Upload speed limit query

Hi,
we are implementing VOIP over internet.
Unfortunately the cisco router is taken care by ISP.
The problem is the VOIP works ok for a few days or weeks and then we have disturbances.
I performed some speed tests which show me a upload limited to 32K
the internet lease line is 256 K.but the ISP says the upload and download is 256K
All I would like to know is ..is there anything I can ask the ISP to check on their end which can help me for confirming the upload speed ?

I can explain why you are getting this problem.
When you download packets of data your computer sends acknowledgments of the packets it is receiving back up the line. This is known as ACK data.
So if your upload is maxed out then there is no room for your ACK data and this will cripple your download speed.
The way to resolve this is to use traffic shaping or 'Quality of Service'QOS.
The best system would be to use a ADSL2+ router that supports QoS. Then you could set up rules to prioritise ACK data packets above any other types of outgoing data you use. If there is only 1 computer behind your adsl2+ modem that is uplaoding then you could run QoS software on your mac. Software such as throttled

Download and upload speed per ssid in air-sap2602.

Dear team,
How to limit the download and upload speed per ssid in air-sap2602 ?
SSID =5MB download + 1upload
SSID= 30MB download + 5upload
Regards

If you need help with traffic shaping, you should post your question on the rLAN, Switching and Routing forum:

Silly Questions - Upload Speed & Hardware

Hi tere network people,
Networking ignorant here in need of your help.
I'm using a PowerMac G4 as a server and I have a PHP website going to share some pics with friends.
Some lamented it can be slow to download the pictures on their side (Most, if not all, have Broadband). The picture files are not huge, but my connection is only a residential Broadband one.
The ISP states that: "The upload speed is 256 Kilobits/Sec. Average upload rates are circa 20 Kilobytes/Sec."
Coming to my silly questions:
1) How much my Upload speed should be to confortably support 5-10 users at a time?
2) Since I got a new PM G4 with a 7200 rpm HD and a Gigabit Ethernet port and a slightly faster processor, should I look at the modem/router specs? Can they affect/limit upload speed?
If anyone can give me some basic tips, I'd be grateful.
Cheers!
PM G4 (PCI Graphics) - 350Mhz, 128-bit, 100 MHz, L1 Cache: 64K, L2 Cache: 512/1M, CD-Rom, 10GB Mac OS X (10.3.5)
PM G4 (PCI Graphics) - 350Mhz, 128-bit, 100 MHz, L1 Cache: 64K, L2 Cache: 512/1M, CD-Rom, 10GB Mac OS X (10.3.5)

1) How much my Upload speed should be to confortably support 5-10 users at a time?
That's easy to calculate.
Assume that your 10 users are on broadband connections with a 1mbps download speed. In order to fulfill everyone's demands at top speed you need a 1mpbs x 10, or 10mpbs upload speed.
Of course, it's unlikely that everyone will download files at the same time, and it's also unlikely that they'll sustain 100% of their rated download speed, so you can probably halve that figure without any noticeable degradation, but even 5mpbs is way higher than your current 256kbps upload link.
It's also clear that your internet connection is your bottleneck. Upgrading the server isn't going to make any difference.

FTP speed limit

Hi there,
Trying to figure out why my upload speed is so slow using FTP. I'm working on a 10/10 link full duplex and my speed tests are pretty good overall. My question is why my upload speed using FTP with my browser/explorer is around 150Kbps while the same
file on the same host using FileZilla goes aroung 900Kbps ?! While testing, I disable my AV just to be sure.
Did some research and found a buffer/speed limit on ftp command (ftp.exe /?). Could that be the explanation or am I missing something ?
Thank you

Just to clarify, some questions please:
Are you on a network?
By "Upload", you mean uploading a file over the internet, not within a LAN or WAN, right?
When you say the same file goes 900 kbps using FileZilla, you mean upload, not download, correct?
Also, what kind of internet connection do you have?
One possibility, based on what you've mentioned, is that the server you're uploading to has a maximum speed per connection. This is fairly common. Apps like FileZilla typically use multiple connections to increase download speeds; I haven't used
one in awhile but it's possible they can do this for uploads as well. So if the server you're uploading to has a speed limit of 150 kbps per connection, you'll never be able to get higher speeds unless you use a multithreaded client (like FileZilla).

Telstra Cable Ultimate Upload Speed Increse

Dear Telstra, Recently i have been trying to stream to twitch in 720p on your cable ultimate but your slow upload doesnt even allow me to stream at 240p at 30fps wihtout 60% frames lost and it would be great if there was some way for you to increase this. As with http://crowdsupport.telstra.com.au/t5/Telstra-Ideas/Upload-Speed-Boost-Option-for-Cable-Plans/idi-p/343959it doesn't look like a technical limitation.i dont have any other options for internet and i coulnt ask more with the dl speed It would be nice if you could increase to 10mbps for $10 a month or 5mbps for $5 possibly and if not a technical explanation would be realy nice.

