet port will only see 93-94 Mbps on the screen (which by the way is a dead giveaway when 100 Mbps+ clients report 94 Mbps speedtests).

what i thought and read when i was looking into it. overstating seems to be the case on streaming tests, like fast.net, which always round up. general idea seems to be that if you're getting 85+ percent of stated, you're fine. which ties up.
