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?

Got to do a trace route between the source and destination.  This will show all the hops it takes and the time it takes for each hop.

 

 

 

 

 

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.

      Another Win

      Dennis Rodman’s son lands Summer League shot with the Hornets   The Charlotte Hornets are coming off a promising 2025 NBA Draft class and will enter Summer League with no shortage of new faces looking to make an impression. But the most interesting addition didn’t come from the draft board. Instead, it’s DJ Rodman — the 24-year-old son of Hall of Famer and five-time NBA champion Dennis Rodman — who’s bringing some extra attention to the Hornets’ Summer League roster. Rodman played four years at Washington State before making the move to USC for his final season.  He wasn’t exactly lighting it up with the Trojans, putting up about 6 points, four boards, and an assist each game. But he did shoot well — hitting around 41% from the field and draining 36% of his three-pointers.  Standing 6-foot-6, he’s got the size to play on the wing and offers some versatility, which could be just what the Hornets are looking for as they try to fill out their roster. The Hornets’ Summer League squad already has plenty of fresh faces with this year’s draft picks and young guys fighting for a role. But Rodman’s last name alone is enough to turn heads, and now he’ll get his shot to prove he belongs once the games tip off in Vegas. Charlotte’s Summer League team is already drawing interest with recent draft picks and young players hoping to crack the rotation. But Rodman’s last name — and his potential to bring energy and toughness — adds another layer of intrigue. What Rodman lacks in college stats, he makes up for with hustle and competitiveness — traits his dad was known for throughout his Hall of Fame career. If he can bring that same energy and show growth in Summer League, he could carve out a role and surprise some people. Though the odds are against him making the Hornets’ final roster, there’s no denying the spotlight that comes with the Rodman name. The Hornets kick off Summer League next week in Las Vegas.   Dennis Rodman’s son lands Summer League shot with the Hornets

      Question to the posters on this thread because you are knowledgeable--I love watching and pull for the Canes, but I never played so I don't have the understanding I had when I played football then watched it.  Having said that, Do you think we are weak at Center?  I see the team to be pretty strong on the wings, promising defense, and weak at Goalie.  It would be ideal if the Canes had 1 more position to upgrade, not 2.  I don't think you can count on Anderson to play a full season and he is 35.  However, are we solid at Center in your view?
