    I found a better speed test for satellite internet

    Thanks for the info. I guess you finally made it to your vacation home. The tests we intend to offer for satellite users are finished. At this time no additional features are going to be added beyond what is already there. Feel free to use them and provide feedback as you wish.

    Yes of course. Amazingly several people came forward during the past week and have been a great help, you included. I see no reason no reason at all to discontinue offering the majority of the other tools.

    I was afraid of that Tobi. Several people did run the remote agent and the results were unfortunately unsatisfactory, actually the agent was useless. I experienced similar results with a similar test on a different network as well. It was a great idea, just didn't turn out the way I'd hoped...

    The above wasn't referring to the Route Test. I may have a fix for your Route issue in just a bit. In the meantime I would like you to run the following (removed the remote agent access as it serves no purpose at this time) Give it a try and lets see if that maps everything from your...

    I'll do my best to explain the differences. The speed/cap test is designed to measure the data capacity limit of a connection and reports the maximum data throughput for download and upload transfers while eliminating any throughput reductions invoked as a result of TCP overhead. During...

    Very true. Bwporker proves this by his original post. I take some responsibility because the tests were poorly described and usage instructions were lacking a bit, actually a lot. We've seen the problem before. I still stand behind the results of both the TCP and Speed/Cap Tests and they...

    Tobi I would appreciate knowing what your results on TCP and SPEED tests as they are now and also how the overall summary rating of your results was. Remember to use the Satellite ISP Tools option instead. Thank you.

    You've offered nothing but a hard time, harrassing not only others in this thread but also myself. I came here to clear up an obvious mistake post made by bwporker and all you've done since is be a royal pain in the ass. I'm not trying to promote anything. I personally don't care if you use...

    <sigh> I can run a thousand tracerts to our server (both of those ip's) and so can anyone else without it triggering an alert. You obviously did something you shouldn't. I suppose I could dig a little and pull up exactly what you did beyond the logs I posted but it's pointless (kinda like...

    The server is located in a datacenter in Atlanta. And yes I'm in Florida as are half our staff and over half our registered membership. We also have an admin that's in Seattle, Wa. And your point is?

    Tobi can protect himself and I'm sure he can speak for himself. Nobody was misleading him anyway. I made a simple mistake and corrected it (it didn't take you long at all to make it an issue now did it Greg).

    Feel free to use 174.34.146.18 to run your test, they go to the same box. YOU seem to not get it. The TCP test measures connection quality only and the connections ability to maintain a steady stream of data while engaged in a SINGLE TCP SESSION. It does provide a "basic" measurement of...

    Ah yes - in his true combative form "Greg" speaks. My apologies for making a mistake, I meant PRIOR to and this has now been corrected. Still looking for that Holy Grail slip up eh Greg. Get over yourself Greg and why not participate in a way that people won't think you are an a$$. So much...

    Actually routing is many times will change. I'm assuming you are talking about PRIOR to satellite hop. Traffic management will route as needed to keep loads at a respectable level so it's wouldn't surprise me at all that they change. The company I work for may change routing several times per...

    The satellite configured route test is now working. I'm curious to see how it handles satellite now. Unsure how many if any have tested it so far so feel free.

    Here's the skype data I was able to scrounge The codec is named SILK. Compared to its predecessor, SVOPC, the new codec gives the same or better audio response at half the bit-rate for wideband, and a super wideband mode. SVOPC is a 16kHz sample rate, 8kHz audio bandwidth. The new codec has...

    The portion of PEP that Hughes calls Turbopage is nothing more than a prefetch technology based on what little I know about it so I can't think of any reason why your route would change significantly. PEP also is responsible for several other network management functions but for this discussion...

    Nope but that's an interesting twist. No changes are being made to the tests currently on the site with the exception I changed the voip codec. By the weekend there will be a new menu option called satellite tools and those tests will be custom just for you guys.

    Pull the detailed analysis of the TCP speed test and you will see exactly how they throttle or in this case manage traffic. Give it a shot and let me know if it doesn't demonstrate exactly what we're talking about. Feel free to keep your results links for comparison, they stay active at least...
