Download speeds in practical terms

If you are getting 60mb/s download speeds with your broadband service, how long should 1gb file take to download (in theory)?

Yes, 23GB will take along time on any connection even if you are hitting 70000Kbps Downstream, so if that helps you!. Click on this link for speeds, then this will give you an idea of how long a 23GB will take to download.

  • Loss of download speed using airport extreme and express.

    I have Wifi using an Airport extreme base station and an airport express extender.  However, the download speed drops from 21 Mbps to 8 Mbps. Any suggestions to boost the express other than an ethernet connection which would be difficult.

    Temporarily, power down the AirPort Express and take speed measurement at that exact location.
    Whatever that is.....likely in the 8-10 Mpbs range......is what the Express will try to "extend".
    In other words, the Express can only extend the bandwidth or speed that it receives. It cannot make the connection that it receives go any faster. In that regard, the term "repeater" is probably a more accurate description of what the Express is trying to accomplish.
    If you want the Express to extend faster speeds, then it must be located closer to the AirPort Extreme. In addition, anything that you can do to reduce any obstructions in the signal path between the AirPorts will help.
    Ideally, you want a line-of-sight relationship between the AirPorts to help reduce the amount of speed loss that occurs with any wireless connection.

  • Re: BT Infinity 2 IP Profile - Download Speed "Cap...

    My BT Infinity 2 IP Profile has been consistently the same for nearly 2 years since I first signed-up for it and became available in my area, i.e. Upload Speed (US) = Up to 20 Mbps  / Download Speed (DS) = Up to 77.47 Mbps.  I was regularly getting US = 14-17 Mbps / DS = 73-75 Mbps.  Upon doing regular speed checks on my line using the BT Wholesale site, about 4 weeks ago, I noticed my IP Profile DS was reduced to/capped at (Up to) 65.74 Mbps.  Since, I have been receiving the same US as before but DS = 62-64 Mbps.
    FYI, I have attached two screenshots but I am reluctant to give my phone number openly on here so can you provide a means for me to send it privately please.
    I initially contacted BT Broadband Faults a few times, they did the usual bull**bleep** basic checks to make sure it wasn't my equipment and to give it 10 days to see if it was DLM.  I even hooked up a BT HH5 router to ensure any further line testing was done by the BT book.  After several days, it was evident it wasn't DLM despite BT Broadband Faults insistence to give it several more days until around 11.04.15, to which I did.  By this time, it was crystal clear it was not DLM and Broadband Faults were obtuse upon my persistence that I wanted the specific reason as to why my DS had been reduced/capped by 11 Mbps, and tried to palm me off with excuses such as "copper wire degredation". They refused to contact OpenReach or report it to them.
    Note, I had a phone line fault in early Feb 2015 which the OpenReach Telephone Engineer changed lines to fix the fault at my local cabinet.  I was their when he did this and showed me that there weren't many Infinity customers locally.  My line speeds remained the same after and all stable.  I can rule out cross-talk.
    I have made 3 complaints via the BT portal regarding this issue and all resulting call-backs have originated from India. Not one can categorically tell me the specific reason why I have, in essence, had my DS capped.  Just the usual bull**bleep** guesses by people not technically qualified to make such diagnoses.  All have been obtuse and said that my current DS remains within the terms of my contract, blah, and refuse to give me a reduction in price of my BT bill.  I accept this is correct, but they will NOT tell me the exact reason why my DS has been reduced/capped!!!!
    I do not think it is unreasonable to demand to know the specific reason why the product I pay for has been reduced without an honest explanation why.
    Please can you look into my case and any feedback would be much appreciated as this frustrating me a lot.

    Sounds like you are being affected by the G.INP rollout to Huawei cabs but the modem being incompatible with it.

