- Router stats v web-bases speed tests
- Posted by me@privacy.net on August 14th, 2007
Which figures are more reliable: the down speed shown in the router's
(Vigor 2600+) online status or test results from either?:
http://www.giganews.com/test_connect.html
or
http://www.thinkbroadband.com/
When the router is indicating1696000, the two tests are returning
0.7Mb/s.

1696000 what? As in what unit? Assuming it's bytes then that probably
means that your router is /synchronising/ with the exchange at 1696kbps.
The other two tests are returning 700kbps (just under half what your
router says).
Do you know if you're connection is based on IPStream or LLU?
What happens if you run a speedtest from here?

There's your problem. You'll not get much faster than 200kbps no matter
how fast your router/modem is connected at the moment. BT have reduced
the throughout of your line.
If your router remains connected at the higher speed then your download
speed should increase again within a day or two.

Indeed. The ISP (Zen?) should be able to tell you when this happened as
the sync rate at the time of a bRAS event occurring is contained in the
reporting they should have access to.

What could cause this? You say that "BT have reduced..." is this an
automatic effect due to line quality?
I'm 3.6km from the exchange (as the crow flies). The router is
plugged into a BT-installed extension (4 weeks ago at cost of £166).
You say "no matter how fast your router .....". Is the down speed
reported by the router different to the 200kbps you quote?
The fastest router speed I've seen over the last four weeks is
2048kbps. This is the router plugged into the main BT socket (not the
extension) with no phones connected. Got 1984kbps plugged into the
test socket. Yet the two test sites I referenced in my original post
were indicating a speed of ~0.3 to 0.5Mbps.

Yes, it is the work of BT Wholesale's Dynamic Line Management tools.
There's a bit more info about this sort of stuff here:

Yes. Your router will show the data rate between itself and the DSLAM at
the telephone exchange. You actual download speed can differ from this
quite significantly in certain circumstances.
If your kit remains synchronised at these rates without any significant
fluctuations then your download speed should also increase after a day
or two.
