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
Solved!

How can i SLOW [not speed] scrolling speed in Windows FF?

How can i SLOW [not speed] scrolling speed in Windows FF?

I'm not very familiar with trackballs, but I'll add a comment regarding the keyboard part.
''ameame [[#answer-722079|said]]''
<blockquote>
When i press my spacebar or keyboard arrow key, [all] pages scroll too fast.</blockquote>
On my Firefox, the spacebar skips down a screenful at a time, like the PgDn key. When that repeats, it's certainly going to cover a lot of ground, and a lot faster than the down arrow key. But pressing the spacebar a few times can be efficient if you don't hold it down continuously.
The distance covered by the up and down arrow keys can be modified using a different preference:
(1) In a new tab, type or paste '''about:config''' in the address bar and press Enter. Click the button promising to be careful.
(2) In the search box above the list, type or paste '''scroll''' and pause while the list is filtered
(3) Scroll all the way down to '''toolkit.scrollbox.verticalScrollDistance''' which usually has a default value of '''3'''
* If the preference is bolded and user set to a value higher than 3, use right-click > Reset to set it back to 3 and test how that works for you (test on a normal web page, not the about:config page)
* To reduce the number of lines below 3, double-click to edit and type a smaller number and then you can test that (test on a normal web page and not the about:config page)
Does that help at all?
''Note: I assume you are not using "Caret Browsing" which moves the cursor through the text of the document when you press the up and down arrow keys. The results can be somewhat unpredictable depending on the layout of the page. If you want to test that feature, you can turn it on and off by pressing the F7 function key.''

Fcp - ram speed, bus speed, and 64 bit processing

how much do these (ram speed, bus speed, and 64 bit processing) specs play a role in fcp's performance? I hear conflicting opinions about it's utilization of the 64 bit processor(s). some say yes some say no. is ram speed from one rev to the next that much different, particularly in the last two G5's? Or, is the amount of ram and the processor type the most important considerations in optimizing fcp performance? thanks for your help!

SD/SDI card is to bring in video material in formats other than DV. If all you will ever work in is DV or HDV, firewire only is fine. If you want to work with non-DV formats and without expansion slots, you need to look into something like the AJA io to do your conversion and bring it down firewire. This solution has its own potential problems when the device and the hard drives are on the same bus.
You need a second drive just for media. On the Powermac you simply add a second internal drive. This is not possible on the iMac - an external firewire drive is the only option. This by itself is not an issue. Most people who do this with any seriousness end up adding a series of external hard drives to deal with the mass of media.
The limiting factor is that you only have one firewire bus (all macs have only one firewire bus) and if you run into problems with the camera (or VTR or AJA io) & hard drives not cooperating on one bus, you have no option to fix it. On the iMac, you have no option to add in a card to create a second firewire bus in the system.
So yes, the people at the store are correct. You can make the iMac work (with an external firewire drive). However, if you run into problems, you have severely limited options to mediate them. What I was trying to suggest is some things work better. An analogy might be, If I need to drive nails, the handle of a screwdriver can be made to work, but I should not be surprised if it does it badly and breaks when pushed hard.
good luck.

Low speed on iphone4 testing with bredbandskollen

When testing bandwith from iphone 4 to airport extreme, i only get 6Mb/ Download speed from internet, from any other computer i get 16-17 Mb/s.

Connecting the same phone to a 2nd Dlink router the speed is normal, about 17 Mb/s

My HP 8740W has problems with USB3 ports, they only connect at USB2 speeds with a tested USB3 disk

The two Superspeed USB3 ports on my HP 8740W have an error and won't connect at USB3 speeds , they default to USB2 transfer speeds. It appears that I have the latest NEC drivers from HP, but this version appears to be old compared to other manufacturers offerings.
I have a new Samsung S2 1TB USB3 external disk that has been tested and is working.
Could HP please update the USB3 drivers or give me an answer as to how to fix this issue. This is an expensive workstation class machine and I expect it to work without error.
Your support would be much appreciated.

