#Vodafone when your paying for 1000/50 speed:

@fuchsiii That number is sus, make sure your ethernet cable is in good condition and has all 4 pairs functional, because 100 Mbit would make sense with a damaged cable.

@krutonium you could be right on that it could be that the network card dropped the synced speed to 100 for some reason.

@fuchsiii @krutonium still, other systems showed the same.

Running speedtest-cli on a machine directly plugged into a consistent 1GBaseT connection yields the same results:

  • Extremely high ping spikes that result in extreme #lagging in realtime-applications like #CS2.

@fuchsiii @krutonium even if this was caused by a degraded connection to 100BaseTX, that'll still not excuse >250ms ping to something in spitting distance to #DECIX when previously then-#Unitymedia had sometimes sub-ms and ususally single-digit ms pings to that location.

  • It just makes playing #CS2 impossible and rather shows a clogged #peering by #Vodafone towards said location, yielding in some packets being send around the globe instead of the shortest path possible.

@kkarhan @fuchsiii Totally fair! I really only looked at the speed, since I've seen the reported latency on congested connections become quite ridiculous so that makes it hard to use that metric reliably.

@krutonium @fuchsiii This issue only popped up to my attention due to extreme #lagging in #CS2.

  • Let's just say having 78ms to London is not normal espechally at 0030 CEST and having peak lags in the realm of 400+ ms is just unacceptable because that's like GSO-based #SATCOM territory...

@kkarhan @fuchsiii CS2 is Counter Strike here right?

@krutonium @fuchsiii yeah...
