ever notice that Ookla speed test is rigged as fucked?
>>107265778Somewhere in your ISP's routing, they prioritze packets to Ookla speedtest to swindle you.If Ookla was smart, they would offer a VPN service tunneled over HTTPs on the same IP.
NopeEspecially since the google fiber speedtest uses Ookla
>>107265778speed.cloudflare.com/
>>107265813this is what I useseems to be mostly accurate
>>107265813>>107265866The test sucks for higher speeds due to the tiny file size limit they use.How does it makes sense to max out at 250MB file size when some people have 500-1000MB/s+ internet.There is simply no chance for faster connections to stretch their legs. Pic related, it doesn't even show anything beyond 1gbps.
>>107265904fast.com is better
>>107265927that says I have 2gb downI do not

>>107265813Wait, is this what they use to ddos people? You think it's just a regular speed test but they're really using you to fuck with someone?
>>107265778I just host a Tor node with throttling off

>>107265904>1000MB/s+ internet.>stretch their legs.you talk as though internet is a runner in a race, as though computers are surprised by having to serve you files, that they have a reaction time and need to collect their thoughts.which is true actually, servers are doing lots of other things while also sending a file to you, gig internet is approaching speeds which the connection is no longer the bottleneck. so it depends what you really want to test. either you want a real world file download speed which is what this is, or you want network speed in which case you should run several different requests to several different services and servers so that the network connection itself is saturated instead of the server.but you don't care about any of that, all you want is a big number to show off online to people who couldn't care less except they want to brag about their big number too. which by the way, the big number has practically zero impact on you unless you are retarded.
>>107266009How is it real world?I get real world game downloads at well above 1gbps from multiple sources: Steam, EA, Microsoft, Rockstar, Blizzard, etc.
>>107266030>>107266009But of course, YOUR real world is obviously more "real" and valid than my own personally experienced real world downloads.
>>107266009Yeah I would never pay extra for speeds over 250 mbps
>>107265978>click nothing>#/what causes this? lead piping?
>>107265948its cloudfare, just by posting this you already sent them all your data
>>107265961What in the fuck. What's weirder it works fine without any of them.
>3 providers of fiber in my town and 1 new one installing more fiber but still not in my block>wanna try something different so switch providers>ping almost 20ms higher to some servers, some 10ms lowerThis is one of those weird cases were they route the internet out of state and then back right, I shouldn't have done that im locked into a 6 months contract now.
>>107266281lollmao evenpay the ETF
>>107265778Yeah I noticed this when I was like 10 years old retard.Use Fast.com
>>107265813>>107265927This and Netflix's fast.com both vastly under-estimate my speed. I pay for 2 gigabit and I get that when using steam or huggingface or torrents. Both of these "better" tests think I only have 150 Mbps and it can't just be my ISP throttling because I get higher than that to and through Cloudflare IPs daily.
>>107266314Do you live in a third world shithole? Your ISP might be throttling netflix specifically.
>>107266368If I lived in a third-world shithole how would I have 2 gig internet? Also what does my ISP have to gain from throttling Netflix.
>>107266385so netflix traffic isnt eating 99% of their bandwidth
>>107266385Idk, maybe you live in Germany where ISPs demand blood money from companies to get fast internet traffic to their customers.https://coffee.link/vodafone-germany-is-changing-the-open-internet-one-peering-connection-at-a-time/
>>107266030>>107266044like i said, big number only matters if you are a retard.cdn is a fraction of the internet, sorry your view is so limited to bloated aaa games? go play. have fun.
>>107266531Ah so you're ACTUALLY retarded.We're talking about home internet here kiddo, what the fuck do you think MOST people use their HOME internet for?Media
>>107266554Yes and work internet has much lower requirements still.
>>107266531>cdn is a fraction of the internetfrog laugh pngyall dumb>>107266554Most apparently high file size downloads over the internet are actually chunked and it has no noticeable speed penalty these days Don't know about steam but aria2 for example is chunking downloads on top of parallelizing connections and it's still the fastest way of downloading things
this is about 10X reality, so yes they lie$50/mo T-mobile 5G with 5/5 signal strength.Oversubscribed? of course! (((rubs hands)))
>>107265962No.The mechanics of the operation do not support this posit. But it *could* be a platform...>>107266148It's almost as if a large percentage of every page load is actually satisfying some agenda over delivering content...>>107266281>they route the internet out of state and then back right,Commonly ISP's consolidate traffic to *their* backbone gateway...>ping almost 20ms higher to some servers, some 10ms lowerResponse time is variable, and based on a *lot* of factors... Up until that gateway, the route *should* be the same, ish. Played with something like MTR?That gateway, or around it, is also commonly where ISPs like to fuck with traffic.>>107266554>what the fuck do you think MOST people use their HOME internet for?>MediaI think most retards use their internet for media. There's an equal bandwidth cost to streaming and downloading, but with downloading subsequent access can happen locally. Vastly shaving off bandwidth (As can running a squid) consumption. At a decent transfer rate, you should be able to get several hours of content per hour... So unless you're wasting literally 90% of that...
>>107269854Run wireshark on that, to see just how much t(roll)-mobile are fucking with your traffic?The network can do it. But, oversold, can't allow people to get what they've paid for, that's "unreasonable use".
>>107265778Anything and everything on the internet is rigged and botted? I'm shocked
>>107269953It's almost as if spastics spent the better part of three decades doubling down on every retardation with a shiny glint...Starting with accepting adverts...
>>107266009I don't understand what these people even could even use these extreme download/upload speeds for anyway practically. How many times are you actually going to be downloading/uploading hundreds of gigabytes? If you are downloading something to install/compile, that process will take much much longer. If you are uploading videos or something, its even more skewed. That shit is going to take for fucking ever in comparison. And these retards are probably paying 100$ a month for that le hecking gigabyte speed when they could just save that money for a year and buy a good gpu.