  • Observed download speed vs speed checkers

    Hello everyone,
    I am a new BT Unlimited Broadband customer, though I am not new to broadband nor the technical side of the internet. I have been using a BT Home Hub 4 for around a month now without disconnection problems.
    We live in a new build area and thus Infinity is not available to us at the moment. Our estimated (by BT) and reported (by various speed checkers, including BT's own two) download speed is 7 - 10Mbps, usually around 8. The Home Hub reports 10.x Mbps for download.
    In contrast, our observed download speed (as tested using various large sample files across several protocols) is actually consistently 1Mbps.
    I'd like to draw on the collective wisdom of forum contributors and ask for advice on the following question:
    Can you think of any practical reasons, assuming ideal conditions on my end, why our actual download speed would be so much less than the reported download speed?
    Thanks

  • Puzzle of download speeds

    Is it normal to experience greatly different download speeds from different sites and with different applications? 
    I have run BT speed check a couple of times and it indicates download speeds of between 4000Kbps and 6500Kbps which would be great if only I could achieve that in practice.  On a particular site trying to download a 650 Mb video the best I get is 50Kbps so it is just a waste of time.  This is consistent on this particular site.  Trying to download BBCi videos is a bit better but still poor with speeds of about 200Kbps.  I get a similar result when down loading software packages, about 200Kbs seems to be normal.  But attachments to email seem to down load in the Mbps range and generally Internet connection and video streaming is quite acceptable.
     I am using Norton Internet security and connect to the BT hub by Ethernet.
    Any pointers would be appreciated.

    Solved!

    I can only guess what that means.  But if I understand it the BT speed checker is telling my about the capacity of the bit of the pipe they control.  But a web based checker is telling me something about the end to end speed from their server to me given traffic conditions at the time of the test.  That sounds as if that should be more reflective of the service I can get.  But the relative merits of speed checkers is not really my question.  What I want to know is why the BT checker tells me I can get up to 6500Kbps and what I see on some sites is only 50Kbps.
    I think what I have been told in layman's language is that the upper limit is the theoretical capacity of the narrowest part of the pipe.  But what I am likely to experience will depend upon the output of the server of the service and congestion between it and me at the time of usage.  Also, which seems entirely plausible, that some services put restrictive limits on the output of their services for commercial or technical reasons.
    Many thanks

  • Download speed and jargon

    I am in dispute with a "Windows User" who says that it is impossible to download over the internet say a 60Mb (ie megabyte) file in under a minute - which is more than 1 megabyte per second? He feels I am just another crazy "Mac User" with no grip on reality.
    Firstly, it is possible, isn't it, for as far as I can see it happens often enough? For example from an Apple server, such as "Software Update". This may have been where the platform bias came in as I mentioned the Apple server to my friend - silly me!
    (By the way does "Software Update" cache downloads before they are needed? This would change the argument in this case.)
    Secondly, how can I obtain a log of downloads that my computer has done, giving time/sizes, or rate of download - which I know are two different things? (I'm OK to do basic stuff in "Terminal")
    Thirdly, what are the correct terms of size to remove any ambiguity or confusion. For example: download speeds are in say 56K or 1.5Mb (ie kilobits per second and megabits per second) where as file sizes are in say 60MB (ie megabyte)? (I've noticed capitalisation is used rather inconsistently?)
    Why does it all have to be so confusing?
    My internet is "ADSL 2+ 1500-24000 kbits/sec" (kilobits per second) - which is as far as my limited understanding of it all, will allow me to download 60MB in less than a minute given favourable other internet factors? I would presume a 4000 kbits/sec connection could do this?
    Is any of the above correct?
    Thanking in advance anyone that can help.

