On a supposed 2mb connection, I suppose the average is goodLOL But I'd rather that speed DL

Any idea why my direct downloads are so slow? 15/16kb/s!!!!

Cheers bud, I bought a Belkin N1 router only yesterday so I'll give it a try Smile]]> Tue, 25 Nov 2008 18:27:36 +0000 http://support.net1.ie/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=114&PID=680#680 Internet Comments : Speedtest Thread http://support.net1.ie/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=104&PID=679#679 Author: IrishLad

Hi,
Lets look at the speedtest results.
 
The Speedtest.net will run a test from your machine to a server in dublin, since this server is peered with Net1 it connects directly through INEX in Dublin. So basically you get a very good link between your machine and the test server as their both connected to INEX directly.
 
The other test using VisualWare's speed test actually runs from a server in the USA, so it has to run the test over a contented connection across the atlantic (Dark Fibra Ring). Since you leaving the "local" network (ie. Ireland) your going across the Atlantic on the same link that all other ISP's use, therefore the connection and slow speed is related to this link and not your Net1 link as such.
 
Sppedtest.net
 
NET1 (You) ---- INEX ---- Speedtest Server
NEt1 (You) ---- C&W Link --- Atlantic Link ---- Internet ---- VisualWare Server
 
So as you can see its all about the distance, sppedtest is good to verify your actally wireless link through Net1 is running at the speed it should.
another good link is http://www.net1.ie/speed
 
Hope this helps, Let me know,

Hi,

This is a test I've done on speedtest.net:



And this is another one made just a few moments later on irishisptest.com:



Can anyone explain to me why there is such huge difference? By the way I'm on 3Mb/s and it's hardly ever reaching that speed...

Hi,
 
If you are using a cable router (not directly attaching the Net1 cable to your PS3) try this.
 
If the router supports uPnP then enable this and retry the connection.
Since Net1 terminate the connection with a fully open external IP the uPnP feature will let the PS3 open the ports it requires to get NAT1 and close them when there not needed.
 
Works fine for me, manually setting up the port rules does not always work, the PS3 seems to perfer to see uPnP enabled.
 
So turn it on from the router control panel, let the PS3 connect by DHCP (uPnP will not work over a manually specified IP) and NAT1 sould work.
 
NOTE:
On a Belkin its works 99% of the time, you may need to restart the PS3 a few times.
On a Netgear it works 50% of the time
On a ZyXel router it work 25-35% of the time from my testing.
 
Latest firmware in my Belkin N1 router has it working 100% now
 
Hope that works for you.

Always had a good service, often better than this, with just the occasional downtime quickly fixed. I have to compete with my brother who uses P2P stuff on the same connection but even with that I find it very usable. The only problem occurs sometimes when he's left his downloads on and it slows the net phone connected on my desk. (He'll be getting his own place soon [I hope!] so I'll have the bandwidth to myself finally!)

Spoke to the eircom man in Clogherhead and he was pretty amazing really, but not in a good way. Wanted to know all about my current connection etc but was not forthcoming about their own contention ratios, data transfer limits and so on. As far as I can see the only crowd who compete on service, like for like, are Smart as they have their own fibre optic network - but not in Clogherhead of course. I told the eircom man to go away and not to come back till he could offer something better than I already have. I have a dislike of cold-calling salesmen at the best of times but when they know less than me it just gets infuriating.

Maybe I'm just getting cranky in my old age.]]> Thu, 02 Oct 2008 10:56:50 +0000 http://support.net1.ie/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=104&PID=673#673 Internet Comments : P2P http://support.net1.ie/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=116&PID=672#672 Author: novackus

Hello,
I'm new Net1 customer, just got everything connected. Smile
I'm using P2P quite often and when I started my P2P client utorrent today, it can't reach download speed higher then 20kB/s! Confused Is there any particular reason for that from Net1 side?
I've read previous topic related to my problem and I understand that you don't encourage P2P use. But in terms and conditions of Net1 contract there is no information that there is a P2P limitation to broadband use in any way.
Could you tell me if it's only my settings problem or is there more into it, please?
Regards.
