As mentioned in the post it's IKEV2.

I'm nowhere near getting those speeds with 3BB 900/500.

I get 300-350 mbps towards singapore with ipsec using my digitalocean vps droplet though.

perhaps I need to optimize tcp window on vps.

I would agree it's not easy to achieve 300 to 400Mb VPN speeds to the US/Europe, but it is doable. 

 

I just did some speedtest.net tests to the US west coast and Europe....done on this fine Sunday/12Apr/at around 5pm which is probably a pick time with most every hiding from COVID-19 at their homes using the internet.  Sorry, didn't feel motivated enough to use Testmy.net or some other speed tester.  I'm on an AIS Fibre 700/50 plan....used an ExpressVPN IKEV2 connection. 

 

Now it took me about 20 tries to get below 6 results over 300Mb, but the results that didn't reach 300Mb were still well over 200Mb...usually in the 250-275Mb range.   

 

I sure do want to see some more speedtest.net results from some NordVPN users....results from those using the NordVPN app on their computer vs installed on their router since most folks just use an app for a VPN connection--that how I do it.   Would really like to see some more NordVPN results "from Thailand" to the US because I just may sign-up with them if they consistently have fast speeds of over 200Mb to the US.

 

 

is this IPSEC l2tp?

Asus AC86u or Synology RT2600AC (6990 thb)

make sure disable wifi radio (2.4 and 5ghz) on 3bb router when you use a second router.

They want to get 900 mbps on wifi ????

ONU is just an ONU. I highly doubt 3BB will send people during corona crisis just to install an ONU.

Tell them to convert your modem to Bridge mode on telephone and they'll do it.

Then connect your router in PPPoE mode and use it however you like. You'll need PPPoE login and password from 3bb. It's possible it's written on contract paper.

Sorry for being a bit off topic but that's nonsense. TTL != latency. TTL stands for Time To Live and is unrelated. Maybe you confused it with RTT? Latency while it can impact throughput does not mean a 1Gbps upstream in Germany can't push nearly 1Gbps to California. Just need big enough TCP windows.

And you have a big TCP window set in your devices to benefit from this speed bump? I don't think so, so yes you can't get 1 Gbps international speed even if you have a dedicated business line with a single connection.

I haven't read any contracts lately. All I remember were the contracts I read from CAT that clearly stated they cannot guarantee any speed. If that has changed now, that's good news. They will have to limit sharing.

 

However, the reality is that speed to international servers is slow no matter what speed your service offers. Speed to local servers is not useful for most of us.

Define slow for international servers? You will never get 1gbps international speed due to latency and shared connection. Even a dedicated server in Germany with 1Gbps dedicated line can't get more than 150 Mbit towards California due to TTL and TCP/IP

You are correct,  I am maxing out the CPU.  Now why would that be with an I5 processor? 

 

speedtest consumes too much cpu when speed is high. It's not optimized for higher speeds on browsers. That's why they made a windows app which uses less cpu resources.

I'm staying with non-o based on marriage extension in Phuket. My visa expires on December so I guess I'm lucky? I don't understand why they need letter from my embassy to extend my visa or do anything? If covid-19 crsis is not resolved by this year, I'll need that paper from my embassy correct? Assuming I can't get out or get in to Phuket, how am I supposed to get this letter from embassy which will require a personal visit? 

don't connect ethernet and wifi at the same time!

disable wifi when you use ethernet connection.

You can't buy a random GPON and hope it'll work with 3BB. It doesn't.

If 3BB provides it and install it for you, then it'll work. Otherwise, stick to the Bridge mode.

You won't get fiber in most of the condo projects so your speed will be lower depending on the distance via VDSL2. 10 or 20 mbps upload seems to be possible easily.

it says their shop will be closed. not the internet.

From what I understand, 3BB throttles like hell those on 1000/100 24Month packages. They probably forgot to not throttle against their speedtest servers lol.

Anyone here can explain why on my network, with whatever pc or laptop and using whatever browser, my speed test using the 3bb speed test - speedtest.net or other speed test websites show my download around 400 Mbps on multi thread connection, but the Windows speed test app as one and only shows double that result?

 

 

having a internet security / firewall / antivirus (with webfilter) ?

But you can switch to single connection with speedtest.net, as seen in my previous post

Almost nobody uses single mode. 94 mbit in a single connection shows a serious router problem in your local area, thats why you can't get anywhere near 900 mbit in your tests.

speedtest is also multi threaded but how they calculate results are different. I don't like speedtest.net's multi threaded connection and their results mean nothing to me (except for local testing)

TOT speedtest is not based on Speedtest.net, I mean this one:

http://speedtest1.totbroadband.com:8080/

it's a speedtest on github

https://github.com/librespeed/speedtest

and it is multi threaded as you can expect.

also, correction factor is by default 1.06 so I don't believe 1042 mbps download on a 1Gb LAN/WAN port router, max possible is 930-940 mbps

They probably changed modem to bridge remotely via TR-069 that's why. How nice of them lol.

option 1) Static IP in Asus router like 192.168.1.10 for Wan and DMZ from Fiberhome to that IP so it avoids double nat

option 2) get fiberhome router to bridge mode, it's not easy but it can be done if you search well enough. I shared a guide last october.

If they start to offer 2Gbit plans in the future (they need to improve their switches and GPON devices, which support only 2.5G Down/1.25G up but comes with only a 1G ethernet), I'll consider improving Wifi at home.

I dare 3BB to provide 2Gbit plans, because why not? LOL

It's too expensive. You can't even get over 300 mbps international speed at 1Gbit packages, having more than 300 mbps effective wifi speed (600 mbps connection speed on Wifi) is useless.

a 4k hdr netflix video consumes 15 Mbit bandwidth. I download files to my nas which is connected via ethernet. I'd go for Wifi 6 if I couldn't install modem/router where I want to have it due to walls etc and if I have to carry whole internet from one floor to another via wifi. 

My less than a year old Macbook Pro 2019 don't support Wifi 6, my Intel nuc don't support it either. Asus AX6000 and AX11000 is too expensive and none of my devices support it except iPhone 11 pro.

Avoid TP-Link and other chinese routers.

We've had 3BB fibre for a couple of years now and it's never gotten anywhere near the advertised speeds. Many visits from the mechanic boys made small improvements .. including switching ports at the local substation .. but still not great. They 'upgraded' the modem a while back but currently we still only get [on the 1200 package] 600/600 on LAN and a measly 60/60 on WiFi. That's on a [ac capable] Windows 10 PC right next to the modem; 50/50 on my phone. Maybe need to buy my own modem. Thoughts? Suggestions what to buy?

Asus AC86U is a good buy, so does Synology RT2600AC (6990 thb in lazada)

Here again with some more " Wisdom "

 

Did you notice that the 3bb technicians did speed tests with his own laptop, connected by LAN cable, and got download speeds of 322 Mbps?

 

I would assume that he has a device with sufficient spec, as he has to show that there is no problem with the network.

 

Now for my main PC, you think that Intel Core i7 with 8Gb Ram with a recently installed Windows 7 Ultimate X64 running from a 500 Gb SSD and the PC connected by a 1.5 meter Cat5e LAN cable directly to the router would suffice?

Maybe get a new Cat6 cable and try it. Who knows maybe it's the fault of ethernet cable.
