Hello,
I am confused by what my Internet bandwidth really is and how to measure it.
I noticed that I had some problems with slow Internet. I did not expect
this since
I am supposedly getting 2.5Gbps from Netvision.
I looked around on the Internet and found <http://www.abeltronica.com/>
which
allegedly allows me to measure my download and upload bandwidth.
Using the above I got as little as 500Mbps, up to 1.4Gbps as my
Internet download
speed, depending on time-of day and location to which the measurement
was made.
I then contacted Netvision who asked me to download a large file from
their site
<http://cables2.netvision.net>. This download "settled" at about
250Mbytes/sec in
the first third of the download -- Netvision said this proves that the
2.5Gbps is
indeed being provided.
I am wondering if the Netvision-supplied bandwidth for Internet
connections is really
in the order of 1.3-1.4 Gbps, maximum, and the extra bandwidth being
supplied (i.e, the
difference between 2.5Gbps and the bandwidth measured through
abeltronica) is
not really useful to me in accessing the Internet.
I would appreciate any guidance, including a directed RTFM, on this subject.
Thank you.
Nathan
