[00:51] <hads> ajmitch: Nope, I've raised a fault with Snap who've raised it with Chorus etc.
[01:01] <ajmitch> hads: that's not a great start
[01:03] <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
[01:04]  * 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
[01:05] <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
[01:06] <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 :)
[01:07] <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...
[01:08] <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
[01:09] <ajmitch> I hope you don't mean they put in a 90 degree sharp corner, rather than one of those curved ducts?
[01:10] <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
[01:11] <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?
[01:12] <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
[01:13] <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.
[01:14] <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
[01:15] <ajmitch> assuming you're talking about the nicegear server
[01:15] <hads> Yeah, same physical.
[01:16] <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
[01:17] <hads> Not surprised, they are Hosting Direct :)
[01:17] <ajmitch> heh
[01:17] <ajmitch> ^ why I went with sitehost instead :)
[01:22] <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
[01:48] <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.
[01:49] <ajmitch> what sort of latency to the snap test site?
[01:50] <hads> ~4ms
[01:50] <ibeardslee> http://www.extremetech.com/extreme/141651-caltech-and-uvic-set-339gbps-internet-speed-record
[01:51] <ajmitch> so it's not like they're routing everything through auckland
[01:51] <ajmitch> ~9ms for me on DSL
[03:25] <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.
[03:26] <hads> Turns out there's an issue in 12.10 between Chromium and Gnome Keyring
[03:27] <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
[03:31] <hads> Something to do with a large profile & saved passwords and gnome-keyring. I'll hunt out the bug.
[03:42] <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
[03:43] <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
[03:46] <hads> I'm going to re-enable syncing sans passwords and see if that changes things.
[16:25] <ojwb> morning
[16:26] <ojwb> i wish the local tui dawn chorus had more of a grasp of when dawn was
[18:17] <ibeardslee> heh
[18:17] <ibeardslee> morning
[18:21] <mwhudson> morning
[18:23] <ojwb> upgrading to precise today
[18:24] <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
[18:30] <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
[18:31] <chilts> :(
[18:31] <chilts> apt-get purge *mysql*
[18:31] <chilts> if only that worked
[18:32] <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
[18:33] <ojwb> sometimes anyway
[18:39] <chilts> that's reasonably valuable
[18:50] <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
[18:51] <ojwb> though the rate I get in the free window may not be typical...
[19:08] <ojwb> hmm, the global menu's annoying with a trackpad and a large screen
[19:16] <ajmitch> morning
