Hi

 


 I’m on fibre 900/400 2 degrees getting some terrible upload speeds to London on speed test 414Mbps down and 2.92 Mbps upload  to Cerberus Networks 

 

 

 

Anyone else with the same issues or is this normal

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

thanks

What did you use to get and do you know round about when the issue started?

Yes, for some reason I tested it earlier today. While download easily got to 250 Mbps, upload was at a really low 2.8 Mbps.

not that i am aware of, also due to the traffic nature of our customer base any congestion on our side would normally impact downlink, it would take a lot to impact uplink.

 

as per normal a tracert to the specific London host always helps as there are loads of speedtest servers in London so need to narrow it down a bit.

I'm on Voyager Fibre Max but just in case it helps to have a comparison here.

 

From Woodend by Christchurch just now, to Cerberus in London, I got 277ms Ping, 135.44 Mbps Down and 36.72 Mbps Up.

 

Going to Sky Network Television in Christchurch (my closest choice) I got 2ms Ping, 355.81 Mbps Down and 278.79 Mbps Up.

 

 

 

Edit: I'm running Windows 10 on a i7 4700K PC, wired ethernet, in Google Chrome (not that it likely matters but with nearly 150 tabs open).

Horrible!

 

 

 

EDIT  The nperf speed test (www.nperf.com/en/) is down - "Connection to server could not be established."

I actually don't think this is a 2degrees problem and instead is just TCP doing its thing on higher latency connections such as this.

 

I've run this test on multiple devices. Windows achieves the lowest upload speed (as others said - around 2Mbit) but if I for example do this on a Linux host I get this:

 

 

Then on my MacBook / iPhone I am getting upload is in the 100's too.

 

Nobody has mentioned what OS they're running but on Windows you can try running this in Powershell and rebooting which will help in situations such as this:

 

netsh int tcp set global autotuninglevel=normal

 

@hio77 is the expert on this subject.

Ah I should have said what I'm running yes, I've edited the post with those details now. I'm running Windows 10 on a i7 4700K PC, wired ethernet, in Google Chrome.

 

 

 

On my phone (Galaxy S20 Ultra) over Wi-Fi 6 (router in the next room), in Chrome (desktop mode) I got 284ms Ping, 23.32 Mbps Down and 139.35 Mbps Up (yep way more Up than Down somehow).

@LostBoyNZ That kinda confirms my theory. I'm seeing the same results on a Voyager Gigabit connection (a VPN peer I have) and 2degrees so I actually don't think there is a problem here.

 

And yes, on my phone sometimes I've seen higher upload than download too :)

Yes my speedtest was done on windows 10 edge browser 

 

Just out off internet  I’ve just tried to watch bbc iplayer and itv hub on my appletv with DNS4me and it’s buffering a lot making it unwatchable this  doesn’t usually happen 

 

 

 

something is not right

If you are using 3rd party DNS then that is a different story try a speedtest using the ISP DNS

It seems normal to me for London. Has always been really high latency just due to distance. Windows is just rubbish with high latency, high speed connections and always has been.

 

I've just added you to the private forum so discuss unblocking services in there maybe. But like I say, I don't actually think it is a 2degrees issue.

Linux: If you are using 3rd party DNS then that is a different story try a speedtest using the ISP DNS

 

That won't make a single difference. The Speedtest will still route to the same location over the same paths.
