Download Geschwindigkeit Speedtest ((BETTER))
Ilana Crumley
What can I do if I'm not getting the speed I pay for? If results from FAST.com and other internet speed tests (like dslreports.com or speedtest.net) often show less speed than you have paid for, you can ask your ISP about the results.
The speedtest sites will respond back with a speed that is approximately 2/3 of the speed you have indicated as max. This is because QoS is limiting the amount being pushed. The rest is kept in reserve for VPN/mail/VoIP/what-have-you. It is behaving as intended. Hence I suggested a real life conditions test by downloading a file, with and without QoS, whilst others are using the network as well.
If you want to see 75Mbps in the speedtest sites, you would have to increase your Down/Up numbers to 111550, or there about. However this totally defeats the object of running QoS.
This would be like wanting a fuel economic car, but moan about the lack of torque, rebore the pistons from the 1L engine to a 2L, and then act all surprised that you suddenly own a gas-guzzler that screams for dear life when you floor it.
I'm using a SG135 rev2 with Sophos XG Home installed on it.
I am using 4 Interfaces 1 WAN, 2 LAN and 1 DMZ. For accessing the Internet, I am using a 5g Router (Xiaomi AX5400) with 500mbit/s download and 50mbit/s upload. Now I am having a strange Issue. When i am doing a speedtest (speedtest.net) the download and upload speed is as good as it should be. But when I am downloading a file on dedicated speedtest sites (for example speedtestx.de, speed.hetzner.de) or on steam or any other application it is about half the bandwidth I am having in the speedtest wich is slowing down and speeding up all the time (but not getting above 250 Mbit/s).
The first time I adopted it, I saw an option to perform a speed test (to get the Gateway/Network load). The speedtest never actually worked. It seems to try initiating a speedtest but the gagues just go all the way up and then restart. Eventually it seems to time out and says my latency is 1, download speed is 0 and upload speed is 92.0MB/s. That would be nice upload if that's what my actual speeds are, but they aren't.
When testing your speed with speedtests online, you're measuring BITS per second. When downloading files, your speed is in BYTES per second. As there is 8 bits in a byte - Your download speed "should" equal your speedtest-result /8.
Also check your sources. (Local-FTP???)You should also run different speedtests to verify a result. You will almost never get a 100% correct answer by running a speedtest, but it will give you a pointer.
Addition: I just did a speedtest on speedtest.net. In my example, I "should" get a download speed of 32,5MB/s. Now - with that speed there are other things limiting downloads (like disk-speed+++) but it should give me a pointer of what I could expect with hardware that supports it.
