Internet Bottlenecks

OK IT guys... what's up with this?

 

I'm doing some work with a company based in St. Louis, MO.

 

We're transferring files via FTP and getting poo speeds.

 

I have 10Mbps fiber up and down.

 

They have 20Mbps fiber up and down.

 

We're getting like 0.6 Mbps on transfers.

 

 

If I do speed tests on sites east of the Mississippi River, I'm getting ~8Mbps down and 4-6 Mbps up.

 

If I do speed tests on sites west of the Mississippi River, I'm getting ~1Mbps down and ~3 Mbps up.

 

 

What gives?

IP is from United States(US) in region North America

What does this tell you?  I'm assuming the time out can't be good?

 

poo, sorry... it was in table format when I posted it...

 

[removed] is showing it's on a dial up connection.  TheRed actually answered correctly lol.  Please note I'm not a network admin and don't really know what I'm talking about...but that's what it says.

What.

 

 

The.

 

 

fug?

 

 

 

Dial up?  How is it routing traffic on the net?

 

It depends.  It could be part of that company's legacy system.  You'd be surprised at how many systems are still using dial up(if a credit card takes more than a few seconds to clear it's probably dialing in with a modem, for example).  It's not necessarily a machine that's routing internet traffic, just a machine your packets are going through.  

 

Thinking about it actually, you should probably delete that trace you posted. Possible security concern (even if negligible).

Yeah, I did, thanks... I had X'd out the relevant IP addressses...

 

 

I'm going to do more research on this... it's very interesting.

I'm not sure if this is exactly your issue but internet throttling is a huge issue lately. Especially if you play League of Legends.. This thread kind of explains some of it..

tl;dr there's diff types of ISPs and there's a disagreement between them and they're being shitheads and giving bad service until someone gives in and pays extra money. It's not necessarily just Comcast either.

 

I'm one of the many people who have this problem with really good internet but I can't play a game I like without huge ass lag spikes (500ms up to 16000ms lag spikes). Packet shaping ftl.

 

I've been using http://www.internethealthreport.com/ to check and see when a good time to play would be.
