[WISPA] Internet Speed test..are they inaccurate with wireless?
We mostly deal with business customer and guarantee bandwidth to customers. We validate the bandwidth using IPERF from a Linux server off of our BGP edge routers down to the customer and IPERF always shows the customer getting the bandwidth they signed up for. We use QoS to control bandwidth and make sure to not oversubscribe any one linksmall ratios of 3:1. Of course eventually at some point the customer runs one of those stupid bandwidth test on the Internet and the results are woefully inaccurate (not in our favor)...but of course customers take the results as gospel. AAA! It's not our internet connections, we have three 100Mbps BGP links and none of them run at more then 50% during peak loads. Has anyone else found those Internet speed test to be woefully inaccurate? Or is something else going on that I'm missing?

Re: [WISPA] Internet Speed test..are they inaccurate with wireless?
You're going to get a bunch of people bashing the tests, but there's generally a reason for a low number. It very well could be nothing on your network, but it's still a problem that needs to be addressed, especially if that is a common testing point in your area.

Re: [WISPA] Internet Speed test..are they inaccurate with wireless?
Well, It really depends. We found them to be extremely inconsistent. We actually host a speedtest.net server just for this reason. We found on very fast connections (Like.. 100Mb/s and above) that they are completely inaccurate. Where is on normal connections (10-30Mb/s) they seem to be pretty close. We take iperf (Or mikrotik speedtest) results over all else. That being said, We generally find when the site based speed tests are extremely low for multiple users there is normally a problem. Even if its hard to see at first. Have this customer test to a few different locations. Then let him download a large zip file from your own network (Like a webserver off your BGP edge routers) and compare.

Re: [WISPA] Internet Speed test..are they inaccurate with wireless?
Bret: We have found that the tests are fairly accurate (well speedtest.net anyhow), BUT only in controlled environments. Your end user is probably running these tests when their Internet is slow. Viola look I am right it is slow, xyz speed test says so! What he does not realize is that Johnny intern in the warehouse has set his computer up to grab torrents for him while he picks stock and then just dumps the off to flash before heading out. Ok, that is just one example, but all sorts of other traffic can come into play. We tell our customers that we are not at all interested in speed tests unless we have a support person on the line watching their link for other types of traffic as well during the test. We also host their speedtest.net mini (free) on own of our own servers so that we can eliminate any Internet oddness causing problems with the results. The mini however only seems accurate up to about 25-30 Mbps in our experience at which point the results are only ballpark at best. Ookla claims mini is good until about 50 Mbps, but that has not been our experience. Just what we have experienced with speedtest results. Larry A.

Re: [WISPA] Internet Speed test..are they inaccurate with wireless?
We are lucky as most speedtest.net servers are within 2ms of us. (Probably because we are in two main colos.) Ran one on my desktop at the office yesterday for a prospect and pulled 88 Mbps/92 Mbps from my 100Base-T connected desktop. We are 3 wireless hops from some tests and 5 from others. There is one speedtest.net site that sucks from our network. And it seems to be the one the customers get all the time. Once they get any other server, it's fine. ___ Wireless mailing list Wireless@wispa.org http://lists.wispa.org/mailman/listinfo/wireless

Re: [WISPA] Internet Speed test..are they inaccurate with wireless?
Two points - 1. Customer education. I think it's the job of each WISP to educate their customers that the Internet is a huge network with multiple hops needed to get anywhere. Yes; I know it seems stupid to us to have to do this but much of the public is just not aware so we need to help them understand. 2. Local and "Beyond Local" Testing - As part of our customer education, we need to set up a local (at our NOC) speed test and a "beyond our NOC" speed test link. That way, we can train the customer to a) check approx. throughput to our NOC, and b) check approx. throughput beyond our NOC. jack On 8/21/2012 12:22 PM, Bret Clark wrote: We mostly deal with business customer and guarantee bandwidth to customers. We validate the bandwidth using IPERF from a Linux server off of our BGP edge routers down to the customer and IPERF always shows the customer getting the bandwidth they signed up for. We use QoS to control bandwidth and make sure to not oversubscribe any one linksmall ratios of 3:1. Of course eventually at some point the customer runs one of those stupid bandwidth test on the Internet and the results are woefully inaccurate (not in our favor)...but of course customers take the results as gospel. AAA! It's not our internet connections, we have three 100Mbps BGP links and none of them run at more then 50% during peak loads. Has anyone else found those Internet speed test to be woefully inaccurate? Or is something else going on that I'm missing?

Re: [WISPA] Internet Speed test..are they inaccurate with wireless?
The visualware servers are Accurate and u can deploy them on your network as well. The Dulles,va server is located off the ashburn peering point so that's the one I always use and suggest.

Please make your payment by this deadline. It continues to provide information on logging into their portal and making a payment. Is this legitimate or is it someone who pulled my info from the FCC somehow and is sending a bogus bill in hopes I'll just pay it? I have heard other WISP mention similar scams on the list. We did just start filing 477499 recently so maybe it's a legitimate expense I was unaware of?
