Internet Bottlenecks

OK IT guys... what's up with this?

 

I'm doing some work with a company based in St. Louis, MO.

 

We're transferring files via FTP and getting poo speeds.

 

I have 10Mbps fiber up and down.

 

They have 20Mbps fiber up and down.

 

We're getting like 0.6 Mbps on transfers.

 

 

If I do speed tests on sites east of the Mississippi River, I'm getting ~8Mbps down and 4-6 Mbps up.

 

If I do speed tests on sites west of the Mississippi River, I'm getting ~1Mbps down and ~3 Mbps up.

 

 

What gives?

What does this tell you?  I'm assuming the time out can't be good?

 

poo, sorry... it was in table format when I posted it...

 

[removed] is showing it's on a dial up connection.  TheRed actually answered correctly lol.  Please note I'm not a network admin and don't really know what I'm talking about...but that's what it says.

What.

 

 

The.

 

 

fug?

 

 

 

Dial up?  How is it routing traffic on the net?

 

It depends.  It could be part of that company's legacy system.  You'd be surprised at how many systems are still using dial up(if a credit card takes more than a few seconds to clear it's probably dialing in with a modem, for example).  It's not necessarily a machine that's routing internet traffic, just a machine your packets are going through.  

 

Thinking about it actually, you should probably delete that trace you posted. Possible security concern (even if negligible).

Yeah, I did, thanks... I had X'd out the relevant IP addressses...

 

 

I'm going to do more research on this... it's very interesting.

I'm not sure if this is exactly your issue but internet throttling is a huge issue lately. Especially if you play League of Legends.. This thread kind of explains some of it..

tl;dr there's diff types of ISPs and there's a disagreement between them and they're being shitheads and giving bad service until someone gives in and pays extra money. It's not necessarily just Comcast either.

 

I'm one of the many people who have this problem with really good internet but I can't play a game I like without huge ass lag spikes (500ms up to 16000ms lag spikes). Packet shaping ftl.

 

I've been using http://www.internethealthreport.com/ to check and see when a good time to play would be.

      So is Legette getting traded?

      By Bear Hands · Posted

      Can't keep pining for what never happened....but for god sakes, DeJean, Frazier... and we got this dude in a R1 trade up.  The most notable blunder of this era, that's for sure.

      That's it. How do you feel about this draft class.

      By Bear Hands · Posted

      Overall, fine.  Wish we landed a guy to pair with Lloyd but I presume this means they're giving Trevin one final year to put it together (72nd overall 2 years back).  Flashed potential year 1, had a dud last year.   R1: Freeling LT - Great value and a need; landed our new long term LT that could end up starting off the bat.  Icky had a terrible injury and is not playing in his contract year.  Walker is what he is on a 1-year rental, who even knows how he fits. You get premier OTs early if you can find em' and he has what you want.  I thought he could have gone as high as 6/CLE pre-draft, so am a big fan of the selection.  Looking at this class, he's one of the guys at the top that is like "okay that's the LT".  Others have this right/left or G/T type discussion about them.  Freeling is an LT.   R2: Hunter NT - We didn't really have anyone replacing A'Shawn's snaps in our rotation.  Wharton & Brown aren't 3 downers so adding Hunter to the mix fills a big void. I dug deep into S and LB this draft so was a bit to zeroed in - In recognize the value and impact add in the trenches. R3: Brazzell WR - Intriguing.  Given our history, I don't really want to place any expectations here, but a different style weapon for Bryce. I pretty much expect a WR drafted yearly with this regime. Other notables.. Hecht C - These are the type of rounds where starting centers have been found.  We got a starter for this year, but Hecht seems pretty capable and I like it for a long term find.  SOLID AF.  Wheatley S - A pretty well regarded safety prospect.  And we see it every year (like this one) safeties get hyped, people think they may go sooner than expected, and the league reminds them how it rolls.  Plenty of nice safeties have been found in the 4th-6th in recent years.  Big fan of Wheatley. Can't say I know enough about Lee or the others.
