Anyone on Orcon UFB 100/50mbit/s able to give me any real-world examples of being able to get close to 100mbps down?

I download from http://games.orcon.net.nz/files/ubuntu/ at around ~34 mbit/s (4.3 mbyte/s)

I've also tried experimenting with using apple trailers as a speedtest as they seem to be cached by the isp once someone has downloaded it first.

wget -U QuickTime/7.6.2 -c "http://trailers.apple.com/movies/independent/ironsky/ironsky-tlr1_h1080p.mov"
First time downloaded very slow at anything between 1.6-6.4 mbit/s
Second time downloaded (presumably now cached at isp) ~45 mbit/s

Anyone been able to get closer to 100?

I'd be curious to know what download rates the games.orcon.net.nz can give; if the server is the bottleneck.

You wont be able to get max speed on single download thread. Try torrenting for a multi-threaded download that might approach your connection max.

See this article for ideas on how to test a 100meg service http://www.freitasm.com/7496

nickb800: You wont be able to get max speed on single download thread. Try torrenting for a multi-threaded download that might approach your connection max.

Agreed, if your able to get 100mbit from Orcons FTP server you most likely would be using 1/10 of all the bandwidth that may be available to the server.

With 100/50mbit connections I would never expect to get 100mbit international or a single http/ftp thread, also there may be DDOS protection systems in place to prevent DDOS attack this may limit excessive speeds.

IF you want to test a 100mbit connection, find a really popular (actually a linux ISO) Linux ISO that has lots of high speed seeds and use that.

nz.archive.ubuntu.com should be able to saturate 100 megabit.

If your ISP has 10gbit to APE, From my PC at work I've been able to download at 100mbit no problem.

Well yeh it should be able to go faster than 100 megabit as long as the ISP has at least 1 gigabit to APE. Do Orcon have 10 gigabit to APE? Anyway, we're talking about 100 megabit - which it should do easily.

I'm only getting ~7.5MByte/sec (60mbit/sec) downloading http://nz.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu-releases/12.04/ubuntu-12.04-desktop-amd64.iso

Anyone else on Orcon UFB able to get higher than 60mbit of an advertised 100?

What is your latency to that server?

I am on Snap VDSL and got 8.2MBps/66Mbps @20ms downloading http://nz.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu-releases/12.04/ubuntu-12.04-desktop-amd64.iso

I've have Orcon fibre for a month now and its been hit and miss. I actually have an open support call about it at the moment. My fastest speedtest result (my signature) was taken a few days after install. It then started to average in the low 40s. A few days back they updated the firmware on the Genius:

Runtime Code Version: GeniusLite1404
Boot Code Version: 1.0.37-106.17

Since the update my tests average 55Mb/s. It would be cool to hear from anyone with Orcon fibre with better results.

Maybe try with a different router? I can tell you guys that you can easily get more than 100mbps for a single thread if latency is low enough. I've seen upwards of 400mbps downloading from Ubuntu mirrors. I've just run a test ofrom Orcon DC and can get 350mbit to their games server. I suspect I can get more but not enough time for the TCP to ramp up with only 1GB files - its over in 20 seconds.

@Domoth did a test on my orcon 100/50 UFB downloading http://nz.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu-releases/12.04/ubuntu-12.04.1-desktop-amd64.iso and getting ~50mbit/sec down. I've never been able to get my connection over ~50mbit/sec

@Zeon router is orcon-supplied cisco SRP521W which should be adequate. Thanks for the confirmation that games.orcon.net.nz is able to saturate over 100mbit/sec.

I'd still like to hear from anyone getting >50mbit/sec over orcon ufb, or anyone's ufb for that matter.

Try an actual Linux ISO torrent, like a popular ubuntu ISO or something.

How did you get the Cisco instead of the Genius? Business connection?
