anthonyhong Posted April 30, 2009 Report Share Posted April 30, 2009 Hi guys, maybe you can help me out... this is making me go crazy, but first let me list out a bit of historyI just changed ISPs today, froma 1 megabit connection to a 5 megabit connection, speedtest confirms that the connection is ~ 5 megabits and upload at 0.6 megabitsI have my DSL modem, speedtouch 516 connected to my Dlink Dir655 router, thorugh PPPoE and forwarded through port 46844 which uTorrents confirms is open. edit: I also tried the modem bridged and then through the router, however port forwarding wouldnt work. I googled and apparently the sollution was to go PPPoE through the router. By the way, with bridged I had the same max download rate problem /editProtocol encrypition I tried on and offpeer.lazy_btfield is enabledMy ISP is Teksavvy, which isn't supposed to be cappin'Trying the OOo slackware and ubuntu torrents, I still hit less than 30 KB/s. Ontop of that, I have tried a bunch of other torrents witha bout 800 seeders, those I had about 50 peers and well, the down rate was stuck below 30kb/s as well. 'puter specs, opteron 146, nforce 4 chipset, 1gb ramsI think that was all I was supposed to list! This is sounding quite odd, but if you guys could shed some light onto this, that would be great!Ughhhh never mind, I found it -.- http://www.theglobeandmail.com/servlet/story/RTGAM.20080325.wgtinternet26/CommentStory/Technology/ , 'Bell irks ISPs with new throttling policy' Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jewelisheaven Posted April 30, 2009 Report Share Posted April 30, 2009 So you can confirm between the hours of 4p-2a you are hard-shaped to 30? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Switeck Posted April 30, 2009 Report Share Posted April 30, 2009 Bell/Sympatico ADSL ISP in Canada connects smaller ISPs to the internet, including Teksavvy...and Bell throttles them to heck, just because it can!Canadian government officials have deemed this practice 'legal'.

jewelisheaven Posted April 30, 2009 Report Share Posted April 30, 2009 We'll see, or will we? This was announced over a year ago now, and I guess either the re-sellers don't amount to a hill-o-beans to that monopoly Bell has, or the government is taking the lead from the U.S., if it pays it stays Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
anthonyhong Posted May 1, 2009 Author Report Share Posted May 1, 2009 Hey guys sorry for the late response, but yes comfirmed capped at 30 KB/s from afternoon until 2AM, the second the clock hits 2AM speeds pick up right away.I am not too happy about it, but I do understand little can be done. Either way, its a better deal tha Roger's Lite which is what I switched from.edit: btw, this is 8AM in the morning Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Switeck Posted May 3, 2009 Report Share Posted May 3, 2009 Your settings shown in the screenshot certainly don't match any I recall from my Speed Guide (2nd link in my signature)...did you use uTorrent's built-in Speed Guide (CTRL+G)? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gated Posted May 10, 2009 Report Share Posted May 10, 2009 Not to brag or anything but here's my speed as of like 5 minutes ago. I have a 20/2 connection with turbo boost. Speed test statistics---------------------Download speed: 6372240 bpsUpload speed: 1766160 bpsDownload quality of service: 90 %Upload quality of service: 97 %Download test type: socketUpload test type: socketMaximum TCP delay: 70 msAverage download pause: 4 msMinimum round trip time to server: 68 msAverage round trip time to server: 69 msEstimated download bandwidth: 36800000bps <<<---Not bad eh?Route concurrency: 5.775049Download TCP forced idle: 79 %Maximum route speed: 7710000bpsDetailed analysis : http://174.34.146.20/myspeed/db/report?id=976You can find the test at http://www.ispgeeks.com just click on the diagnostics tools tab and you will see this test called TCP Speed Test and several others including one thats good for voip or ventrillo. I would first run the TCP test, then the Capacity Test and to find out where the bottleneck is use the Route Performance, it should at least tell you if it's your isp or not. Good luck Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
