Hello all,

 

So, I'm a system admin, but also a DJ who streams to the internet. We've been having constant net problems, download speed is 26 mb down, and upload speed is .45 mbps, with a bit of jitter. This is all single thread to Devoli Auckland using speedtest.net, oof. I've recently looked at setting up a home server, as the web server I have in vultr is more expensive now, thanks to the strong USD, I figure the increase in the power bill and internet cost (at least $10 for the static ip) might be less than the hosting cost per month, and the server I'm getting will be more effective anyway. Long story short, I'm looking at getting a static IP address, and a better ISP, one with better latency and upload speed.

 

What's a good ISP for traffic out of Christchurch? Can people in Chch post their speedtests?

Sadly, no, direct connection over lan cable to my Fritzbox 7590, old 2degree model.

What speed plan are you on and why are you testing to Auckland?

Are you sure you don't have a network issue?

speedtest.net decides to use Devoli's auckland server. Changing the server to Voyager internet - Christchurch yields similar upload speed results.

 

There is no apparent network issues. ping time to the fritzbox is <1ms.

You can't tell just from a ping to the router

The isp probably isn’t your issue. You’ve got something else going on to be getting such terrible speeds on fibre.

Have you tried a Speedtest from your Ubuntu machine?

In the router have you got any details in the user name / password fields?

As others have said, sounds like an internal network issue.

Also, you might be on CGNAT which may limit what you want to self host.

I too have come to repeat for a fourth time what others have said: Have you checked your shoes?