Anyone have any ideas for me please?

Memory capacity & speed for MBP 8.1?

I am a little confused. I want to put 16GB in my early 2011 MBP, which the OWC says it can take.
I downloaded Crucial's memory scanner and it says my MBP 8.1 can take 2x8gb of DDR3-10600.
But then I go to OWC and they say I can put 2x8GB DDR3L-1600 in it. OWC also describes my 2.3GHZ i5 as a 2012, but it is definitely an early 2011.
Who is right? What is the fastest memory this model will take as 2x8GB.
PS: I am a recent Mac convert and am in love with my Macs (2 of them).
Thanks so much in advance.

First, you are looking at the correct vendors and you can trust the memory they sell once you have resolved which model Mac you have.
Look at the following to confirm the season, year, and model identifier for your Mac.

Note the season and year.

Fan running all the time at high speeds (high speed)

Hello fellowones,
Im new on this of Arching and i just installed a fresh version of Arch in my laptop (from the Archboot version) and im having some problems with the fan of my notebook, increasing temperatures.
I think perhaps the problem resides in the open drivers of the ATI video card, because i had some temperature problem with them when i was tasting others distro (Ubuntu; xUbuntu), but the thing is i can not install the privative drivers from ATI. But then i saw the same problem (the fan running at hig speeds, but lower temperatures) when i boot the system withouth the open drivers with runlevel3.
So i think i could need some help with this problemita.
Thanks!
Marote from Argentina

Marote,
Opensource ati drivers include powersaving capabilities which can be controled by "echoing" different values into specific "sysfs" files. It's described in the Wiki at this location:
https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Ati#Powersaving
Furthermore, if your laptop is new... they tend to have two graphic chipsets. If that's your case and both are ATI chipsets, you can manually turn one off, so that both are not active at the same time. Though not specific to your laptop, the steps detailed in this page are valid for you:
https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Ac … e_Graphics
Anyway, if you use ATI Catalyst drivers, you can do all these tasks from it's GUI tool (indeed, opensource drivers way do NOT work when using Catalyst). The easiest way to use Catalyst is activating its repo. Take a look at this page:
https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Un … positories
Hope it helps!

Mac Mini 2014 and SATA HDD speed/negotiated speed settings question?

I have a new Mac Mini 2014 2.6GHz i5 - with the Hitachi 1TB 5400RPM drive running OS 10.10.1. It is working well and is a worthy replacement for our 2007 Mini.
Today I was looking around the specs and settings and noticed the SATA settings for the HDD drive showed the link speed at 6 Gigabit but the negotiated speed is set to 3 Gigabit. I have searched around and read about people having issues with other chipsets or hard drive firmware incompatibilities with other models of Mac. Why would this be? Is it due to the drive only supporting 3 Gigabit? Searching for the drive model seems to indicate it supports 6 Gigabit. Thank you in advance for all responses.

I greatly appreciate the prompt responses and link information. So, really other than a modern SSD, or high RPM drive, you will not reach the benefits of a 6Gb connection let alone possibly max out a 3Gb connection. Which for a mild daily use Mini would be overkill.
Thank you.

Progressive speed down/speed up

Is progressive speed up and speed down possible in Audition? How do I do this? I can only do speed up/ down but not a progressive one. If what I'm saying is vague, what I want to do is that the sound file will slowly slow down and speed up again after a few seconds. Thanks in advance!

Do you want to preserve pitch and just change the tempo? Or are you after something like a turntable slowing down then speeding up again?
If the latter, have a look at Effects/Time and Pitch/Pitch Bender.
If it's the first option, then I don't know of a way to do this but I'm sure others will be along with advice.

Cpu frequency/bus speed mem speed calculator

have made a simple tool which calculates
cpu bus mem speeds depending on
multiplier clock mem ht mem ratio etc.
how do i post the file on this forum so people can try it out ?
or if anyone wants it i will mail it..

hmmz I don't know how to do that either, but sounds like an interesting tool you have there. It is quite difficult to calculate mem speeds on an AMD64 based system. Hope anyone knows how to post a file on this forum!

