Looks like from between my last post and this last week, my download speeds have seen better days, but my upload looks like a very bad EKG chart. UDM-SE matches what I see on Speedtest Tracker

@chriscal No issues here in Wellington (Hyperfibre) and getting pretty stable results.

 

I believe there are some network upgrades coming soon that should help but I've also noticed an update to speedtest-tracker will require reconfiguration by feeding environmental variables into it. See here: https://docs.speedtest-tracker.dev/getting-started/environment-variables 

 

For some odd reason mine is back to randomly selecting servers.

@chriscal My upload has always been sub par.  Download is very steady though.  See below to Chorus Speedtest.  A Speedtest to Quic/Vetta's Auckland Speedtest server is even worse.

I concur with observations of sub-par upload speeds with Quic. I just switched today from Orcon 2G Hyperfibre to Quic 2G Hyperfibre. Same router (Mikrotik CCR2004-16G-2S+), same home network etc, using DHCP Auth.

 

I would summarise the change as slightly faster download speeds but significantly slower upload speeds. Not shown on graph is latency has increased under Quic from sub 10ms to 15ms to 20ms.

 

I sure do hope Quic are able to iron out these issues as I was really hoping for different results than this.

This is pretty much exactly inline with the results I was getting using them. What i found using ipv4 only upload would be around 300-700mbps max while download was all over the show at as low as 700 to as high as 1800, 

 

When using IPv6 the results for Upload would improve they would go from 300mbps to 1200mbps but again that was pretty much the max with Quic,

 

 

 

To say the least it was super disappointing, You shouldn't have to use Linux and speedtest to one server only to maybe reach hyper fibre speeds its just not right, something is broken on their end. That was BNG 2 AKL

Just an update. Using Chorus Fibre Lab seems to be the most reliable speedtest server to use with Quic from my testing. My download speeds are consistently around 1.9-2.0 Gbps. Uploads are variable. I have seen upload speeds start at 1.7 Gbps but then slows down to 0.8 to 1.0 Gbps.

 

Under Orcon my previous ISP, I had a different speed constraint where downloads were around 1.2-1.5 Gbps but uploads were consistently 2.0 Gbps. Same router, home network etc.

 

@quic and others, any ideas what is going on with my upload speed and how can this be diagnosed further?

 

Thanks, Gabe

I've noticed some inconsistency between bng1-akl1 and bng2-akl2.

bng1-akl1 seems to be around 2000Mb/s download but between 900-1300Mb/s upload.
bng2-akl2 seems to be around 1700Mb/s download and upload.

 

I did mention this to the Quic team so they are aware. Will test again after the upcoming maintenance window.

@gabesmith Also there is a Discord server for Quic customers now. See here: https://www.geekzone.co.nz/forums.asp?forumid=194&topicid=315195

I found inline with ssamjh, apart from I could link it down to ipv4 and ipv6 being the major difference, I was on BNG 2 see results below and see same test on different ISP but exactly same gear and same PC, 

 

This is all carried out on windows 10, Speed test App from windows store,

 

No linux speed testing, My conclusion was that they either have congestion or incorrect setup. It would be good to see if you can recreate this result from selecting just IPv4 because some speed test servers only allow ipv4 testing then using ipv6 and selecting the chorus server and see what upload looks like?

Hey - on your linux host, try some sysctl tweaks. I found this helped heaps..

 

 

 

net.core.default_qdisc = fq_codel
net.core.rmem_max = 82501632
net.core.wmem_max = 82501632
net.core.rmem_default = 1048576
net.core.wmem_default = 1048576
net.core.netdev_max_backlog = 250000
net.ipv4.ip_local_port_range = 1024 64999
net.ipv4.tcp_congestion_control = bbr
net.ipv4.tcp_rmem = 4096 131072 82501632
net.ipv4.tcp_wmem = 4096 16384 82501632
net.ipv4.tcp_moderate_rcvbuf = 1

Seems to have made a difference.  I changed around 14:00 on 25 June 2024 and upload now seems to be a around 2000Mbps.

 

Will see how it goes over the next few days.

Good to hear mate. Yeah, the defaults on Linux aren't quite there yet for those speeds ☺️

@godber Woah... I would have not thought on a Linux host this would have been an issue. Great catch @3l3m3nt!

Would you look at that, you can see where I made the change last night. Will see how it goes over the next few days. Nice one @3l3m3nt!
