Can you please let me know your download speed from these test files?

[nrep]

I'm having some problems troubleshooting a speed problem with my hosting company, and I'd be grateful if I could get a selection of download speed test results (and MTR / tracert results) from the following site. It would also be useful to let me know if that is saturating your connection, so I don't mistake low speeds.

http://speedtest.hivelocity.net

I'm only getting ~800kb/s, which is really slow for my connection, so I think the problem may be with their network rather than my server. If I could get other users to verify this, it will give me something to show them.

Thank you .

The 100MB file was around 2-3MB/s

 

[nrep]

Thanks Rob - is your connection normally faster than that? I forgot to ask in my OP, so I've edited it now.

 

[RobParker]

It's 200mb/s so if the server is fast enough I can get over 20MB/s but that's rare. 2-3MB/s is probably what I'd expect.

Hivelocity is really slow. Tested from ReliableSite dedicated server in NY.

 

[nrep]

Thanks, yup - Hivelocity does seem really slow from what I can tell. @Jake B. seems to get much better speeds from his HV server, so I wonder if it's just from my particular datacentre.

250-350KB/s from a standard UK sky broadband connection.

Similar speeds from my UK-based VPS.

I think this issue has now been fixed - TCP auto-tuning was disabled on the server for some reason. Now enabled and running and full speed (for my server at least) .

Thanks folks . The server problem is now fixed.
