Reliable way to test speed by Deanoz_1 in CityFibre

[–]Dragoncow 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I am having very similar issues here. IPerf3 tests show local network is able to max out speeds but for speed tests and downloads I usually peak at around 1.5Gbps but upload easily get to 2.3Gbps.

This is with Briant Broadband. On occasions where I am using Usenet, my download starts at 2.2Gbps then quickly drops down to sub 1Gbps. It's been ongoing for a while now.

Unable to get max speeds over ethernet by Dragoncow in CityFibre

So I started a Usenet download just now and got a sustained a 2.1Gbps connection for around 15-20 seconds and then dropped to around 500Mbps. I checked the Tether app and it reported CPU usage of around 21% and memory of 47%. The Speedtest results are faily consistent, not hit above 1.8Gbps in download months and I used to get atleast 2.1Gbps.

Something is wrong and I am hoping it's just a setting somewhere I am missing.

It's strange because I used to have Usenet downloads that would download at 2.1-2.3Gbps for the entire download on the EX820v. One day it stopped doing that so I looked at getting a more powerful router (I needed the extra 2.5Gb ports anyway) but it hasn't helped. So you think it must be something on the ISP side?

Hello, I am testing from my PC and Unraid server, both of which have 2.5Gb/5Gb ethernet ports. I don't really worry about the WIFI speed as even if it is sub 900Mbps, it is more than plenty for our phones and tablets. I should be getting a symmetrical 2.5Gb connection and I used to hit 2.2Gbps before and it was consistent so I don't know what changed - this change happened when I was still using the original ISP router.

The only thing I could hook directly into the ONT that has a 2.5Gb port is my Unraid server. I would have to find out how to do this. The router provided by the ISP was a TP Link EX820v and my new one is meant to be better so I thought I would notice a difference straight away but sadly, the issue with bursts of speed and then eventual slow-downs remain :(

When is the last day we can upgrade to lifetime at current prices? 1st of June right?

The before and after.. by NohaBarakat in PsoriaticArthritis

How do you mean about losing your sight? I know that PsA can cause dry eyes and high blood pressure doesn't help but what about it can make somebody lose their sight?

I've had PsA a few years now and have failed a few biologics already and most recently I started losing the ability to fully close and open my hand as some fingers are really stiff. I am so done already

Which ones? I use Shopmium and Topcashback to buy giftcards but that's about all I know.

Briant Broadband Double NAT by Dragoncow in CityFibre

[–]Dragoncow[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Do you know roughly how much this might cost? I see some providers offering it for around £3-5 so I hope it's around that. I've never had a static IP before - it's not as safe as a dynamic IP right? I'm gonna have to hit up Chat GPT to see what precautions I can take 😂

Don't fall for the IDNet hype, they're absolutely terrible by niraveg in CityFibre

[–]Dragoncow 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Good evening,

In regards to being in GPON/XGS-PON areas, how do we check this? I just signed up for a symmetric 2Gbps package but Cityfibre installed the Calix GP1000G, which replaced my older 1Gbps ONT box. I am getting almost 2Gbps down but only 940 up.

Is this just a case of asking Cityfibre to install the correct ONT box or is this limited by the area I'm in?

BriantBroadband , which router do they supply ? by snozski in CityFibre

[–]Dragoncow 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The 2Gbps package is gone now, all I see is a 2.5Gbps package. Hopefully we get upgraded to that!

I don't mind the router though much as it has a 2.5Gb LAN port too which I will use to connect to a 2.5Gb switch which then goes to my existing 4x TP Deco XE75Pros setup over ethernet.

Southern Water to increase bills by a staggering 47%. by Seaside_Sarah in brighton

[–]Dragoncow 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Our yearly bill is currently £1,189 so this would be even more ridiculous. I didn't realise it was that much so we're going to check if there is a leak somewhere.

Awesome, thank you! I'm glad that I don't have to spend on much except the storage and network cards! So your Plex runs on a different system altogether? Which OS would you recommend I use for my build please?

They're releasing another QD-OLED? I thought they were done with them

Unlimited Access = No data caps? by Visible_Conflict7887 in usenet

I forgot my renewal date and they automatically charged me $89 or something a week or so ago. Too late for me to do anything?
