![]() ![]() My experience was the same at a NYC-based ISP. When they ran out of easy install opportunities, expansion stopped. Google Fiber got a good deal in its partner cities to run the fiber next to existing power lines (which not every city has, they're all underground here). My experience from working at fiber ISPs is that the infrastructure is the hard part. People that want to use the Internet don't have enough money to do that, and that's why the business is tough. Think about how much money it costs to dig up a street and put cables under it, and then run them into each house along that street. There is the cartel effect going on (lobbying against municipal broadband), but even in the absence of that, it's still tough to be an ISP. Forget about the difficulties of generation-long projects, this makes anything longer than 4 years highly uncertain. It was approve & construction begun on one administration, a final portion for it put on hold by another, then opened again by a third, a fourth stopped it again resulting in its backers cancelling it (seemingly) once and for all. Whether you're for or against it, the Keystone pipeline is a prime example of the insanity that results from this. On the other hand it means that very important pieces of public policy are even further removed from election accountability and subject to the whims of different administrations. Technically this allows agencies to be more nimble, or as much as possible in any lumbering bureaucracy. That's the double edged sword in the US of having executive level departments with wide latitude to set regulations with the weight of law behind them but not the same high barrier of changing them as it takes to change a law. (And that's before we even get into the issue of the public comment ballot box getting stuffed by copypasta spam in favor of killing net neutrality and wink-and-nudge blind eye turned away from it.) Then we got an FCC chair who not only took it away, but actively trolled people who were angry about it. In the US we had it for a brief period of time. ![]() ![]() I think you've either found a technical bug or a, uh, "the speedtest is good so my internet must be fine" "bug" (which would be very interesting). aaaand remember that it's persistent (for just the tab) until you turn it back off :) lol)Įdit: Just found downthread describing seeing 100Mbps through a 10Mbit hub. Now I'm curious what model PHY (well, NIC) you're using.įWIW, Chrome's devtools has a network rate limiter built in (network tab, dropdown that says "No throttling", open that and hit "add". I think speedtest websites try to measure both the burst rate and the line rate, so perhaps something's gotten very tangled up on both the PHY and JS sides. Remembering that experience got me thinking - without any idea what I'm talking about, I'm wondering if the PHY layer is doing something vaguely similarly stupid-simple that does technically limit the line rate to 10Mb at full blast, but still allows throughput to very briefly burst higher than that. (I'm still looking for a way to synthetically limit a link in ways that are physically accurate.) IIRC I was just playing with the default approaches you'd find bandied about on tutorial websites and such. While stumbling around attempting to figure out `tc qdisc` a while back I found that the shaping it was applying was very synthetic, such that asking for low bitrate and high latency would mean the kernel would just wait a second or two then shunt several KB of data through at once. Presently you can begin test your Internet speed just by tapping on GO button.You mean you told the PHY to renegotiate at 10M with something like `ethtool -s speed 10`? Also, you can see whether your ISP is giving you all the data transfer capacity that you’re paying for. Testing CenturyLink Internet speed just requires a couple of moments, and it can help you to address network issues. The data is uploaded from your devices to internet at per sec. The data is downloaded from the internet to your devices at per sec. so you can share the information across the world at any time. It allows you to connect with your devices all the time 24/7 without the wires. With the power of wireless networking technology, you can connect your Computers, Smartphones, tablets, electronic gaming consoles and other devices to the Internet. Internet speed is more important to exchange the data and Buffering the streaming video, audio and downloads. Through the power of internet, people can share the information to anyone from anywhere in the world. Internet is used by billons of people across the world. Internet is called as the World Wide Web or Web or net. ![]()
