You are questioning why you are not getting the speed you were getting from Pulse8. The question not asked (and not possible to answer without trying it) is what speed would you be getting now with Pulse8 if you were still with them? Would it have also degraded?
That in itself is an interesting question, but one that is likely to remain unanswered.
I guess the more fundamental question is whether there was actually any value in changing, especially as I am now paying more per month than with Pulse8.
By way of an update, this Tuesday IDNet transferred my backhaul from TTB to BTW, and although the results aren't absolutely amazing they have resulted in a significant improvement (see attached IDNet scatter plot).
The first couple of days were pretty good, but am seeing some degradation in single thread speeds since yesterday (see attached IDNet BTW scatter plot).
In terms of a straight forward figures analysis, the answer at the moment is that IDNet on a BTW backhaul are still doing better than Pulse8 did in my last few weeks with them.
IDNet (BTW) IDNet (TTB) Aquiss Pulse8 Mean 69.4 59.6 60.8 64.2 Median 71.1 63.3 69.5 66.9 Std Dev 5.5 10.0 17.5 9.4 |
What I'm really struggling to understand is the variation in TBB single thread speeds on consecutive tests. I always do them in packets of 3 tests and the most recent gave me 72.5, 59.7 & 42.3 Mbps.
Does anybody else see that level of variation? Any guesses why back to back tests should be so different?
