Experiencing slow upload speeds.

[nishantt6969]

I'm having the plan of 30Mbps, but when I do speedtest on any server world wide, the download speed strikes directly to 30Mbps and then comes down to 28Mbps but Upload speed remains at 10-12 Mbps, and sometimes it goes to 25+ but most of the time it stays at at 10-15Mbps. Anyone experienced the same or have an idea of what should be done?

Bro further away the remote server slower the speeds. That's why we have country specific mirrors/nodes for optimal data upload or download speeds.

This is the behaviour even when I am 5kms away from servers.

Firstly how did you calculate the distance? Also, who are the service providers at both ends? A data packet travels does not travel directly from one point to another but through a series of interconnected networks and their routers before reaching the destination. Remember home internet bandwidth is shared between you and other subscribers and has something called a contention ratio. Load conditions are dynamic and can change. I guess you remember what happened when people started working from home during the lockdown. Everybody had to suffer less throughput.

Distance is listen on speedtest.net for every server. I followed that only. Yes I remember the second lockdown phase when speeds were almost 1/3rd of the plan.

Please don't take that kind of info seriously. It's only an approximate and can change.

Sure thing. Anyways, I want to know where does my ping travels and whats its route when I am opening a website(loading a website) that thing can help me know which is taking time loading websites and refreshing time.

@nishantt6969 Use tracert to see the hops i.e network route/path used.
tracert -4 for IPv4
tracert -6 for v6. (default IF you have public IPv6 address)

Please put some light on it tracert to broadbandforum.co (172.67.155.126), 20 hops max, 46 byte packets
1 122.161.47.255 17.913 ms
2 125.18.73.17 18.567 ms
3 116.119.44.158 166.476 ms

5 172.70.87.2 155.253 ms
6 172.67.155.126 156.192 ms

@nishantt6969 You have a packet drop at hop # 4 and that could be causing a slow response.
