| [ Extreme] Performance Saturation
So I'm having this weird issue that started happening (it seems) a few weeks after a Rogers technician came by to fix the line coming to my house.
I use newgroups, have 3 other computer users in the house and I'm running Tomato with QOS turned on my router.
I've always been able to max out my speed at like 1700 Kb/s while downloading from newsgroups. The other computers users would not be affected. However now, as soon as I download (using 4 connections) my speed hit the max however they get drowned out. They can't even hit a single webpage.
Is this throttling or what's going on? |

H0H 0H0 | It's not a symptom of throttling. I'd be looking at QOS issues on your router. |

@rogers.com | Turning off QOS has no effect.
Mind you this setup has worked for me for over a year. Same cable modem, same router, same everything. Now all of a sudden one computer drowns out the whole connection... |

| and what else is happening? Check all the machines for viruses/malware. if a wireless router make sure nobody else is stealing your connection. Make sure nobody's got torrents running causing upload saturation. Upload saturation will kill connections. |

This is so weird. Just ran a speedtest.net
22Mbps/0.7Mbps ping 36ms
Download engaged...
0.78Mbps/-- (never finished) ping 50ms
All the while my download stays at a strong 1.7MB/s even. Seems like the pipe to my house is tiny!
None of my machines have viruses/malware. Wireless router is secured, and don't even use torrents! |

H0H 0H0 | Are you trying to run a speedtest while you're downloading?
To do so is meaningless. All it tells you is how much you can fight to download from the two sites simultaneously. |

How about listing your QOS settings. Remember Tomato QOS actually ONLY applies to packets BACK to Rogers; not incoming traffic..... I kmow that seems backwards but think about.... How could the router at YOUR end restrict the incoming traffic; if it dropped packets they would already have used bandwidth on the pipe to your house...
Also, in QOS settings what do you have for "Prioritize small packets with these control flags" |