>>107265778Of course. ISP's make sure Ookla speedtest runs flawlessly so that they can gaslight you about their shitty service.>t. australian>>107269974My household uses about 7TB a month.
>>107269948full disclosure, that was on Sunday at like 3 pm, but still. I couldn't do anything with my "internet service" for most of the day, and I feel absolutely ripped off. At what threshold does this become a legal issue, breach of contract, unacceptable terms, etc, but the gov't is all in defense of big corporate profits not consumers, so is this just a losing battle. What am I going to do, wait in a queue for 45 min to talk to Pajeet who will apologize?Its all so tiresome
>>107269974>I don't understand what these people even could even use these extreme download/upload speeds for anyway practically.People is such a strong term, don't attempt to humaize them.The retards are wasting the bandwith on media. Two, four, nine devices. All streaming 720p minimal. Soon adds up. And because literally they are that imbecilic they can *only* consume, the traffic continues indefinitely...
>>107270006>At what threshold does this become a legal issue, breach of contract, unacceptable terms, etc, but the gov't is all in defense of big corporate profits not consumers, so is this just a losing battle.Pretty much. Best I can offer is map out their infrastructure and smash it. Leave your digital technology at home. They'll put in newer equipment, so the service *should* improve. Or the continual outlay with have them out of business.What they really don't take into account when they fuck people over, en mass, like this - is that they are very outnumbered. Doesn't take much organisation and suddenly they don't have any working equipment. Globally. But generally people will rather faggot it up and keep paying them.
>>107270050smash their shit! got it, I know of 3 towers within range, they are all heavily guarded with huge fences topped with barbed wire. might be electrified? surely there are cams. plan of action?
>>107270050>netflix addict faces minor convenience> "best" solution he can think of is commit a felony instead of just submitting a complaintAre you really this low iq?
>>107270079Unlikely electrified - unsure of legalities of this in your jurisdiction tho.Fences don't tend to be significant barriers. Can defeat barbed wire with a welcome mat, tho I'd be staying ground level and just going thru it, myself.Cams are entirely possible. Easily defeated with hood/mask. A crucial difference between your eyes and a camera sensor is your eyes heal - otherwise laser has pretty much the same effect, the sort of cheap chinese shit that can pop a baloon is quite likely white out that sensor and retain long after the laser is removed...These sort of sites also tend to have some sort of backup generator. I'm sure that won't be cheap.
>>107270102It's not just 'minor conveniences' tho. Historically I've recorded all manner of incredibly shady shit from these cunts. More than the average ways the ISP tends to fuck with it.It's only a felony where you are, chump, are you really this low IQ? Also. It's only a felony if you get caught.As for submitting a complaint. I've tried that. Did that stop the injected SYN,FIN packets ***PRETENDING TO BE MY SERVER***. Neither did ombudsman complaints.So, what options are there left? I'm sure you would consider bending over and taking it. I just made sure they paid out a lot more than they took from me and never see any of my money again.
This thread reminds me of the time working for an ISP where I had to explain to a customer that ookla (that was running off a server in our offices) was more reliable than ther ones which run off of servers in god knows where. And that we can only guarantee speeds within our own network i.e. what an ookla speed test off of our server tests.
>>107270159>was more reliable than ther ones which run off of servers in god knows where.Whilst casually omitting it'll be skewed to 'real world' results because technically it's routing across your internal network and not touching "the internet". When I'm pulling 20megabit/second from a server I *know* doesn't struggle pushing 97megabyte/second, it's odd that MTR would show the bottleneck to be with the ISP...
>>107270113I love it when AI purposefully baits me into committing felonies. Nice try!Who pays you again? Oh, right...
>>107270145Okay so you are actually just mentally ill. My condolences.
>>107270242I pay me. You'd know what that was like if you'd not spent your life bending over and taking it.>>107270244Some have accused this. The seperator is being able to back up the words with evidence. But you can think what you think. It's what I know that matters.
>>107265813Shows me within 5% of the same speeds as OOKLA, which is explained by OOKLA having servers in my city, while cloudflare apparently doesn’t.

>>10726997420 years ago you go to a store and buy a game on disk, buy a film on dvd. you want to play it you put the disk in. you want to watch you put the disk in.today if you want to play vidya you have to subscribe to a service. if you want to play a game you have to download it to your console over the internet. since graphics are now most important aspect of games and disk size isn't limiting factor, games now are hundreds of GB. but your console only has maybe 1TB storage if you are lucky. so maybe you can have 8 or so games on your console ready to play. if you want to play something else you have to download it again. film is much worse, because you don't store it at all. you still pay a subscription and you still dont own anything, but to watch a film it is streamed from cdn every single time.also if you are a zoomer and can't bear to live in your own head you probably need to have twitch running in the background constantly even though you aren't watching or listening to it. just for background noise. and twitch actually specifically advises against vbr encoding, they tell you to use cbr encoding so no matter what you are watching, could be a static image, the bit rate, the download size, is the largest possible.thats why i said retards only, if you enjoy modern vidya, streaming services, watching other idiots, your bandwidth is sky high and its all from cdn.>>107270036not long now until there is no reason for them to go outside at all. to even move outside of their cupboards. just plugged into the matrix getting pumped full of slop. the roles are entirely reversed.
