Recently I switched over from NextGenTel<\/a> to Get<\/a> as broadband supplier, and upped my subscription plan to 18mbps\/4mbps<\/a> (double upload). However, even though this was over double the bandwidth NextGenTel could offer, Get have yet been unable to deliver according to what’s promised\/sold.<\/p>\n

Below is a chart, updated several times a day, showing what the current line speed amounts to.<\/p>\n

Well, for now it does not look vey good (18mbit equals 2250KBps) – I get under half of advertised download speed. Their tech support team is currently working on it, so hopefully they will be able to resolve the issue soon….<\/p>\n

To test this, the following unix command is being used:<\/p>\n

FTP_PASSIVE_MODE=yes \/usr\/bin\/fetch -o \/dev\/null ftp:\/\/ftp.uninett.no\/FreeBSD\/releases\/i386\/ISO-IMAGES\/8.1\/FreeBSD-8.1-RELEASE-i386-memstick.img<\/code><\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Update<\/span>: More line data coming in, now the graph looks like this (changed to show actual mbit down speed instead (expecting about 17-18mbits):<\/p>\n

Update 2<\/span>: I try testing bandwidth against a new server, ftp.gathering.org, based on suggestions from the Get ISP technical team. Here is the current data:
