[mr.valver]

Nowt wrong with my 6.5Mb Sky thanks

 

[RDH]

How fast does p**n load now?

Not tried p**n yet, Newsgroups are flying though

 

[Keydogg]

Do a speedtest and make us all jealous then!

 

[olliewebbuk]

I'm more interested in the pingtest.net readings.

I get that, but if you did a speedtest thing it would show more than just downstream speed.

Mines being installed today, yay!!

Newsgroups are my main concern and they are getting maxed out which is great.

Other results including Speedtest.net are what you would expect, 96-98Mbps d/l and 8.5-9Mbps u/l.... depending on which server, time of day etc

Pingtest.net

Pingtest.net

This.

Speed means f**k all without a decent ping. And since you're on VM, your pings will probably be poor for the speed.

Ping: 9ms
Download: 93.8mbps
Upload: 31.62mbps

My VM ping test was 35ms

 

[olliewebbuk]

9ms isn't bad. I'd like to see the Trace Route where it goes through VM's 5 or 6 traffic filtering servers. ¬__¬

Should of said, we have a fibre run on site.

 

[sbridgey]

this is what i get with what was installed 10 mins ago

 

[Chris n nic]

No nearer servers than paris?

 

[sbridgey]

paris is the fastest

[olliewebbuk]

You have worse pings than my 12MB/s ADSL.

 

[mugglesquop]

i find that its the servers that slow down my surfing, and thats only on 30mb

 

[eugegall]

Not sure i posted my 30MB in the 100MB thread. Maybe i didn't it because of the Ping talk.

What the hell is Ping anyway?

 

[Black Phoenix]

cof cof

 

[mugglesquop]

at work tho lol

 

[Simon@SprayShack]

Its very much like measuring willys with rulers............

 

[olliewebbuk]

There's some huge e-penises in this thread.

 

[Stava]

And there is some fast internet

Short answer is that it is a measurement of round-trip-time between you and the server. So basically how long it takes one packet to go from you to the server and back again. So the lower the better, especially for things like online gaming.

Due to the way TCP/IP works, a higher latency (or ping) will also actually limit your maximum available throughput between yourself and a server.

5 or 6 traffic filtering servers LOL There will be a best efforts Diffserv QoS queue on the VM MPLS core nodes. Plus some lawful intercept devices and packet shapers. All trace routes will go via the LiNX Exchange in Telehouse in Docklands
