Anyone facing slow speed on International servers??

[deltaechov]

Currently on 100Mbps 750GB plan, for Mumbai Server I am getting around 90Mbps. However issue start when I want to download from the International server, for example, right now I am downloading PyTorch with a max speed of 2MegaBytes instead of ~9MegaBytes. If I do a speed test to Singapore server same thing Download speed is around 20-30Mbps while the upload is going till 86Mbps. Is it just I or everyone is facing this issue?

And can someone suggest good ONT (preferably non-Chinese)
Will BSNL change it for free without any reason(upgrade to gigabit ethernet, maybe)? (it's on rent)

How do you guys monitor it ?

 

[sloj]

I don't monitor it, just sometimes when I feel like something isn't right I do a ping test. You can search something like smokeping.

Looks fine then. Temporary hiccups. I had google shoot to 400 ms range for a few minutes last night.

That graph is in seconds.

OPNsense has this feature. If you use OpenWRT I am sure you can monitor it.

oh ya. then bad. lol. could be temporary. hold on for a few days.

update on latency to 1.1.1.1 and 8.8.8.8

Looks like BSNL is improving routing.

Forget about routing, as long as there's no jitter pings upto 60-70ms are fine as I don't game. But have you been able to solve your problem of slow speed?

I get 30 Mbps down, 100 Mbps up. Complaining to PGPORTAL, their response is the plan is "upto 100 Mbps" so depending upon network condition sometimes you can get speed lower than that too.

TLDR; for BSNL office 30 Mbps on 100 Mbps connection is fine.

I'm almost certain that my LCO is limiting the speeds since sometimes I have even got 110 Mbps down and 150 Mbps upload speed on the same setup, but only for a while. After that it returns back to normal 30 Mbps.

Regarding up to 100Mbps or 200Mbps these plans' speeds are vague. They don't specify a minimum acceptable speed so it can also be 0Mbps(This is what I have concluded). However, if I remember correctly there is this TRAI rule which stats 80% to 90% of the subscribed bandwidth is compulsory (please correct me if I am wrong).

Mine got resolved on its own. But now since I am on 200Mbps plan with AONT 100c (they don't have any gigabit ONT available and Alphion only works with ALphion) so most of the time I get 50% of the speed i.e 94Mbps max (ethernet limitations). It does fluctuate though.

You should try downloading with IDM (the reason you'll get more speed is multiple streams that IDM uses to download) and see the max speed you are getting. If LCO is limiting, it won't cross 3 MB/s.

Try this, select connection as a single connection in speedtest.net and see the speed, after that try multiple connections.

@deltaechov yes for some reason multi threaded downloads are able to reach a lot of speed. But still not in all servers. Even with 32 threads some servers just never go more than 2-3 MBps.

But then there's Google Drive and other Google servers like Play store where single threaded speed is also 11 MBps (90 Mbps).

Its really strange because I never get full 100 Mbps except on torrenting (I personally dont, my friends do) and Google Drive.

How do I know if LCO is limiting speed only with non-peered networks? I don't think LCO would even understand peered/non-peered stuff so probably he isn't applying speed limit although it may be possible that single TCP connection speed is limited. Then again, how does one explain full speed downloads from Google Drive without using IDM!

Google is peered though. I think most people get full speed on GDrive.

Its likely not throttling by peered or not but rather some weird congestion control.

Do you get good speeds to domestic non-peered servers?
