Thanks all for your test results... :)
That does seem quite low

Even lower this evening:

iperf Done.

Thinking it might be the compiled version of iPerf I have on a Windows PC I went over to speedtest.net and found Clouvider there and select single thread test, and got 65 down and 107 up, so on par with the iPerf result.  Did a test at Thinkbroadband and single thread test hitting the 800s so not a local issue to me getting down to AAISP gateways from my location, and speedtest.net single thread to Mauritius Telecom is 771.

Just goes to show how you can get odd results on the Internet and widely differing ones at that.

iperf Done.

I've set up a few test instances on AWS, I'll start up a new thread if folk would like to do some testing.  See who gets the high scores lol :) https://forum.kitz.co.uk/index.php/topic,27354.0.html

Thinking it might be the compiled version of iPerf I have on a Windows PC I went over to speedtest.net and found Clouvider there and select single thread test, and got 65 down and 107 up, so on par with the iPerf result.  Did a test at Thinkbroadband and single thread test hitting the 800s so not a local issue to me getting down to AAISP gateways from my location, and speedtest.net single thread to Mauritius Telecom is 771.
I see iperf3 capped around 170Mbps for a single thread if I use a gigabit LAN Windows 10 laptop into my router, I'd be surprised if it were the binaries "fault" though.  I'd imagine more likely to be some Windows config matter that puts iperf3 at a disadvantage, I'll have a play later.  All the higher numbers I'm quoting are from running iperf3 on the router itself (a Linux box basically).

So I'd be interested to know what folk typically see from" iperf3 -R -c lon.speedtest.clouvider.net -p 5209 ". (p 5000-5009, I picked 5009)

I get about a bit over half line rate to there, 550-600Mbps.

From AWS I get about 4000Mbps to the same server, so it's clearly capable.

Using a Linux virtual machine on my connection with Lightning Fibre (gigabit) and via GRE tunnels for BGP stuff I get the following result via UK Dedicated Servers Ltd (AS42831):

They doing some serious subsidising to push sims out for O2, the £41 includes a £12 going to O2.  Whilst the £64 is without O2, so £64 going to VM for normal gig1, and £29 going to VM for gig1 offer with O2.

so what they're offering is 500M which is listed at £35 a month, the O2 sim gives you VOLT benefits which doubles the 500M to gigabit. O2 have cheaper packages than £12 such as £6 for 4GB on price comparison (which VOLT doubles to 8GB). Thats the same price overall as you were offered, but VM often have cashback deals of around £100, so possible to make a little cheaper

Interesting, the sim does have 10gig traffic though.

Overall happy with what I got offered.  Of course come contract end time if i am still on VM its the pretending to leave deal.
