| [DSL] Speed diff between MLPP and No MLPP on 25/7 I just ran a speed test on speedtest.net and came up with these results:
Time: 8:20pm
No MLPP: Down 11Mbps, Up 6.56Mbps
Single line MLPP: Down 21Mbps, Up 6.5Mbps
Does this mean Bell/Teksavvy is throttling the connection?! |

kudos:3 | It means you no longer need MLPPP. |

How so? The MLPP is almost twice as fast! |

kudos:3 | Soory. I guess I read too fast. Why are you still using MLPPP? |

Didnt Bell say they were going to stop throttling?
Is this one speedtest or more than one? Do a tracert, maybe routing through mlppp is different. |

At 11Mbps, you are clearly running into something else. |

Maybe do a tracert to find out you're not even routing on the same route... |

Also try running your test outside of peak hours. Teksavvy DSL tends to be congested from around 7pm to midnight. |
|
| reply to xraminx
To my untrained eye, it looks like each PPP connection is getting a share of the congested download bandwidth. So with two PPP connections (I'm assuming your MLPPP is two connections over the single line), you are geting two shares and seeing twice the speed.
That said, one test at one time on speedtest is not a sample size to base anything on. |

Re: [DSL] Speed diff between MLPP and No MLPP on 25/7 Single-line MLPPP only uses one PPP session for data. There is a second session that is used for control purposes, but no data passes over it. |

Thanks Guspaz. I didn't know that! Is that the case for all implementations of single link MLPPP? |

kudos:20 | I can only speak for our implementations. Some others don't use the control connection, but dd-wrt should only be doing one connection.

aside from a couple known users, i havent heard of any congestion on dsl.
i'm maxing my 25/7 from 7pm to midnight very often.
in fact, i've never seen ANY congestion on dsl for myself.... |
|
| might as well post this to back me up.
7:30pm proof, no congestion. |

There seems to be far more reports of congestion than just "a couple of known users". I think the graph I posted a while ago is pretty convincing that there is congestion with Teksavvy but not Bell from my line. It's good to hear your counter-example though. I'm connected to 206.248.154.106; perhaps that makes a difference. |

Wanna see another one? (I get 'em all the time...)
Maybe this is more relevant...
