How to maximize upload speeds

Anyone have any recommendations on how to set up AEBS to maximize upload speeds. Using cable for ISP. Cable modem is connected to an ATA for VOIP (with PhonePower) which is then connected to AEBS. Have a new mac mini connected to AEBS vie ethernet and PB G4 connected wirelessly. Download speeds are generally fine but the upload is slow. This is causing choppy phone calls on the VOIP. My understanding is that this is caused by latency from me to the VOIP server. Callers tell me they have trouble hearing me, but I can hear them fine. I've order new Cat 6 cables to see if that will help. AEBS setting shouldn't affect the VOIP b/c that's infront of the AEBS - hence my hope the new cables will help. But we still do have slow upload on the computers. Thanks for any help.

It sounds like you are being provided with a consumer-grade service from your ISP. The inconsistencies with the upload/download is quite typical as these are normally not guaranteed with this level of service. Business-grade, which (of course) costs more, typically provides guaranteed bandwidth; symmetrical upload/download bandwidth, and static IP addresses.
Remember, you are trying to move voice data over the same line as other computing data ... and probably HD cable TV as well. These will all be competing for that same bandwidth.
If changing the service type is not a desired option, here are some other ways to help with any voice quality issues:
o Use a router that offers a Quality-of-Service (QoS) feature. This will allow you to select which network client gets the most bandwidth. Unfortunately, the AirPorts do not offer this service.
o Make all of your network connections wired. If not possible, then use a radio mode that provides the best bandwidth. For your AEBSn, that would be "802.11n only (5 GHz)"
o Don't perform downloads or uploads with your computer(s) when making VoIP calls.
o Similarly don't stream audio/video on your local network when making VoIP calls.

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.

How is my upload speed nearly the same as my downl...

I've moved back into a property were I had an 8mb connection 6 years ago. Somehow I'm not able to achieve this anymore and since the weekend my connection has dropped by 1.5 to 2 times?
The internet went off for most of last Friday and since it has been back on I've had a terrible connection. Its becoming frustating as I'm disconecting from online games and I am now unable to stream without constant buffering (even on low quality).
Last week 2 PC's were able to stream and while one was downloading but this week only one can just about stream but with constant buffering issues.
Whats happened? A neighbours hub went down at the same time. Is it due to the infinty upgrade at the exchnage? This would be unfair if so.
Here are my latest connection stats, notice how my upload is now close to over taking my download! Any help/advice would be gratefully appreciated! Nothing has changed with respect to my internal setup.
Thanks in advance

Another update. Same as before, pc boots up and shows a 2meg line in my network conns and then it steadily drops to 1meg over 2-4hrs. My internet just locked up after 5 days of constantly being on and hub restarted on exactly the same connection (1meg) lol
Noise is 8 and BT have told me I'm suppose to be on 5 meg min lol On a plus note I can switch to infinty and it'll cost me no extra apart from having to restart a contract! My spped on infinity is considerably faster. Lets see how it goes.
They couldn't book an appointment for an engineer as the engineer booking system was down and I'm to expect a phone call within 2 days ^^
upload is still just under a meg aswell.
Here's my embarassing stats (note that the router just locked up, so I suppose a gotta put up with crappy internt again for 3-5 days??????) What a margin breaker the exchanges have!

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.

Upload speeds

Dear Great Ones,
Does anyone know if DW CS3 has an indicator of how fast the
upload speed is at that moment?
And if yes, where is it?
Thanks so much,
Hope

Wait - on a DSL line that is shared with others? Your 12
hours could be
right. Ask the ISP what the bandwidth is for the connection
and do the
calculation yourself.

How do I increase upload speed?

How can I increase my upload speed to match my download speed? Currently getting 15Mbps dowloan and only 1.9 Mbps upload. Road Runner says its an issues with the router and not their network. I've alread powered down the router and disconnected it from the modem. I've plugged everything back in and noticed an increase in upload speed, but not download speed.

Upload speeds are never the same as download speeds for home broadband. Road Runner (whatever that is) is incorrect.

Very low Upload Speed. How can I increase this?

Hi there, new to the forums with my post.
I'm a frequent online gamer and have the Bt unlimited package as a result. However over the past month I've been experiencing high latency spikes or just high latency in general upward of 1000ms. Naturally this makes any form of gaming impossible. During this past month I've conducted many speed tests and only recently discovered that my upload speeds are ridiculously low, ranging from 0.02mbps to a maximum of 0.06mbps. I believe this is what is causing my lag issues.
My question is. What can I do to resolve this and raise my upload speed to an acceptable standard?

