Hi Guys & Gals
I found a way to test your speed by testing via torrents on seedboxes
('paid for' servers holding the files - many on different servers with the exact same file - so tons of bandwidth available), i was able to draw 108MiB/s on a single torrent = 903Mbps almost constantly - between 65MiB/s-108MiB/s but if the bandwidth is available
(seeders on seedboxes, or fast upload at home) it hits it. so that's good to know that if I can draw it, I will be given it, providing the server can supply such bandwidth. One thing I noticed most the speed/bandwidth came from IP's in The Netherlands, and they are quite close in terms of fibre.
I couldn't find the tester that
J0hn mentioned in MY BT - can anyone guide me, please?
Also, I found on BT forums, a guy with the same response on speed testing BT900 with online speed tests, he has a chart showing he was the same getting 400-800 on tests for days, so decided to change his testing method, then the second half of his graph was 900 solid. He said "what changed?", he used
'Amazon S3 Buckets'?? to transfer files back and forth every day for testing and was hitting over 900 every single time. I dunno what those are so will google them.
just for those interested, here is a "screen-crop" of his chart:
(credit to nino on BT forums) as you can see, on the 17th he changed it and it is solid.
I've learned a lot in the last few days, its what I love about this website.
cheers