Hello, I'm also in the same boat too, I don't buy the whole Foxtel upload causing this issue too. These are two seperate connections incoming and outgoing which are dedicated. NBN hasn't even been planned in our area yet! High speed cable with adequate down and up speed will be just as good as NBN, so let the consumer decide what they want and don't dictate what we should like. Don't get me wrong, the download speeds are fantastic but it is outrageous to have such a limit on upload when consumers are HAPPY to pay extra!? Come on Telstra, this is worthy of a petition in Change.org. The 4G network reaches speed of 100 Mbit/s and an upload of 37 Mbit/s but the data plans are unfathomable to pay for those who require high volume or large uploads. It's reasons like this that we are still laughed upon by Europe and USA...even the NBN is a joke now that there is no more FTTH. Telstra know this yet they tell us to wait for NBN when they know most consumers who are KMs from the exchange will also experience speed issues. Please Telstra, have some pride with your infrastructure and MAKE SOME MONEY which will also SATISFY CUSTOMERS. It's not rocket science. It seems like you want to avoid adding additional upload ports in the CMTS infrastructure. How about a trial test to see how feasible it is such as a voting system and notify all of your cable customers about it to actually see what the response is from your stakeholders? You may very well be surprised. Thanks for reading. Kind Regards,JeremyPunchFace

Slow upload speeds when using my wireless N router

Hello,
I just have a quick question maybe someone can help me out with. I have my verizon issued G rated router hooked up normally. I turned off the wifi, and using one of the lan ports ran a cable to my D-link wireless N router. I wanted to use this router, because it gives me great coverage in my house and have worked great for me in the past. Anyway, I plugged my pc which has a gigabit adapter directly into one of the four open lan ports on my wireless N router. Download speeds were consitently between 41mb/s to 45 mb/s which is awesome. However the upload speeds are horrible and tops out around 3.5mb/s.
Here is where I need someones help. If unplug the PC's lan wire from my wireless N router and instead plug it directly into one of the open ports on the Verizon router, I get the same download speeds, but now i am getting between 30 and 35mb/s. Does anyone know why plugging into the lan port on the other router kills the upload speed? It has to be something in the settings, because if I connect wirelessly to either the verizon or the Dlink routers, I get the same upload speeds for both usually around 25mb/s. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks

You don;t say which D-Link router you have. A number of D-Link routers have an option called "Game-Fuel". This is a setting that enables specific QOS settings. If you have Game-Fuel turned on, that can adversely impact your upload. Game-Fuel uses QOS to ensure that no one user monopolizes the upstream bandwidth.

How to improve upload speeds with new Airport Extreme?

Hi!
Just plugged in a new Airport Extreme to replace a BT HomeHub 3.0. The wi-fi download speeds have generally increased over a wider range in the house but the wi-fi upload speeds have dropped to under 1Mbps.
Speeds to laptop linked via ethernet appear fine (both up & download).
Initially thought that I may have messed-up the set-up but the fact that the wired connection works fine makes me think this is something to do with the Airport settings - a scary thought as I don't really know much about this stuff.
As range was really the reason for getting the AP Extreme I'm contemplating plugging the HomeHub back in and just trying to use the AP to extend the old HHub system rather than setting up a new AP system...
Any suggestions would be most gratefully received!
Thanks

... just a quick note to say that the appears to be resolved after a long telephone call to apple service dept (very patient - very helpful).
In my naivety I had attempted to revert back to using the homehub (3.0) router and connecting the APExtreme into one of the Ethernet LAN ports but this didn't work! So called the apple helpline & we went back to basics until it worked. One point to note that may help anyone finding themselves in a similar position...
I had followed the instruction to reset the APEBS depressing the button first whilst powered then without power and during the unit being reconnected to power supply thinking tha this would do a full restore to factory defaults (effectively undoing all the messing- around I may have done flounderinng through the settings) but it was only when I was directed to do a full reset through the Airport Utility settings [Edit\Advanced\Restore Defaults] that this worked (for me).
Download and upload speeds are now up to 93% of advertised speeds wired, & wireless with some fluctuations which appear to be network delivery related rather than anything to do with the APEBS. It's working well with an APExpress which had been struggling (intermittentlyout of range) which is connected to stereo and Apple TV.
By the way - thanks to other posts regarding importance of not connecting an audio out cable to phono sockets on the stereo (horrible sound quality) using a redundant CD channel it works great.
All-in-all, very happy with it so far.

