Interesting that its asymmetry thing1. Perhaps some traffic shaping on the switch access ports.

With a bit of jiggery I can tease a more symmetric one out of it:


There's a large number of things that could affect it, and it could even just have changed between the "download" and "upload" phases of the test. Or the outbound direction maybe more occupied with something else  ;)

It was better asymmetric the Download was 10 times higher and the upload 2 x higher. Presumably you are sat on the end of a 1Gb bearer.
I think you'll find it's a bit more complicated than that.

Not fast, but a factor of lots better than my home connection. Note DSL, not ADSL...:

Our slow speed is only half the problem - the connection keeps dropping out too.

Thanks, BT.    ::-)

edit - I though that I'd get an image above. I'll try again, sorry.

A rural downside - but there are other advantages of living up the end of a track in the mountains of North Wales

i let it choose it's preferred server for the test which ended up in Dublin(!) though.  I suspect that has most effect on the ping time and fine-tuning the server used woudln't improve my other scores much...

Yup...
