Re: [nznog] Comcom/Samknows broadband testing from a different perspective

26 Sep 2018

      OpenWRT/LEDE binary, Just shell on.. opkg update, -i what you need..., netstat -antop | grep EST this will surprise you, dest will surprise you more then I� put in the green wheely.� On the WAN link you may see lots of src privates indicating typical dinky rtr/fw nat not coping
similarly actual/true $paid for bandwidth at src (home) = rubbish + legit flows. rubbish flows (in/out) of breaks packet concurrency increasing delays and maxin out (netflix/gaming stream) PDVs on clients - recommend filter|block upstream of router will lead to a huge improvement in media quality
and performance of your home router.
good luck - regards brian

There is a Geekzone thread that I kicked off when I attended the Commerce
...
Commission presentation about Samknows and got to meet Sam.

I've done a bit of analysis on the traffic but haven't dug too deep yet as
...
I didn't want to bust open the box and try and reverse engineer their
...
OpenWRT build.
...

...
Happy to put anyone in touch with the guys I have dealt with directly from
...
the Comcom and Samknows too.

Hi Brian,

You should call their support if you think there’s something going on
...
...
...
that’s impacting your connection.
...
...
...
...
...
...
They will detect if your connection is in use and doing more than (I
...
...
...
think) 64kbit/s in the last 30s or something, and won’t run the tests.
...
...
...
...
...
...
They have some clever stuff to detect if your wifi is in use, without
...
...
...
being connected to your network and without being your AP. Perhaps that’s
...
...
...
playing up?
...
...
...
...
...
...
Pretty sure it’s publicly documented, check out the links in that
...
...
...
original post and if not we can dig up some other stuff I’m sure.

Hi all,
...
...
...
...
...
...
Longtime listener; first time caller.
...
...
...
...
...
...
I signed up to SamKnows (partly out of curiosity and partly so I can have
...
...
...
hard data about my connection that I pay for) at home.
...
...
...
...
...
...
Over the last week my connection has gone from slightly adequate with the
...
...
...
occasional drop out to a slow connection with regular drop outs.
...
...
...
...
...
...
Netflix and YouTube are stuttering, video games drop connection, and
...
...
...
websites hang at random times.
...
...
...
...
...
...
I can't help but think that the email shared by Dylan sheds some light on
...
...
...
why that maybe.
...
...
...
...
...
...
This programme won't be terribly successful if everyone gets sick of
...
...
...
having a terrible connection during peak hours and shuts the white box
...
...
...
down.
...
...
...
...
...
...
Pretty frustrating.
