Glad to hear that. What is the issue in the end?
So you have a static IPv4 address and they change it for you, then the issue got resolved.
That sounds very strange. It seems to me there were issues from Viewquest side and they just want to find an excuse.
For example if your existing IP address segment has bad routing but that should just affect the international sites speed and should not really affect the local speed to Viewquest speed test server.
Anyway, glad that you sorted out the issue.

You'd think that, but static addressing makes for very inefficient use of the address space. With dynamic addressing they can move address blocks around according to how many customers they have on each node etc, with static that becomes harder.
You want to route larger address blocks because you lose 3 addresses every time you create a subnet, and legacy ip addresses are expensive and in short supply.
You route a small block for static customers to a particular area, then most of those customers leave and go to another provider - now you have a smaller number with a bunch of unused addresses and you want to reallocate some of the addresses to customers elsewhere - only you cant, because you've committed to providing a static address to a customer in that area so you can't move the whole block easily.
So you end up with very messy hacks where you tunnel certain addresses back and forth etc.
That's why a lot of providers don't offer static addressing at all and many that used to don't anymore. That's also why AWS uses NAT for all IPv4 users etc.
With IPv6 this problem goes away, as you have no shortage of addresses and can just leave large blocks assigned incase you have customers to use them in the future. You also don't waste 3 addresses per subnet, not that it would matter anyway.
just want to clarify something. I never had static IP. They just said they needed to change my IP and do something at the backend. The problem has been fixed since then. it's probably some routing / NAT / oversaturation of some node.
i'm getting decent speed on wireguard, around 80 to 90 Mbps constantly on Beryl, which is sufficient for my streaming needs.

Have left a cronjob to track speeds. Just pulling up today's.
Edit: Was going through my archives and noticed the last time I had results from Singtel and Viewquest was on 10 Feb 2022. I hope that does not mean that I got blocked by their firewall - only one test a day.
Just did some checking. -s25960 throws up [error] Configuration - No servers defined (NoServersException). Viewquest works okay on the CLI, so I'm guessing it's a firewall block.

Took my NAS dying and needing to be redone to get down to this. There's a Docker container that does hourly speedtests and charts the results.
https://hub.docker.com/r/henrywhitaker3/speedtest-tracker/
For those doing it on their Synology NAS, you'll need to manually add the speedtest executable to the relevant BIN folder (eg, /volume1/docker/speedtest/www/app/Bin) and run a command to accept the EULA.
1. Get the latest executable from: https://install.speedtest.net/app/cli/ookla-speedtest-1.1.1-linux-x86_64.tgz
2. Extract it on your PC. Copy the speedtest executable to the BIN folder (eg. /volume1/docker/speedtest/www/app/Bin)
3. Execute php /config/www/artisan speedtest:eula to accept the GPDR.
3a. For Synology NASes, you can either SSH in or just run it off the Docker-> Console or Portainer -> Console.
Haven't gotten it to work on my Ubuntu ARM box - it doesn't state that it supports ARM, so I'm guessing there might be an issue with the architecture.
Simple enough interface. Am letting it populate.
Edit: Did some digging. Had to use the dev-arm flag for the ARM64 architecture - so for those with a raspberry pi lying around, this is a useful docker container to have. A simple speedtest every hour, and tracked - gives a good overview of how your network performs at a glance.

I'm curious, how is your home network wired up? Do you have two ISPs or you only have the Raspberry Pi 400 to do the routing but the ASUS AX82U in AP mode?
Both of them are running in router mode with respective public IPv4 address. It is a special feature for Singtel ONT users where you can get two seperate networks, if you use a VLAN switch.
Ref: https://forums.hardwarezone.com.sg/...properly-singtel-asus-rt-ax86u.6564040/page-2
If you are not a Singtel ONT user, then you need to subscribe to dual 1Gbps plan (Singtel 1+1, Starhub 2Gbps, M1 2Gbps and MyRepublic 1+1) or dual ISP plans.
BTW, I have since switched the Raspberry Pi 400 OpenWRT installation to virtual pfSense VM running on Intel J4105 mini PC with PVE 7.0 virtualization plafform.

BTW, if you run OOkla speedtest client using embedded system (eg: your router, or ARM SBC), then you need to check whether itself is the bottleneck or not.
For example, my Asus RT-AX82U can run the client but the download speed is on the lower side.
On the other hand, a low power Intel J4105 mini PC running PVE 7.0 has no issues.
Even a Debian LXC container inside the PVE can run at full speed.
For example, my Asus RT-AX82U can run the client but the download speed is on the lower side.

So that means you're able to have two public IPs? I'm using SingTel ONT as well,
Yes that is correct.

Today's results.
Singtel's international upload speeds seem to have dropped to 10-15% of the gigabit bandwidth, especially noticeable with servers that have gigabit download speeds.
Edit: Added 3 China servers. Upload speeds to Guangzhou and Shanghai are imo unusable at 0.3% of the download speeds.

Looks good. I attached an Excel spreadsheet in the first post that automatically formats the raw CSV results so it's more human readable.
To use it,
1. Open the excel spreadsheet.
2. Go to Data toolbar
3. click "Refresh all".
4. Select the results-yyyymmdd.csv and the bottom table on the "Results" tab will be generated from the imported entries.
5. Change tab to the "Alternate" and copy/paste from there.
Hope this helps.
