Note 24/11/2013.   I now have all the information I need.
Thank you very much everyone that took the time to post their results too.



Can anyone on fttc please do me a favour and download one of the larger TBB test files and see what speeds you can achieve.

Im particularly looking for help from anyone who is getting a full 40Mbps and anyone on the 80/20 service.
I would also appreciate it if anyone on a work dedicated link could also provide some results too for comparison.

The information I need please

• A speedtest from thinkbroadband
• The results of a download file from here.
   NetMeter is a good free utility that will allow you to check your throughput speed whilst downloading the file

Can you also please supply me with the following information:-

• Whether the test was performed by LAN
• Your ISP
• Your connection speed/type ie FTTC 80/20
• Router and modem
• Any other single thread speed tests you can do such as FTP

Thank you.

FTP details removed.

• LAN
• HG612 modem, TG582n router
• FTP max 28Mbps

• Result 71.47 Mbps
• HTTP - 30 Mbps [1]
• FTP - a pathetic 18 Mbps up & down[2]

Ive tried several times to get a decent PPPoE connection with the ECI modem.
For some reason I cant seem to get any upstream speed.

• Plusnet
• FTTC 80/20 - Sync presumed 79,999/20,000 ?
• PPPoE
• ECI modem
• FTP max 28Mbps down. 0 up[2]

• Result - Neither the TBB or speedtest.net will perform.  BTw speedtest rest appended showing 72.81 down /0 up [3]
• Max 30 Mbps - see attached cap [1]
• FTP Max 28 Mbps - see attached cap [2].  upstream is 0.5kbps

BT Infinity 2 80/20
FTTC 80/20 Sync Speed 66832/19999
HG612/Netgear R6300
LAN connection
61.56 Mbps

FTP downloads of those large files I'm getting similar speeds, approx 62Mbps. First time I tested though I only got 23Mbps. Which is weird. That didn't change until I finished the download and restarted another.

HTH

[kitz]

Thank you very much pettaw, at least that tells me it is possible to get more than 30Mb on the http files. 
It is interesting to note you only got 23Mbp the first time though and also your speedtest is showing as 18Mbps per thread.

--------------------

Ive tried 4 times now to get a decent PPPoE connection with the ECI modem.
but for some reason I cant seem to get any upstream speed.
Ive had to switch back to using the TG582n to be able to post the rest results.

[pettaw]

I didn't see the 18Mbps per thread? Where did you see that number on my speedtest [confused]

[kitz]

Sorry - you dont.  I was being stupid 

[NewtronStar]

You can have my TBB speedtest
BT 40/10
LAN 1 gigabit port HH3 to MB with a gigabit lan port
HG612

[kitz]

Cheers thats great.  Shows that your burst speed is still about the same as your overall speed.
Ive looked at Zen, Sky and BT speedtests Ive found elsewhere and none of those either are showing the 30Mbps restriction.

Ive tested the speed of my LAN between 2 PCs and that seems perfectly fine.

Not sure now if its my connection or a PN thing.  I guess Ive done all I can here so its over to Plusnet. 

Someone kindly tested the ftp server details I put up from a Zen connection, so that also seems specific to me/pn. 
Therefore I'll delete the ftp details now.

yeah kitz I can tell you before I even do the test I will get good single threaded results, no such problems with BT, but I will do a test now.

--edit-- test done. during the test live dumeter graph was flatlined max.



also I regurly use single threaded FTP servers to download various things, rarely any speed issues.

[Chrysalis]

du meter snapshot downloading 50meg file twice of tbb file page.

1st can see it ramped up slowly but did max before file downloaded.  2nd which was same file again ramped up instantly due to the connection been trained.

BT ftw over plusnet
