Slow download speeds on 1gbps plan

[imdarkray]

I have set up "Uptime kuma" a docker image on a cloud VM that keeps pinging my router on a unique port.

@imdarkray I do have similar setup running and setup telegram alerts to monitor up/down events. But can you explain this unique port number part? How ping works on specific port number? Or you meant TCP connection on specific port?

 

[imdarkray]

yes. Mine is set up to monitor on a unique TCP port only. But you can set it up in other ways too. Technically it's not ping. but it does monitor specific connections on a TCP port.

@vishalrao I know the difference between mbps and MB/s my concern was it fluctuates between 70-80 MB/s only it won't get much higher whereas I am able to reach much higher speeds on every speed test server

not only that now my connection geolocation is showing I am from Germany and every website is showing results according to geolocation this is a major issue especially on the desktop, on the phone I can't even use Google Pay since it doesn't work in Germany I had to switch on mobile data to get it to work

I not only tried to talk about this with customer care but also with the L2 team in my area but they are not ready to acknowledge the issue

just now I talked to a guy from customer care and he said my connection is on dynamic IP only and said I would ned to get static IP

like wth I am already on public pppoe and static IP

so I asked him to enable the static IP for my connection again

let's see what happens

@hariselio Still getting Dynamic IP on Airtel and I am in Bangalore.

70-80MB/s is reasonable, considering PPPOE and the payload overhead.

The default MTU on Airtel routers is 1480, you can try to increase it to 1492.

Can you share the first few block of the IP you are seeing?

 

[SpeedxThunder]

I am currently on static IP, with that on speed test I get full 950 Mbps but while downloading I get 70-80 MB/s

if I switch to pppoe I get public IP and speed test servers shows 500-700 and I get the speeds also in that range (60-75 MB/s)

for pppoe I get 122.166.xx.xxx, 122.167.xx.xxx, 122.171.xx.xxx

and my static IP gateway is 122.166.54.1

I couldn't find an option for mtu in Nokia don't

do you have any idea bout the geolocation thing?

 

[Lolita_Magnum]

What are you downloading from ? to check the 70-80 speed.

What website/app are you using for geolocation, the IPs you have shared above show up as Karnataka.

The whole Airtel Broadband (AS23552 - AS24575) subnet is registered with APNIC for region India only. Maybe you have enabled Cloudflare Warp on your device?

 

[SpeedxThunder]

I got to know through Google services only (maps, searches, Google Pay, german yt ads)

idk what else should I check?