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.
Thx
Craig

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

How to check upload progress when using Azure Node.js SDK createBlockBlobFromLocalFile

We are building our cloud application using node.js.
The "createBlockBlobFromLocalFile" API can be used to upload a local file to a container. However, is there any feedback event being fired so that I know how many bytes have been uploaded so far? (For example, if I am uploading a 4GB
file, I would need to know the upload speed and upload progress.)
Thanks.

Hi,
As of now, we do not have any API for Node.js to track the progress of Upload or download of block blob.
You may check the upload speed using different tool or through Azurespeed.com. Please refer below link:

Very Low Upload Speed

I wonder if anyone can help, as the BT helpdesk have refused to acknowledge that I have a problem. My BT Infinity Download speed os very good, around 30 mbits/sec. My Upload speed is very very poor, if fluctuates between 0.3 and 0.5 mbits/sec. If I use wireshark to capture the packets used when the BT Wholesale test is running I can see that I have a high packet loss rate for outgoing packets. So something is wrong. I remotely control the PC in my office from my home PC and the performance of this is definitely a lot poorer than it was recently. Kids have also complained about Itunes and stuff. Loss of packets on the outgoing link will damage download performance as the TCP ACKs are not getting back to teh data sender. Any advice on howe I can get BT to accept I have some kind of fault and do something about it? Their recommendation was that I get Business Broadband!!!!

Hi coullyhomeip
I am sorry you are having trouble with your broadband. We can not guarantee upload but I will be happy to have a look at this for you and see what we can do.

Macbook upload speed suddenly slow see history

Hey there,
So my wife has the white Macbook from september 2008 and I have the Macbook Pro 15in from March 2009. We both share the same internet connection but after the upgrade to SL her upload speed has become painfully slow (see history) while mine is still the same speed.
Date Download Speed Upload Speed
Tuesday 00:55 984 kbps (123kB/s) 27 kbps (3.38kB/s) Share

Sep 4, 22:01 1059 kbps (132kB/s) 120 kbps (15kB/s) Share
The september 4th speedtest was BEFORE the SL upgrade and the tuesday is AFTER the SL upgrade, but then again I upgraded my Macbook Pro to SL and there has been no drop in my upload speed.
What to do? My wife is now using my Mac which is no good for any of us.
Thanks

Select each of the items shown in RED in Activity Monitor. Click on the Quit icon in AM's toolbar then click on the Force Quit button. You only need to do this if you are unable to quit the programs in the normal way - Make the program the frontmost application, then press COMMAND-Q.
You also have two items in the /Library/StartupItems/ folder. They should not be there. You can remove them. HP should have updated software that replaces the older driver. I'm not sure about the TiVo item, but it should not be installed in that location.
You should check the Classroom Enrichment application for compatibility with Yosemite: See App Compatibility Table - RoaringApps.
As for your backup needs I would suggest this:
Repartition the Seagate backup drive. This removes all the Seagate software. If you want more control over your backups than provided by Time Machine see the following options:
Suggested Backup Software
1. Carbon Copy Cloner
2. Get Backup
3. Deja Vu
4. SuperDuper!
5. Synk Pro
6. Tri-Backup
Others may be found at MacUpdate.
Visit The XLab FAQs and read the FAQ on backup and restore. Also read How to Back Up and Restore Your Files. You can download free trial versions of all six so you can try them out and decide on the one you prefer before paying for it. I am a big fan of Carbon Copy Cloner, but that does not mean it's your best choice.
Now given all the above consider that you can always use Time Machine. But until you get your computer straightened out I would refrain from making a backup. There's no point in restoring a malfunctioning backup made of a malfunctioning computer.

Is it possible to increase upload speeds?

My upload speed is reported as being 0.31mbps by BT's own speed tester, and checking with speedtest.net gave a somewhat similar 0.34mbps today (though this moves around a lot between 0.05 and 0.25 normally).
Is there a way of boosting this?
I've read about line speed capping, is this something that folks know how to verify?
Here are my line stats.
ADSL Line Status
Connection Information
Line state:
Connected
Connection time:
3 days, 12:15:37
Downstream:
9.494 Mbps
Upstream:

Noise margin (Down/Up):
8.0 dB / 6.5 dB
Line attenuation (Down/Up):
32.6 dB / 18.1 dB
Output power (Down/Up):
19.3 dBm / 12.6 dBm
FEC Events (Down/Up):
0 / 0
CRC Events (Down/Up):
54224 / 83
Loss of Framing (Local/Remote):

Are you connected to the test socket? With your attenuation and a good line i would expect a connection speed in region of 13mb. Your upstream speed may well increase to .8/1mb at the next reset
