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