    It all depends upon how fast your broadband connection is, your modem, and your network devices. For example in Vancouver my Shaw cable connection is around 4.9 Mbits/sec or roughly 612,000 KBytes/sec download speed. In one minute I could download about 37 MBytes. To download 60 MBs in one minute would require about an 8 Mbits/sec pipe which is well within the capability of cable providers. Verizon's FIOS system is able to provide speeds of 15 Mbits/sec if you purchase their highest speed option, but their standard home service is about half that. A typical Motorola Surfboard modem has a maximum speed rating of around 20 Mbits/sec so that sort of sets the upper limit. 20 Mbits/sec is about 2.5 MBytes/sec or 150 MBs per minute.
    Caching is irrelevant because the data must be downloaded before it can be cached, so caching doesn't affect the actual data transfer speeds.
    So, the answer to your question is, Yes, it's quite feasible to download a 60 MB file in one minute. Of course this is also dependent upon the site from which you are downloading. They must be able to push the data out that fast, and not many do. At my Florida home my cable service provides a 7 Mbits/sec pipe. The fastest download I've seen was around 840 KBytes/sec or about 6.7 Mbits/sec - just under the service maximum. Given overhead I don't think it's possible to see a faster speed on that connection.
    Now, upload speeds are a different story. Most broadband services provide upload speeds between 256 and 512 Kbits/sec - 32 to 64 KBytes/sec. In one minute the best you could hope for would be an upload of 3.8 MBytes.
    As you can see the discussion has to specify whether you're uploading or downloading.
    I'm not sure how you're stating your DSL service, but if it truly is "1500-24000 kbits/sec" then you would be better off using a telephone modem. Most telephone modems are rated at 56000 Kbits/sec which is twice as fast as your DSL! That leads me to believe that you aren't providing the correct values.
    None of this is all that confusing since it's just simple arithmetic. The rate measures are:
    Kb or Kbits = kilobits
    Mb or Mbits = megabits
    KB or KByte = kilobytes (1 KB = 8 Kb)
    MB or MByte = megabytes (1 MB = 8 Mb)
    Lowercase can be substituted for uppercase if you wish.

  • Super-slow FTP download speed

    I recently switched from Time Warner to Verizon FiOS and it's been a whole lot better in terms of service except for one thing: FTP speed. When I log into Filezilla and try to download something, my download speed plummets to 30 kb/s and slower. I've tried switching FTP clients and saw no change, and tried accessing my ftp via Firefox and Chrome; neither option changed my slow as molasses FTP speeds. There's no problem with my connection (I'm wired, not wireless) and my speeds are reading as higher than advertised.
    Is there something I'm not checking for or is Verizon simply throttling my FTP DL speed?

    I use FireZilla all the time and have no problems with transfer speeds.
    Some FTP sites run slower than others, but I chalk that up to slower links between "here" and "there."
    I've never seen any real evidence of throttling by Verizon on any service.
    Good Luck.

    I hate the new downloads-in-a-tab scheme. This was an unnecessary change in my book (if it aint broke, don't "fix it").
    So in order to get it back, I performed the about:config browser.download.useToolkitUI change, but now all I get is a blank download window that pops up every time I download something.
    Is there something else that I need to do? I've checked the change and it was saved, but it didn't resolve my issue as much as it just caused me a new issue.

  • WRT310N Playstation 3 Slow Download speed and general lag

    Hey guys, I just recently bought the WRT310N and got both of my computers working with it. One is wired directly into the router, while the other is running off wireless. My Playstation 3 is able to connect to the router but I am getting an extremely slow connection speed.
    Right now, both PC's get about 6.4-6.5 Mbps download speed while my Playstation is anywhere from 600 Kbs to 1.2 Mbps. I have plugged in my Playstation 3 directly into the modem and got a speed of 3.2 Mbps and was downloaded a demo very fast, but I do not recieve anywhere near those results when using it wireless.
    Any advice? I have tried opening the ports, but that only seemed to slow it down. A couple of days ago I opened the ports specific to the game NHL 10 and for two days I was getting such a good speed in the game that it felt like I was playing offline, which was great! Then this morning, it just seemed do a complete 180. Now when I play the game I get an extreme amount of lag, and my other games like CoD4 get random lag spikes. Like, I'll be running and I get a lag spike which seems to happen fairly consistently every minute or so.
    Any advice? Should I try opening the ports again or what?

