Subject: Wanted: Asia bandwidth test files
Hi,
I'm sitting on what is advertised as a 100mbit/sec connection in Cambodia. =
I have been trying to verify that, because I do not believe it is valid.
I did iperf tests from a number of network locations, and at one point I di=
d get 71mbit/sec (most of the results were around 20-25mbit/sec or less). B=
ut I dont think 30 second iperf tests are particularly revealing when the b=
andwith rate might change drastically over the day. I considered doing a 3 =
day iperf test, but somehow this seems not how the tool was designed.
Someone suggested I find test files from various Asian locations to downloa=
d via wget. I found a bunch of 100mb test files for various providers in N.=
America and Europe on webhostingtalk, which were interesting, but I never =
got more than around 5mbit/sec with them.
Does anyone have any machines in Japan, S. Korea, or other asian locations =
with good bandwidth. where they can host a 100mbit file so I can attempt to=
download it to test this?
Other suggestions for reliable tests would also be welcome! Please, dont su=
ggest some flash garbage :)
thanks!
