Thank you!

@@plaintextpackets I second this!

Agreed!

100%

Thanks, will do!

Great!

I wish they would let you choose download and upload independently 🫤

I believe they do but you should still be able to tell which ones have the best performance, if you were thinking of switching or trying others in parallel

Good explanation

High praise! Thank you so much. I should turn the first 30s into a short

@@plaintextpackets if you do, put an +enticing+ overlay on the last 10 or 15 seconds to hype the full length feature. Nice discussion, BTW. Consider we have Gigabit fiber. It only goes down if our router goes down. We had a cable internet vendor, C****st - the big one, whose service delivered ~ 40 to 100Mb/s, once peaked @ 150. Cable cost more than Gigabit fiber. It shows peak delivery of 950Mb/s. Packet loss is typically approaching->0. We never saturate the service, usually not close. OTOH, it is so snappy! It comes w/ HBO-Max Premium. Subtract the cost of that and the price == 500Mb/s fiber service, so that we could saturate, but it’s a seeming deal. The cable-provider’s service was frequently affected by wind and especially by rain! We could lose any service for 3 to 5 days if it rained hard! Throw in an ice-storm (Atlanta area, SE United States where ice is unusual) and you’re stuch @Home (hey, the name of their service!) for up to a week with no internet, tv, or VOIP! There’s ya some packetloss, 100%. Holidays, esp. Thanksgiving in the states, we tend to see the most load balancing - I can’t quite say it’s wrong given the sudden volume of use, and that C****st would simply go down - stop providing any usable signal for internet or TV for most of the day! I suppose they balanced their over-provisioned load by serving priority customers (*higher end packages & businesses) with their available bandwidth while us suckers were left to jam the (holiday, remember) understaffed support lines: “have you tried rebooting the router?” and “try control + alt +delete” and best of all, “would you uninstall Netscape and try Explorer?”…”we can have a network engineer out to your address next week, but if they don’t find a fault with our equipment we’ll have to bill you at the service rate.” So, there are more than simply 3 technical factors to determine the quality of your internet service; yes, bandwidth, latency & packet loss, but also continuity of service, cost/month of the package, service responsiveness (*which ideally you’ll never need to find out!), even the wuality of the equipment provided can be an influence on the decision. Also consider downstream AND upstream bandwidt provision: fiber Gigabit is symmetrical-750+ down AND 750+ up. It’s basically ok to run a non-commercial server!

Full tutorial coming soon

Thanks!

Iperf can pull similar stats but not sure you can run it 24x7, and it does not have a database to store the metrics natively

Have you contacted the ISP? If they've swapped everything at your house sounds like it would either be outdoor cabling issues or perhaps something farther upstream at the ISP

@@plaintextpackets I assumed the same after many weeks/months of drop outs and test. Last week I relocated the modem closer to the incoming coax source and the issue is apparently solved! :) I tried a signal booster but that didn't help, the cable its self must have internal damage. Thanks for your confirmed, it motivated me to move the modem, I wanted it inhouse, but we have to do what's needed sometimes, at-least til I have it fixed properly

Dope

Great point

and pay through the nose accordingly

That sounds typical of cable internet to have a max upload speed of around 50mbit. You’d need to switch to an ISP with fully symmetric fiber optic (like FiOS here in the USA) to get better upload speeds.

@@SalivatingSteve Imagine having fiber in germany. I have a choice between 100mbit over phonelines and 1gbit over cable

First step is to detect it’s happening. Then start with your existing ISP to complain about the connection. If that doesn’t go anywhere try another ISP

@@plaintextpackets Thanks a ton sir/madam.

Thanks! 👍

Unfortunately I don’t have a version that works without docker. But I would highly recommend installing it, it’s super easy

@@plaintextpacketsmy processor do not have a hyper visor can’t run docker

Both?

Sure 2 routers inline.😸No I just tinker and have become obsessed lowering latency etc . Your videos are DOPE thank you