    I think you need to adjust the wireless settings of your Router, The wireless settings on your Router must have been setup to its default that's the reason you are receiving low signal strength on your PS3.
     Open an Internet Explorer browser page on your wired computer(desktop).In the address bar type - 192.168.1.1 and press Enter...Leave Username blank & in Password use admin in lower case...
    For Wireless Settings, please do the following : -
    Click on the Wireless tab
    - Here select manual configuration...Wireless Network mode should be mixed...
    - Provide a unique name in the Wireless Network Name (SSID) box in order to differentiate your network from your neighbours network...
    - Set the Radio Band to Standard-20MHz and change the Standard channel to 11-2.462GHz...Wireless SSID broadcast should be Enabled and then click on Save Settings...
    Please make a note of Wireless Network Name (SSID) as this is the Network Identifier...
    For Wireless Security : -
    Click on the Sub tab under Wireless > Wireless Security...
    Change the Wireless security mode to WPA, For Encryption, select TKIP...For Passphrase input your desired WPA Key. For example , MySecretKey , This will serve as your network key whenever you connect to your wireless network. Do NOT give this key to anyone and remember the key.
    NOTE : Passphrase should be more that 8 characters...
    Click on Advanced Wireless Settings
    Change the Beacon Interval to 75 >>Change the Fragmentation Threshold to 2304, Change the RTS Threshold to 2304 >>Click on "Save Settings"...
    Now see if you can locate your Wireless Network and attempt to connect...

  • New Infinity 2 poor real life download speeds

    Are you sure that it is your speeds that are slow or are you possibly confusing your Megabyte (MB) with Megabit (Mb)
    A Megabyte (used for file size) and a Megabit (used for download speeds). People often assume that a download speed of 1 Megabit per second (1 Mbps) will allow them to download a 1 Megabyte file in one second. This is not the case, a Megabit is 1/8 as big as a Megabyte, meaning that to download a 1MB file in 1 second you would need a connection of 8Mbps. Most downloads are shown as MB/s
    If this is not the problem can you use this speed tester then carry out the further diagnostics and post back a screen shot of all the results including your IP profile for up and down. This test must be done with a wired connection for an accurate reading.

    Even the 'respected' tools like Onyx, if you look at what (each and every update) states in the "what is new" and changes will be to improve compatibility.
    Never use or install anything (and I include OS X updates in that category) without cloning your system and having TimeMachine that is current, and backup(s) that will be off line.
    Some cannot be trashed or deleted or removed without using an "uninstall app" or the installer, doing so without can mean having to reinstall first.

  • V e e e r r y   S l o o o o w  Movie Rental Download Speeds

    My setup: In my home office is a cable modem connected to my locally owned and operated ISP's coax feed. It's a city operated fiber network (Ashland Fiber Network), not a ComCast/Charter/Verizon conglomerate. The modem is connected to a Time Capsule (500 MB) via ethernet. Also connected to the Time Caspsule via Ethernet is a 2.4 GHz 24" iMac. The Apple TV is in my living room about 30' away through one wood-frame wall.
    I get consistent >8 Mb/sec download speeds from Speedtest.net both on my office (Ethernet) iMac and on my MacBook via 802.11g while sitting next to the Apple TV in my living room. The Apple TV shows 5 bars on its signal strength meter, and is running the latest (2.02) software. I have the Airport Utility setup to run 802.11n (802.11b/g compatible) so that it'll work with both the Apple TV and my 802.11g MacBook. There are no 2.4 GHz wireless phones in my house, and no other WiFi devices connected. There are several other WiFi networks within range in my neighborhood, but I use WPA2 Personal security to isolate my network.
    My problem: I have tried only 1 SD movie download. but it took 37 minutes to reach "Ready to Play," and then choked after playing for 56 minutes. So rather than wait for more of the movie to download, I went to bed and watched the rest of it the next day. I've rented 2 HD movies, the first download notice told me that it would take 13 hours to be ready to play, and the next said 11 hours. Both times I just went to bed and watched the movie the next day.
    Trailers generally take anywhere from 2-5 mins. to begin playing, and they almost always choke after about a minute and have to download more to continue playing. They play much faster on my iMac when downloaded from Apple's Quicktime site, though I can't be sure if different servers are involved there.
    This scenario does not jibe at all with what Apple tells me I should expect from the Apple TV, nor with what I read about here on the Apple Discussion boards.
    Things I've tried: 1) Changing the WiFi channel from Auto to a discrete channel--I've tried four different channels now. 2) Switching to 802.11n only--both at 2.4 GHz and at 5 Ghz. 3) Unplugging and removing the batteries from my 5.8 GHz wireless phones. 4) Moving the Apple TV a 6' HDMI cable's length away from the TV and sound system in my living room. 4) Resetting everything several times, even once back to 2.0 before reinstalling 2.02. 5) I even unplugged the microwave in the kitchen. About the only obvious thing I haven't yet tried is stringing an ethernet cable from my Time Capsule to the Apple TV because I don't have one that long and would rather not strip down my entire setup just to test that. But it looks like I'm going to have to.
    I've had four conversations with Apple tech support, the last one after being bumped up to level 2 support. They had me do (among other things) a 100-ping test using Network Utility between the my iMac and the Apple TV--no dropped packets and the network speed was, according to them, well within spec. When I told them all the other stuff I've tried, they had no suggestion other than: "Something is interfering with your signal."
    I took the Apple TV to my local Apple Authorized Dealer (the nearest Apple Store is 300 miles away). It checked out fine and ran great on their network. I got to try downloading a few trailers there and they ran almost instantaneously. Now, they informed me that their network runs at ~15 Mb/sec, but they also have about 30 computers hooked up to it.
    Anyway, I read here that almost all of you are seeing much faster download speeds on your Apple TVs, even those of you with DSL. And it seems pretty clear that I'm experiencing some sort of interference here, but can't seem to locate the source. So, my question is: What other possible sources of interference might I be getting, and how might I go about locating them?

