MyRepublic fibre - Part 4

Magically, Rotten Tomatoes decides to finally load!
Spoke too soon..... still doesn't load in IE, but loads in Chrome & FF.

Try downloading Windows 8.1 update from Windows Store.
See how fast the download is going.

If you want to test download speed of your Internet line, try to combine multiple sources at the same time.

My service is down at bedok area. Anyone else the same?

I can still TeamViewer to my home PC so I guess not.

actually i'm curious to know how many installations they can take a day. because it seems like it's just the technician bringing the ONT (and router if you purchased one) then making sure that there is connection when plugged in. anyone can share what goes on during installation day?

MR Field Engineer will use his equipment to test the signal from the TP, setup the ONT and router (if any) and conduct some testing.

Note: If you are referring to solely on MR Field Engineer and not OpenNet.

Ok so I decided to install uTorrent to test instead of relying on the stupid DLink DNS-320L.

Who said cannot reach 3MBps?

Which version of uTorrent are you using?

The highest download speed I saw is around 30+MB/s.

I was on PURE100 for the pass 2 years and I didn't have any major issues with MR, there were some disconnections, crawling speed, etc but they were minor issues that happen maybe once a month, come and gone quickly. I didn't trouble accessing China sites and Twitch was streaming at source smoothly--I don't use Twitch actually, just tested it cause someone kept complaining, I had tested PURE with VQ concurrently. although VQ was more stable for Twitch, the difference was very minor. all in all, I was please with PURE100.

After upgraded to 1Gbps, everyday browsing and P2P was as good and better for utorrent, I could do over 20MBps per torrent, not that I need that speed cause I always more concern about the data I owe to the others. One of the main reason I upgraded is because I need higher upload as PURE only allow 50Mbps, the other is MEGA which I upload frequently to share my videos--NOT pirated hollywood movie or PORN as some VQ supporter was trying to accused me when I proved to them that VQ has lower upload speed to MEGA as compare to MR PURE. the 1Gbps upload is better, needless to say but unfortunately, the upload to MEGA had drop to VQ level! my wild guess is MR is throttling the upload cause the speed will drop from ~1.2MBps to ~500KBps after 1 minute without fail! or maybe the NC has bigger pipe to MEGA compare to MR's own network. for this alone, I kind of hope I didn't upgraded...

TL;DR, just my whining, MR 1Gbps does able to sustain close to 100MBps of download, at least locally.

5GB done in less than 1.5 minute or 55MBps average. you don't need what SSD or high end whatever BS from the other saleperson had claimed.

I understand that there is a download speed cap for MEGA but not sure about upload speed.

Try utorrenting Ubuntu. I got 40+MBps

 

[nestorvie]

Which version of uTorrent are you using?

The highest download speed I saw is around 30+MB/s.

just downloaded from their website, so I guess it's the latest version.

Torrent speed depends on seed so if you got more local seeds, the speed will be a lot better. From my test above I still believe if I added more torrent to download at the same time, the total speed can still scale up.

 

[bovi77]

Are you using wired or wireless connection?

I believe it was mentioned several times that there are many factors e.g. number of seeders, ratio etc affecting the torrents speed.

direct wired of course.

Thanks for the torrent adv settings maybe that would help. that for utorrent? how about router side settings?

anyone know how to good settings for tixati?

nestorvie

if you are referring to me, of course i can only say its my neighbour because it is my neighbour and I wouldn't go to him if I already had a singnet line instead of MR.

Twitch & BBC is 100% smooth? I call BS on that. even today twitch VOD playing buffers which it never used to. Twitch streaming has long periods "months" of poor performance and like weeks of good performance since 1 year ago.

what speeds are you getting from Mega?

theoretical & intermittent high performance isn't the benchmark we should be looking at.

was this with utorrent free? did you change any settings?

how about your DL speed from Mega?
thanks!

Steam uses P2P to download. its very fast

 

[newbish]

btw anyone play games on Steam here? i saw a picture that MR post on facebook quite some time back. the person had 100MB/s download for some game, can't remember.

anyone willing to redownload their games to see the dl rate?

Nah there was a few other people before you. All what I was trying to say is unless your neighbour show test result like I did, or you did test their line yourself, do not trust all what they say.

For Twitch.tv perhaps I can make a video of me watching twitch, and upload to Youtube later.

Regarding download speed from Mega currently I do not have any download link... can you PM me a few for testing purpose?

That was with free uTorrent. I did port forwarding and change the max half_open to 10000, as usual. You can refer to this guide

Optimizing Tixati For Speed

 

[xRenol]

just downloaded from their website, so I guess it's the latest version.

Torrent speed depends on seed so if you got more local seeds, the speed will be a lot better. From my test above I still believe if I added more torrent to download at the same time, the total speed can still scale up.

Sometimes more seeds do not mean better download speed.

If the seeders limit their upload speed, the download speed will not increase tremendously.

Here you go, watching 3 Twitch streams at source quality, and BBC

MyRepublic Twitch and BBC test - YouTube

I hope you can watch youtube smoothly. If not, download the original (hi-res) video here: http://namle.info/2014-07-04_110256057.flv

BBC has some issue when I reload the channel, but after a few click around and switching to HD, it become smooth. No idea why and it didn't happen in the past.

Which plan are you on? I'm on the 1gbps and have been having problems loading twitch streams, and if they actually load they constantly freeze.

1Gbps. Just upgraded yesterday.

no issues with twitch on source now

Test speed on Mega

Not sure if it's good or not good... but I still think you need to download multiple files at once to determine the max speed of the line.

 

[FSC]

If you want to test download speed of your Internet line, try to combine multiple sources at the same time.

If you can use IDM on downloads from Window Store, please share!

Downloading the 3.42 GB Windows 8.1 update from Windows Store hosted on MR's CDN servers is ******* capped to 2 MB/s!

Link please.
How do you know it's not Microsoft limiting the download speed?

 

[IAmNiceify]

damm sian twitch buffering took forever

 

[wizardundo]

Hm.. Finally it's my turn for the installation (1Gbps plan)..

But the download cannot hit higher than 610mb/s