Basic Questions on ActionTec MI424-WR Router - problems with poor download/upload speed

First, I will get to the point and ask my questions, then will explain what's happening - I'm interested in hearing whether the right actions are being taken to solve my problem.
1) After perusing the forums, I see frequent reference to the "Rev" version of the ActionTec MI424-WR Router. How do you find the Rev version? I have logged into the Router and in the "System Monitoring" icon, the Router Status lists my Hardware version as 'A'. Does this mean I have Rev 'A'?
2) What is Verizon handing out these days for Routers? Mine is being replaced, and I am wondering what to expect. I have Verizon FIOS Phone, TV, and Internet service, and have the 25/25 Internet service. Will they give me another MI424-WR? If so, what Rev level are they likely to give me?
Here's why my router is being replaced - opinions/comments/advice welcomed.
For the past year or two, I've consistently measured (via speedtest.speakeasy.net) about 30Mbs download, and around 22-25 Upload. Lately, I noticed that my downloads were quite slow, so I tested my speed at the above website, which I had not done in many months. I measured only about 2-3 Download and 1-2 up. Note all of what I am discussing hear takes place with hard-wired ethernet, NOT wireless.
I tried testing from multiple computers, running XP, Vista, and Windows 7. All getting consistently similar poor speeds. I verified my account still is supposed to have 25/25/ service, which I verified online.
Tried rebooting the router, no change. Then tried hard reset (pushing in the recessed button, holding it for about 20-30 seconds. After it reconnected to the Internet, I tested speed again. No change.
Interestingly, I tested wireless speed on the laptop I have. Speed is MUCH better, around 15 down, and 10-12 up.
I tried the speed optimization tool on two of my PCs, it made no improvement. Finally, got into an online chat with a Verizon Tech. He did some tests on the line, we repeated some of the things I already tried, and then he asked how old my Router was...I am pretty sure it is the original one I received when I first signed up for FIOS, around 5-6 years ago, which is one of the reasons I asked how to tell which rev level I had. So the tech concluded the problem was probably my Router.
I TEND to agree, especially because I recently had an "anomaly" on my network. My son complained one day that Internet was down. When I got home, I found out my NetGear Gigbit switch was dead, and two of my hard-wired ethernet network printers could no longer talk to the network. I replaced the switch, so now I am thinking perhaps the Router was damaged somehow. I have no idea what the cause of this anomaly was - everything that connects to my network was plugged into Triplite ISOBAR surge protectors, but that only protects AC power.
I would think a hardware failure would completely kill the ethernet portion of the router, not simply reduce speed, but I could be wrong. Anyone been through something similar to this before? I expect to receive the new Router next Thursday, so hopefully I should know by then, but still - what should the next steps be if the new router does not fix the problem?
Thanks for any comments, insight or shared experiences you might be willing to share...
Solved!
Go to Solution.

This is embarrassing.
Smith6612, you are absolutely correct, and you nailed it!
When all this mess started, I checked my Verizon account to make sure I was signed up for 25/25 Internet. I was.
I don't know what has happened, but after reading Smith6612's response, I went back to recheck my account. I was set up for 15/5! So, the speedtest measurements I have been getting the last couple of days are exactly what I should be getting. Two possibilities:
1) My Triple-Play bundle must have expired in the past two weeks by coincidence.
2) The Verizon tech may have changed my account profile when I worked with them online last week, although this was never discussed.
At any rate, Smith6612 wins the prize. It certainly explains the download/upload speeds I am getting. I have logged into Verizon and signed up for a new bundle. According to their website, my new profile should take effect Tuesday 1/10, so after that point, I should be measuring 25/25 again.
Thanks to all who responded to this thread. I will update this thread to confirm after Tuesday. I get nervous whenever I have to change anything with Verizon - although everything has worked fine for the past few years, we have so many services with them - Cell Phone, TV, Internet, and Home Phone, that I worry something will go wrong with the billing, but we'll see.

Download and Upload speeds have been dropping sinc...

I have recently been having seriously problems with my connection, every day the router appears to reset/crash, sometimes once and sometimes more than several times a day.
This was the speed I was getting in December, everything was fine.
Now this is the speed that I am getting.
I'm not sure how this is happening but I have been able to confirm that it isn't an issue within my household, there is only have one master socket which the router is connected to along with a wireless phone thats connected to it.
This is what the results that I got from the router.

Hi lionheart1066
I see Imjolly was giving you a hand with this on another thread.
We still need to try and get you connected via the test socket to rule out external wiring and possible swap over micro-filters too.
I note you mentioned you have an I-plate. Take this off, as it could be faulty, as you will then see the test socket. If possible connect up via Ethernet and leave for a day or two and see if this stops the drops.
Its also important to look out for other sources of interference. You can see a list of common offenders on this link.
If you have tried this out and are still having problems drop me in an email please with your BT account and telephone number along with a link back to this thread.
Just send using the contact us form in my profile under the 'about me' section and mark FAO Craig please.

Download and upload speed issues

Hi I am new to the forum and I am having problems with my broadband speed I get approx 6.8mb download speed but what appears to be happening is when I surf the net the speed is 6.8mb but the problem is when I download the speed drops to max 2mb can be as low as 0.6mb does anyone know why this would be happening, I have read on the forum that you should keep your home hub on 24/7 must admit haven't been doing this usually turn it off when no one is in the house. The other issue is my upload speed is poor only get approx 0.3mb when I was with O2 before I changed to bt in the summer I was getting 1mb upload any ideas how to improve this

hi thanks for getting back in touch we have the old type of phone socket does not have a test socket
speed test result: download speed 7.10mb upload 0.33mb ping latency 39.00 ms

Download and Upload Speeds Very Slow

I have been having problems with my download speeds they are very sluggish only transferring at 12 kb/s and I know that the problem is not with my laptop as I have tried to download something off my ps3 and the connection just seemed to time out this has become very stressful as I have contacted BT and they have found not wrong with my telephone line, I have tried everything to try and solve this issue but all has failed. Please may someone suggest something. Download speed: 176.89 Kbps (0.17 Mbps) Upload Speed: 743 Kbps (0.73 Mbps)

Hello,
Just arrived for xmas at my parents house to find they have the same issue as the oringal poster. Router details are. Speedtest.net results showed a download speed of 0.10.....tried different PC's.
Anyone got any ideas?

Poor upload speeds via speedtest affecting iTunes match failure to upload new songs?

Hi Guys,
My itunes match is stuck at stage 3 - I only have a couple of albums worth of songs to update but it is freezing and eventually erroring saying it can't complete the request and times out.
generally it is fine with a 15,000 song library. My itunes is up to date. I have logged out and logged in and now I can't even see any of my icloud tracks, even though it says I am logged in...
My internet browsing has also become very sluggish. I have done various checks and the only thing I have noticed is that my upload speed via a speed test is 0.01 if am lucky which is very low seeing as I should be on around 5MB (via virgin media superhub)
Would this explain my Itunes match issue?
Any help or advice on these issues would be hugely helpful.
Cheers,
Dave,

Hi rhirons,
Unfortunately at present there isn't much I can suggest, you've pretty much covered off most of the troubleshooting there is for iTunes match. This is a common problem and has been ongoing since the beginning of the month affecting a lot of people. It appears to be an issue at the iTunes side and until Apple acknowledge there is a problem and fix it I'm afraid we're stuck.
I'd recommend contacting Apple Support online by going to https://getsupport.apple.com/Issues.action then selecting iTunes Store > Connecting & Downloading > iTunes Match
The more people that contact Apple to report the issue will hopefully will trigger a response to get the problem sorted.

Macbook pro: Extremely slow upload speed

Hi,
I know this question has beed raised many times before me, seemingly from hundreds or thousands of users, but none of the threads I have found has lead to any solution.
My new Macbook Pro (15 inch), using Lion 10.7.3, is simply unable to obtain anything but an extremely slow upload speed, when using Wifi. I am using an Apple Airpor Extreme wifi device. My work PC, my older Macbook Pro (13 inch), all tablets and telephones etc hooks up to the same Wifi device and obtain all the speed they should, but my new Macbook Pro is sloooooooooooowwwww and sometimes cannot even initiated an uload speedtest at i.a. www.speedtest.net.
As mentioned, I am aware that there are plenty of threads on this, but I am not aware of any that provides a solution.
Is there a solution or is my new Macbook nothing but crAplle?
Best regards,
n

My subscription is 10 Mbps downloadand 2 Mbps download. upload
I get that (10/2 Mbps) on all other devices, other than my new Macbook Pro.
On my new Macbook pro I get 10 Mbps download, but only from 0 to 25 Kbps upload.

A browser with download speed limit?

It sounds weird but on Linux I can't find a browser that allows to set a download speed limit.
I found an extension for Firefox but it works only on Windows.
I know the existence of download managers like d4x, wget, jdownloader, etc... but some downloads can only be done by browser.
I know trickle too but if I want to change the speed limit I have to 'restart' the command (interrupting the current download).
Then I didn't find an extension for Chromium.

I was able to implement [global] throttling with wondershaper. You will need to modprobe sch_cbq if you use the CBQ script (not sure about the HTB one). I use the CBQ version.