    How does downloading via your iMac respond?
    I haven't tried downloading a movie from iTunes to see if there's a substantial difference, and you can't rent HD movies from iTunes, only SD. Trailers download faster, but there's no telling if they're coming from the same servers as Apple TV's trailers (nor if iTunes movies are, for that matter).
    I'm quick to blame the time capsule and time machine. Similar to your problems with AppleTV, I've never had time machine work properly. All it does is suck up all my resources while taking days to do anything.
    Unlike some, I've had zero setup or operating problems with my Time Capsule. Works like a charm and doesn't seem to slow anything down on my iMac as far as I can tell.

  • Transmit rate vs. Download speed: should I switch everything to 5GHZ or does it matter?

    Thanks in advance for any help that you can give me. I am not well-schooled in networking so, after doing a lot of research and not being able to get clarity, I figured I would write what I understand and hope that somebody here could point me in the right direction. I have 3 airport stations (a time capsule dual band is the primary and 2 airport expresses) and they are all ethernet wired. All my devices are 802.11n capable and all the base stations are n capable. I have no strictly b/g devices, only n devices. No matter what base station a device is connected to, the speedtest.net rate is about 17mbps (I pay for 18mbps) so that is good. However, the "transmit rate" (and I don't really understand what this does) varies depending on what base station my device hooks into. Whenever I am near the time capsule (primary station), my devices hook in at 5Ghz and I get a transmit rate of about 240 to 300 and a 17mbps download speed. But when I hook into either of the other 2 aiport expresses, it shows that I am hooked into 2.4Ghz and the transmit rate is about 50 to 130, but I still get the 17mbps download speed. I know I can change both expresses to only do 5Ghz. Keep in mind, the speedtest.net test always shows about 17mbps download speed no matter what base station my device connects to. I am not sure I understand what the transmit rate indicates. I want to make my network the fastest it can be no matter what base station I use.
    So, my question is should I change the other 2 airport extreme base stations to operate as 5Ghz n network only so that I have 5Ghz operating throughout my whole house which will give a higher "transmit rate" and will that make my experience faster even though I already get maximum 17mbps download speed? Also, if you could, please explain to me the difference between ISP download speed and "transmit rate" because I don't really understand the difference...I mean how does download speed affect my experience vs. how does transmit rate affect my experience? Do I really need to have a higher "transmit rate" to increase my speed or is just having 17mbps download speed necessary and the transmit rate doesn't matter?
    One other thing you might need to know: I don't have any 2.4 ghz devices that might interfere with my network (my cordless phones are 1.9Ghz)
    Thanks again for the help.

