Server speed

[Enzyme]

Hi,

Having a slight problem with my provider. They are telling me i am on a 1Gbit unshared connection and i am adamant we aren't after running some speedtests.

So here are some speed test links that i've tried:

What is your thoughts?

What location is your server? How about doing a -O /dev/null

[Ashleyuk1984]

Your download speeds all depend on your server location and the location that your trying to connect to.
Judging by your last speed test...
"Ecatel, The Netherlands"
You downloaded the 100MB file in 1 second..... So that would be a good indication that you are on a 1Gbit connection, and I guess your server is based in the Netherlands.

---- EDIT ----

Well, it seems that you have removed your results from "Ecatel, The Netherlands"... So I don't know what else your trying to hide now?? And that also makes me unsure if your other speed tests are legit.

It is in Holland. I tried -O /dev/null and it made no difference.

I understand that location plays a big part.

I removed the Ecatel speed test because I don't want to let the datacenter know that i'm posting on forums as they don't like it and they terminate your server . I've already spoke to them.

[gfxguru]

impossible.....thats not on 1gbps unshared connection.

[Lifetalk]

Assuming your default port is eth0, the one way to confirm is to type this:

ethtool eth0

That shows you what speed the network card/link is negotiated at. 1000mbps is what you're looking for.

But the speedtest from Cachefly confirms that you're on 1gbit port, because you hit 26.87MB/s.

Having said, the slow speeds are because:
1) Wget is a single connection based downloader. Downloads on single streams are often slow.
2) Geo location, and routing.

It could also possibly be because the file you are downloading is on a server that is only connected at 100mbits, and there are other users speedtesting the file at the same time as you. Many variables. But you most definitely seem to be connected at 1gbit.

I think the datacenter would be wise enough to make sure that the NIC is cable of a gigabit but you never know.

That is what i'm extremely confused about. Cachefly speed test gives me a good result and it is located in Chicago... When i run a more local speed test, e.g WorldStream i get 5mbytes? Which is quite shocking for a server. I'm gonna have a look for another 1gbit speed test within NL incase it is WorldStreams server.

Here is a LeaseWeb speedtest.

Can someone now download a file from the server to test it's upload speed:
http://speedtest.hostcrunch.com/1000mb.bin

[masterb56]

I'm surprised more with the Worldstream report lol. NL -> NL should be more than 10Mb/s

Have you tried to download test files from Leaseweb, OVH, Germany or UK?

[Enzyme]

Yeah exactly^, I just tried LeaseWeb.

I can't resolve to your file.
