anyone else having ping issues to sg?

@4th alphabet

from your ping plotter stats, it is clearly evident time has better latency over unifi

as for download speeds, it is recommended to download using multiple connections instead of one.

below are my results for downloading http://archive.org/download/IS2013-04-20.m....20track05.flac where you had 320KB/s while i had over 3MB/s (3000KB/s)



p/s: don't expect good download speeds over wi-fi

tl ; dr = download using a download manager. i'd recommend jdownloader.

just because a different isp gets better download speeds from some random server doesn't mean it is better. there are many factors you need to take into account. for one, the routing and uplink providers.

if you want to test download speeds, download something common like drivers and programs from microsoft. not some obscure file from a small scale web server.

better yet, stream a 1080p youtube video.

this is on a single connection speed test to the US. archive.org is small scale based on it's function as a web site. it does not have the capital to afford high quality uplink providers. when service providers route different to a file server, download speeds varies based on the uplink provider. bandwidth isn't cheap and there are many different qualities when it comes to bandwidth.

let me make try to make it simple as i can for everyone to understand.

fileserver1 buys bandwidth from company1

unifi buys bandwidth from company2 which has good peering with company1

Time buys bandwidth from company3 which has limited peering with company1 and company2

company2 peers at 50gigabit with company1

company3 peers at 10gigabit with company2 = a portion of the bandwidth with company1 will be shared with company3

hence, my definition of small scale web servers are those that can't afford to cache their files based on the location of the request. this is where CDN comes into the picture (content delivery network).

p/s: archive.org is a non profit org that is funded by donations from other orgs.

i don't really torrent a lot but i don't usually bother seeding and i'll close the app once my download finishes.



as you can see i am uploading way more than i download not by choice

I can't even connect to some sites. Won't even load.

Gawd...

seems to be back to normal now

Anyone here can help me with my relocation of service?

I've contacted TIME and sent them the change of service form but they have not gotten back to me for a week. I'm moving out from my apartment and I will not have access to my old apartment soon.

Thanks guys
