I need some test rats

[Dan]

Yup that one is in California

The bandwidth costs are ridiculous in Australia so we get half the bandwidth and limited to 10mbps which is an issue in busy times as the connection choked up.

So want to see value for the us server.

If some Aussies can use the same file download link but with the new ip that would be great

Since being 'here' I noticed that as well. Anything electronic based is much much cheaper, as is electricity, cars, food, alcohomol, etc.

Can i ask for the same tests to be run with the IP

67.20.55.14

Just determining difference between a US based server and Brisbane, based on network latency and speeds

This is 4 times slower than the 38ms from yesterday.:s

4 Packets min=173ms max=230ms ave=194ms

Yup latency in response is tolerable as long as overall download is ok. Can you try downloading the 100mb file from 67.20.55.14?

10mbps is such a narrow bandwidth for the traffic we get and I'm worried more about that than the original ping rate

Can you send me the command - is it fget - its been a while since I did these fun things 😀

 

[Dan]

Just http is fine

http://67.20.55.14/test100.zip

(Ps it's wget)

But http is better it gives me a truer idea of the speeds people will get with browser overheads

 

[HappilyManly]

Its done 50mb in 10 minutes 🙁 Still going.

The fget was a flashback to the good old Unix days 😀

 

[Dan]

Ok too much latency. Lightening fast for me but you get that on a 120mbps connection 😉

Think I'll take a 6 month punt on the Brisbane server and deal with the slowness from my end

 

[HappilyManly]

Ok it took 22.39 for the 100mb - latency galore.

boo!

since when was anything from qld remotely up to date?

 

[HappilyManly]

Didn't TPG takeover Pipe Networks who laid some new submarine cables via Guam?

We are screwed in Oz with speed and costs for data 😡

 

[Dan]

The issue is bamdwidth costs. Australia has 3rd world internet, it's ridiculous so to make it affordable they have to limit bandwidth and network output speeds,

Sucks but such is life.

@glabaleagle the superior internet speeds we get should really overcome any latency issues that are caused by Australia. I'm sure you are sitting on a 100mbps or more connection even in your ramshackle moose blind

 

[MadMarcus]

One thread about signing Danny Wicks and now there are threads about sending packets of pingers from some Brisbane "server".

 

[globaleagle]

"glabaleagle"

🙁

thanks don

 

[RiverEagle]

It was just a simple moose-take mate.

 

[Dan]

Some more tests for you please

http://23.229.123.150/100mb.img

 

[globaleagle]

About 90 secs.

 

[SeaEagleRock8]

Started a couple of times but don't really know how to do this ... if you need more feedback more detailed instructions required!

 

[Dan]

Just download the file and tell me how long it takes and I can make some rough estimates from there

http://23.229.123.150/100mb.img

Ping Min=172 max=319 ave=249

Download 23 seconds :huh: (Are you in my lounge 😀)
