| hads | ajmitch: Nope, I've raised a fault with Snap who've raised it with Chorus etc. | 00:51 |
|---|---|---|
| ajmitch | hads: that's not a great start | 01:01 |
| hads | No not super. They told me to test with this file; http://aspired.co.nz/Snap%20Test%20Download%20-%201GB - I get around 1MB/s | 01:03 |
| * ajmitch gets about line speed of 1.8M/sec on snap DSL for that | 01:04 | |
| mwhudson | 3.5 ish mb/s for me here | 01:04 |
| hads | Yeah so I'm slower than both of you on UFB :) | 01:05 |
| ajmitch | heh | 01:05 |
| mwhudson | i'm on a pretty serious connection here :-) | 01:05 |
| mwhudson | allegedly 50/50 i think | 01:05 |
| hads | Nice, business fibre? | 01:05 |
| mwhudson | yeah | 01:05 |
| * ajmitch is on boring old adsl2+ at home, syncing at about 18Mbps at the moment | 01:05 | |
| hads | My Telecom DSL is faster than my fibre :) | 01:06 |
| mwhudson | this lot http://www.vibecommunications.co.nz/ | 01:06 |
| ajmitch | hads: let's hope it's just a simple chorus screwup :) | 01:06 |
| hads | Hope so. I think I'll argue the 12 month contract if they can't fix it. | 01:07 |
| ajmitch | it certainly isn't providing near the service offered | 01:07 |
| mwhudson | what tech is ufb? | 01:07 |
| hads | GPON | 01:07 |
| ajmitch | GPON | 01:07 |
| hads | Perhaps it is the 90 degree corner they put in the fibre... | 01:07 |
| ibeardslee | about 1.7M/s on my telstraclear cable | 01:08 |
| mwhudson | ok | 01:08 |
| hads | It's not a commited rate or anything, all EIR except for 2.5mbit usable by tagged traffic. | 01:08 |
| hads | 2.5mbit "high priority" | 01:08 |
| ajmitch | getting 10% of advertised speed is still pretty bad | 01:08 |
| ajmitch | I hope you don't mean they put in a 90 degree sharp corner, rather than one of those curved ducts? | 01:09 |
| hads | There is a standard old white PVC 90 degree bend on the wall where they put the ONT | 01:10 |
| ibeardslee | about 3.5 at work (bumped over 4 and under 3) | 01:10 |
| ajmitch | easier to fix that than a buried duct | 01:10 |
| hads | The ones they buried are all nice curved ones. | 01:11 |
| hads | Looks like whereever that file is hosted isn't that fast anyway. | 01:11 |
| ajmitch | you sure? | 01:11 |
| ajmitch | I can download it at 70MB/sec from auckland | 01:12 |
| hads | No not sure at all, just going by what people were getting on their fancy connections. 70B/s is fine :) | 01:12 |
| ajmitch | Downloaded: 1 files, 1.0G in 18s (57.4 MB/s) | 01:12 |
| ajmitch | server at sitehost | 01:12 |
| ajmitch | slow start is a pain on such small files :) | 01:13 |
| hads | Hmm. My server at sitehost only gets 10MB/s Why is yours better. | 01:13 |
| ajmitch | new dedicated server set up last week | 01:14 |
| hads | Oh, Gigabit. Mine is 100Mbit | 01:14 |
| ajmitch | also looks to be different datacentre | 01:14 |
| ajmitch | assuming you're talking about the nicegear server | 01:15 |
| hads | Yeah, same physical. | 01:15 |
| hads | I think my IP range is from their older allocation. | 01:16 |
| ajmitch | mtr to yours shows it going out to FX & APE | 01:16 |
| hads | Interesting | 01:16 |
| ibeardslee | hmm from rimuhosting mine started off hitting 8 and now is about 4 | 01:16 |
| hads | Not surprised, they are Hosting Direct :) | 01:17 |
| ajmitch | heh | 01:17 |
| ajmitch | ^ why I went with sitehost instead :) | 01:17 |
| ojwb | hads: i seem to be getting 7MB/s or so from France, so your UFB connection is 1/7 the speed you get from the other side of the planet... | 01:22 |
| hads | haha | 01:22 |
| ojwb | average was 5.71MB/s overall | 01:22 |
| hads | I can get 3.4MB/s to SiteHost from here which is faster than the test Snap gave, about the fastest I've seen it. | 01:48 |
| ajmitch | what sort of latency to the snap test site? | 01:49 |
| hads | ~4ms | 01:50 |
| ibeardslee | http://www.extremetech.com/extreme/141651-caltech-and-uvic-set-339gbps-internet-speed-record | 01:50 |
| ajmitch | so it's not like they're routing everything through auckland | 01:51 |
| ajmitch | ~9ms for me on DSL | 01:51 |
| hads | After disabling sync in Chromium everything is much faster. | 03:25 |
| hads | (nothing to do with network speeds we were talking about) | 03:25 |
| hads | Previously there were random pauses and lots of very slow loading sites which should be fast. | 03:25 |
| hads | Turns out there's an issue in 12.10 between Chromium and Gnome Keyring | 03:26 |
| ajmitch | odd | 03:27 |
| ajmitch | though I've only been using chromium on 12.04 | 03:27 |
| * ajmitch has had firefox occasionally be very slow though | 03:27 | |
| hads | Something to do with a large profile & saved passwords and gnome-keyring. I'll hunt out the bug. | 03:31 |
| hads | Not sure if it's this exact bug but disabling sync fixes the issue; | 03:42 |
| hads | https://code.google.com/p/chromium/issues/detail?id=98601 | 03:42 |
| ojwb | hmm, the house they're building near us now has a satellite dish, but it doesn't seem to be pointing very near north | 03:43 |
| hads | I'm going to re-enable syncing sans passwords and see if that changes things. | 03:46 |
| ojwb | morning | 16:25 |
| ojwb | i wish the local tui dawn chorus had more of a grasp of when dawn was | 16:26 |
| ibeardslee | heh | 18:17 |
| ibeardslee | morning | 18:17 |
| mwhudson | morning | 18:21 |
| ojwb | upgrading to precise today | 18:23 |
| ojwb | so far it has asked me 4 times if I'd like to set a root password for mysql | 18:24 |
| ibeardslee | heh | 18:24 |
| Atamira | morning | 18:24 |
| chilts | morning | 18:30 |
| chilts | ojwb: just say no so you can't use it, you life will be betterer | 18:30 |
| ojwb | i have | 18:30 |
| ojwb | it's quite persistent though | 18:30 |
| chilts | :( | 18:31 |
| chilts | apt-get purge *mysql* | 18:31 |
| chilts | if only that worked | 18:31 |
| chilts | oh, don't do that if you have data you want to keep :) | 18:32 |
| ojwb | thanks for the tip... | 18:32 |
| chilts | heh | 18:32 |
| ojwb | it's what mythtv uses by default | 18:32 |
| chilts | I know you already know this | 18:32 |
| ojwb | so not totally valuable data, but it avoids it recording stuff we've seen before | 18:32 |
| ojwb | sometimes anyway | 18:33 |
| chilts | that's reasonably valuable | 18:39 |
| ojwb | hads: i tried the snap download earlier (we get free data midnight-8am) and averaged 650 KB/s on xnet DSL, with a few other minor downloads during that time, so you're beating me | 18:50 |
| ojwb | though the rate I get in the free window may not be typical... | 18:51 |
| ojwb | hmm, the global menu's annoying with a trackpad and a large screen | 19:08 |
| ajmitch | morning | 19:16 |