Hiya,
I signed up to Bt broadband around a month ago and we have been so disappointed in the poor speeds we receive.
We previously had tiscalli and wish we never changed.
I have run the bt speedtest and also a speednet test.
Can anyone make sense of them?
The internet is sometimes useful but other times is ridiculously slow.

Speed tests say 6-7Mbps, but can't stream video

I have a brand new BT Home Hub 3, connected to the main socket, through an i-plate and I am on the Option 3 upto 20Mb broadband package.
When I run a speed test I typically get 6-7Mbps which whilst rubbish compared to the 'upto 20Mbps' I am paying for should be sufficient. However sometimes if I try to watch BBC i-player on maximum resolution through my PS3 it stops and loads every few seconds. I know streaming high resolution video is fairly demanding, but not that demanding, I am not doing anything else at the same time so I think 6-7Mbps should be plenty. This only happens sometimes, but if I am trying to watch a film around 08:00pm on a 'school night' it happens more often than not.
If I drop the resolution it normally settles down, so I guess I am right on the edge of what it can handle, and I have a sort of 'work around'. But I am paying for the top level of broadband BT offer (they haven't put fibre optic in my exchange yet) and have the top level of kit BT supply, and I am not asking for the moon on a stick, just BBC i-player on top resolution.
I am normally connecting the PS3 wirelessly but I always have 100% wireless signal when I check on the PS3, the Hub and PS3 are less than 3m apart, in the same room, with nothing between them and no kit that could be causing interference (except for the Plasma TV near the PS3, but it wouldn't be much use if it wasn't connected to a TV!) and a couple of times I have had the same problem when I have connected them through an ethernet cable to check. I have seen a few bits of guidance saying try a differnt channel, but I think the Hub 3 does this for you automatically.
I think sometimes when you stream video it takes a few seconds for BT to realise that you need more bandwidth and open your pipe up a bit - I am used to the video pausing and buffering a few times in the first minute then settling down - but this can go on for a whole hour.
Please could someone step me through the diagnostics I should do as a first step. I don't know much about routers but I am prepared to go in a play with settings if someone who knows what they are doing will hold my virtual hand.

Download speeds are very slow but speed test is fi...

Hi, I did a speed test which returned a result of 36mb down and 8mb up so didn't really expect a slow download. I started a download on the iplayer which normally downloads at 28-30mb per second but it didn't get above 4mb which is not good.
Anyone experiencing slow download speeds?

Speeds have gone back up to 21mb on the iplayer. Much better but still slower than usual.
When you get used to the fast speeds of Infinity, anything slower is immediately frustrating. Like having to go back to using my Pentium 75Mhz with windows 95.......horror

As I cannot run another Speedtester for a few hours I have "binned" the HH2 after reading all about many issues and gone over to my BB Business Router as used by GD. I will now monitor the readings from that to see if there is anything untoward happening, and post later if required.
In the meantime, can anyone suggest why there should be such a huge drop from yesterday, as all the profiles have remained the same? I had not changed anything prior to the test and there are no issues from my end.
Steve
The older I get, the faster I was!

hi steve,
um one word would explaing hte change in achieved download speed and that is ;
congestion
your stats havend changed only the availability of bandwidth for data throughput, its quite common on exchanges with lots of connections for htis to happen during peek times (all day at weekends and roughly 5pm>midnight weekdays)
that you should see such a dramatic change would suggest that a lot of people are online at the same time in your area and all sharing the same ammount of bandwitch capacity.
it could be casued by an equipment failure or just the sheer number of connections stretching available capacity beyond normal parameters, changing routers would do little to change that, the other option is you tried to run the test when you had something using internet bandwidth at your property
the fact your sync speed is virtually the same and your ip profile has remaind the same would also indicate this as opposed to any real problems with hardware
and omfg you actually achieved a download of near ip profile numbers i want your connection rates /
