I need better Upload Speeds

jeff24680 · Post by **jeff24680** » Fri Mar 16, 2001 12:32 am

Ok I have a cable modem form coegeco and I am running servers for games here and there but I need to know is there is anyway to get faster upload speeds of at least 100. Is there anyway to make your cable modem uploads speeds faster is my questions

What is your upload cap and actual upload speed? If you don't know your cap, contact your provider.

You can get DSL hehe ...
the ping is better and the upload band is better

That depends on the area and provider.

There's CLEC DSL and ILEC DSL, SDSL and ADSL, etc.

I asked b/c you may already be reaching your cap. If you are, you're out of luck, as you won't be able to get above the cap.

BTW, 45KBps is better than most and servers on residential cable are usually prohibited.

hehe is 130KB/s good for my upload during peak time? .... my ISP is Shaw@Home

And if anyone wonders they do not cap the modems...

That's almost as fast as mine. I get 1.1mbps (about 135KBps).

Eat 1.2mbps

I was wondering how you people get those speeds or are you talking about Kbps or KBps and what is the difference between those

We are lucky. We have high upload caps. Kbps (or kbps) = kiloBITS/sec. KBps = kiloBYTES/sec.

yeah you are lucky damnit I want those speeds I'm gonna call and complain and what is the difference between a byte and bit

ok this brings me to a new question is the anyway to get the caps off your cable modem or is that illegal

It's not possible and it's against the AUP/TOS anyway.

Ok is there any tweaks to make my uploads better my downloads kick ass but my uploads stink does anybody have a site that guarentees better uploads

glc1 · Post by **glc1** » Fri Mar 16, 2001 3:32 pm

Tweaks won't help you if you're reaching your cap.

Lex Luthor · Post by **Lex Luthor** » Fri Mar 16, 2001 3:41 pm

Optimum Online here at 1Mbps up

Hey, Mister Pain, should *I* switch to DSL to get higher uploads like you suggested to this guy? Oh 10ms pings to my gateway too.

Didn't think so.

AT&T RR w/ upstream @ 5Mbps.

Can you actually achieve that?

Conduct and post a test from dslreports.com.

HalfLifer · Post by **HalfLifer** » Sun Mar 18, 2001 2:33 pm

No he cant. 5mbps upstream is given to a node, and im sure he has more than 20 people on his.

Nodes can have multiple channels.

HalfLifer · Post by **HalfLifer** » Sun Mar 18, 2001 2:40 pm

Doesnt matter, techically, its impossible.

PrestonConnors · Post by **PrestonConnors** » Sun Mar 18, 2001 3:05 pm

I tried the dslreports speed tests...they did not yeild the same thruput then a closer (much closer) site.

They were in CA I am in FL...

This is what I did though. I sent two 1Mb files at exactly the same time to the same server via an FTP sesssion. My next post is the direct data from the FTP sessions.

Not if that is in fact the cap and there's enough bandwidth.

HalfLifer · Post by **HalfLifer** » Sun Mar 18, 2001 3:53 pm

My maximum bandwidth is 10mbps/10mbps, but you dont see me getting that much?

PrestonConnors · Post by **PrestonConnors** » Sun Mar 18, 2001 3:55 pm

Maybe I'm the only person on my node? How do I check?

There's probably too many people, but that doesn't mean that someone else can't. Is it unusual, yes, but look at OOL.

It's definitely possible technically, but unlikely.

HalfLifer · Post by **HalfLifer** » Sun Mar 18, 2001 5:55 pm

120 user node, not that many.

Oh, hows this for upload?

HalfLifer · Post by **HalfLifer** » Sun Mar 18, 2001 5:58 pm

BTW, 260KB/sec isnt 5mbps.

Yes, I know, and it's about 2mbps, which is a lot greater than OOL and the few lucky @Home users that are getting around 1mbps.

260x2 is around 5mbps.

I can't get 5Mbps during one concurrent connection but if I have multiple connections (2 or more) they will add up to 5mbps. I think I am unable to transfer anything over 1 concurrent connection at 5mbps is because I have yet to find something that is able to receive a sustained 5Mbps over one concurrent connection.

donald_k · Post by **donald_k** » Sun Mar 18, 2001 11:07 pm

hehe update I get 130 to 160KB/s right now.... kinda nice to have very close to T1 uploads

... pity on those with 128kbps cap. (Oh HalfLifer my modem is not uncapped in any fashion). And if I run concurrent connections I can upload at my max of 1.2MB/s (but with the node overloaded I might be lucky to push off 500KB/s). But I base my upload speeds of a single connection so the game is fair.

oh btw..my node has 2000 homes on it

(and yes Shaw told me this, they maxed it out at the 2000 limit). However coming soon will be node segemtation

and boy I cannot wait.... then I'll get my 220KB/s+ uploads back....

HalfLifer why must you continually gloat about your upload speed? Does it make you feel superior you do know someone with a better connection will just come along and outdo you.

I should post the pic of my ICMP flood I did on an ADSL modem a few months back..... in fact I will...
