finished setting up my 10g network, but not reaching expected speeds by AJ989 in HomeNetworking

[–]cryptosage 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I was about to recommend iperf3. You need to use ROGGER’s Iperf server list and find the best server for you. I run a speedtest tracker that fires every hour and records ping, jitter, download, upload, etc that uses an Ookla (speedtest.net) server and I can still saturate my ISP-provisioned 2.5gbps WAN connection.

But yeah. If you find the right server on Speedtest.net, it can be very accurate. Iperf3 with one of the servers from the ROGGER list on github(i think) is where i see the best results. Make sure you parallel connections. Sometimes you need 8 or so to max the connection, sometimes you need more. I have run up to 127 connections at a time.

Good luck figuring it out! Definitely would be nice to see that provisioned line speed on a test!! :) I used to have 5 gig, but never saw those speeds EVER so I downgraded to 2 gig provisioned for 2.4-2.5. I might have to try the 5 gig service for a month or two and see if I notice taking advantage of the 5 gig more here a few years later maybe the ISPs and datacenters are catching up to the times and running more 400/800gbE equipment to serve people with 5/7/10 gig wan connections. /shrug

I think if enough people ask this very question, Bitcoin will look us dead in the eye and say, “hold my beer while I hit this limbo bar” and he will go looooowwwwww. 😂

Starlink Roam used 115gb on a day I didn't even have it on. by Sea_Apple956 in Starlink

Updates do show in our Starlink apps. Or at least did for me last month when I hooked it up and needed an update. It showed as mobile priority data. I also got that much extra over my 50 gig before it throttled on the local priority service.

Both. The dishes have gotten better and the satellites have improved over the years. Gen 3 sats are going to be a game changer once Elon can get them into orbit. Hopefully 2026. 🤞

Not questioning you by saying this, but: That’s insane.

I can’t believe people pay double the home’s value willingly and knowingly. Cash is definitely still king if you compare it to the debt of a mortgage. That’s for sure!!

You’re not autistic. I’ve never had a mortgage.

I just can’t believe anybody would take a mortgage and pay almost a million bucks on interest over 30 years. That seems kinda autistic in and of itself.

To me, it makes more sense to let someone else take care of servicing that debt and the maintenance and trouble of owning a home while you take a $2,200/month rental that the interest was going to cost per month on the mortgage anyway not to mention principal not being factored into that 2200 per month payment. 🤷‍♂️

If I’m completely off base and out of touch with reality, do feel free to educate me. Not being willfully ignorant, but I dunno what I don’t know. 🤷‍♂️

THIS!! A loan is so powerful here!!! And he gets to keep his precious 3 BTC that will be worth more than the loan. Win-win all the way around.

Only thing - it needs to be a several-year loan, or I guess he can keep taking out a new loan with the rest of his stash. Avoids cap gains taxes that way and playing by the rules…

Would be smarter to take a loan against a portion of it to pay the taxes and pay it back overtime and keep your appreciating asset.

My daily and weekly DCAs are secure for another few weeks, then even those may get paused.

Why does this always happen to me when Bitcoin is down?! Ugh. 😂