    Think of it like this.. Change moving data in air to water in pipes. 
    You have a 1/2" pipe coming from the ISP into your house..
    Inside your house you have 5" and 2" pipes.. (this represents the speeds or flow rate if you like, 1/2" is all the ISP gives you.. but your ethernet is a huge pipe.. think of it as infinite for this situation,, and 5" pipe that is 5ghz and 2" pipe is 2.4ghz.. this is just illustration remember it is area not diameter that matters).
    If you transfer files between the computer on the TC to the TC hard disk.. you get all the 5" pipe.. very fast.
    If you copy a file between computer on the TC and device on the express.. you are limited by the 2" pipe.. everything goes at the speed the 2" pipe can manage.
    Now you do something with internet.. 5" pipe can get the same throughput as the 2" pipe because it is only 1/2"
    Pipes btw are still in imperial even if you are in a metric country pretty often.
    But I hope that illustrates the situation..
    If a computer on 5" pipe and computer on 2" pipe are both trying to access internet .. they both still have to share the 1/2" pipe. In a perfect world they both get half your 18mbps if they are accessing it at the same time.. (QoS represent a flow valve that says this pipe should get more flow even if it is smaller so I shut the valve down on 5" to make sure it only gets what the 2" can get.. no more.. to be fair.).
    Same as water in pipes.. the 1/2" pipe can never fill the 5" or even the 2" pipe.. the 2" cannot fill the 5" so the fastest would be everything on 5" pipes.. since you are unlikely to be able to afford a 5" pipe from the ISP then you accept everything is going to go slower when internet is involved.
    Jumping out of my illustration..
    Apple made 2.4ghz max out at 150mbps..
    Although some of the later stuff can get better than that,, 217mbps.
    The 5ghz is faster because it is has more bandwidth.. up to 1200mbps in the newest AC .. 450 on Gen3,4 TC and 300 on the older gen1,2
    BUT the range is poor.. so generally better sticking with 2.4ghz for express.. they are not high power devices at all.
    2.4ghz  has better range and penetration.. you are going to be just fine with internet access.. and your setup is actually working really well.. There are some overheads on wireless so you do not quite hit wired speeds.

  • Download Speed on PIX 515E is Pretty Slow

    Hello, I have a PIX 515E set up between our office switch and our Comcast Business Router and the download speeds are not as fast as they should be. We are paying for 30 down 30 up but it's more like 10 down 30 up. I plugged in a computer directly into the router and got 30/30 so I know its not a comcast issue. I think it might be the low amount of memory on the PIX because its running at 109 out of a total 128mb. The PIX has a site-to-site VPN tunnel with a remote ASA 5520 firewall. The inside/outside ports are both auto/auto. The running config is only 161 lines.
    Here's some information about the PIX 515E...
    Version 8.0(4)
    ASDM 6.1(3)
    Memory 128MB
    Here is the running config..
    Result of the command: "show running-config"

  • Apple Extreme AC 6th Gen - Wifi slow download speed

    My Apple Extreme AC seems to be behaving strangely and wanted to find if anyone else having the same problem, or if anyone know how to fix this.
    The router is set to bridge mode and get it's connection from:
    FTTH Modem (300Mbps connection) > DLink 865L (primary router) ==fast ethernet== Linksys switch > Apple Extreme AC (WAN port), the Linksys is Gigabit switch.
    If I run speedtest using JPERF or WAN (speedtest.net) with a wired connection to my laptop, I get symmetrical download & upload speed of 100Mbps (benchmark).
    Doing the same test on WIFI N 5Ghz, laptop is equipped with Intel Centrino 6300 AGN (450Mbps nic), I get a maximum of 45Mbps (download) and 95Mbps (upload). The upload is definitely okay, but what could cause the 50% drop in download speed? Even testing with JPERF i get similar result, except upload went even higher to about 120Mbps.
    iPhone 5S connected to AE AC doing speedtest.net also yield similar result, 45Mbps (download), 80Mbps upload.
    Doing the similar test (same laptop and same iPhone) with the DLINK 865L (main router) wifi 5Ghz as well, I can get:
    Laptop: 150Mbps (download & upload), it varies a bit but not much
    iPhone 5S: 65~80 Mbps download, 80Mbps upload.
    Is my AE AC faulty? Can I get Apple to "repair" it although I don't really know what is wrong with it.
    I've tried manual radio selection & auto, nothing improves it, only degrade it further
    On 2.4Ghz channel, i get half of what i get on 5Ghz, i.e. 20Mbps download, up to 40 Mbps upload
