Why is my internet so slow?
I'm promised 100/10 and I'm getting 500 kbps down. and 70 kbps up! What the fuck! I want my money back!
-
I assume you're promised 100Mbps down and 10Mbps up? I'd also like to think you're having copper technology due to asymmetric speeds coming from VDSL (very-high-bit-rate digital subscriber line). Do you live in the middle of nowhere?
A. Attenuation on the copper line is bad (there's probably many repeaters on the line that amplify the signal, but in the end it might result in loss of speeds (this is if you're getting your connection straight from the DSL).
B. If you live in an apartment building then you're most likely using some copper-hybrid-optic solution. If so, then there is a network switch somewhere in the house that splits connections between customers and it has an uplink of 1000Mbps - optical cable that runs to MC (media converter) and into the switch (SDF or ODF is also possible).
Switches usually have 20 ports that are assigned for customers and for copper-hybrid-optics technology they're usually 100Mbps each. If the 1000Mbps uplink is overloaded by customers behind the same switch then some customers behind the switch might have some issues with speeds.
C. The VDSL card or switch is having high BER (bit error rate) and ISP never cared to fix it/check it.
D. ISP has made a mistake assigning your speeds. We make mistakes too.
I don't know, man... depends - I need more details.

I had that problem with my last house, the cables (broadband, in Norway, I know el oh el) were old and could only deliver 10 mbit down and 0.5 up.
Also as Lincoln said sometimes when switching to a new operator, they make a mistake with assigning the proper speed.
-
Copper can actually transfer quite high frequency signal, copper being old can only mean high attenuation.
@Panda
Have you even called the ISP and complained? Ask them to send technicians to measure the line parameters.

You don't even know how many times I've done that. Their answer: "Sorry for the inconvenience. We will call you in 3 days to check internet connection speed. Can you leave us your number?"
And they never call back.
I think it's unfair, that we're paying for internet + 2 phones + 1 TV about 55 € in fact, I can't even watch HD channels on TV. The phones disconnect automatically sometimes. My internet provider is located in my country (Slovenia) and it's AMIS d.o.o. located in Maribor. I've had SiOL, located in Ljubljana (near me), but the internet was shit and my neighbors are still having shitty connection with it.
-
Lol, sounds like a pretty shitty ISP. Meaning they don't do documentation properly.
If you have an option to change the provider then you can always consider that.
-
I mean, I wouldn't care if I would live in a country with more than 10M people. But I live in a god damn country with 2M people, which only about 50% of it are having internet connection, about 70% are using SiOL, 20% Amis, the rest are other internet companies, that cannot give internet signal to our home.
But anyways,
continue with the topic.

I don't think population really matters. Estonia has a population of 1.3M for example.
Tell you what, fill a complaint towards the ISP. They hate to see people complain (or even worse seeing people ending the contract with them).
By complaining you would either get them to check what's wrong ASAP or you'll get a compensation cause of all the suffering... or they won't give a fuck, cause that's how it rolls in their company.
It all depends on how far you are willing to go (example would be getting on government law level, complaining about false advertising).

Why won't the municipality let us have fiber where I live?
-
That's a new one. I don't think I have ever heard municipality denying this.
Maybe they simply don't like technicians working in the area for no reason, since there's maybe very little demand for fiber at where you live? I think you would have a better answer to this.
-
When do you predict that Estonia will have 1gbps/1gbps ? How often do you look at people browsing history ? Is it legal ?
-
1Gbps DL/UL for customer use probably in ~1-2 years. Another department fiddles with packet sniffing (it's called "abuse" team) and it's illegal if there is no legal base.
-
1Gbps DL/UL for customer use probably in ~1-2 years.
Aaaaaand I'm moving to Estonia.

Routing in the transmission.
Let's say the destination server is located in Austria. Now it starts taking the route to that that server's router via different backbones and service routers scattered at different geographical locations. It depends who is your ISP and who are it's partners.
(http://i.imgur.com/Po4YEia.png)
For me the connection starts from noe-bb1 (noe backbone1 - which is located at where I work actually). The signal transmits over to some gateway (whoever amsix2.routers.ovh.net is) and from there to Frankfurt's service routers. Total ping equals how long it takes to get to that destination via different SR's and BB's. If you have a different ISP then also the route may differ (hence ISP's partners).
The word "Web" originates from all this, since it's all like... well... a spider web!
If one of the backbone links falls down, it's not going be all over and you won't be able to connect to the server. Which it means is - it will try looking for another route, which might be a bit longer and therefore you will also be getting a higher ping.
-
Why are you obsessed with Dragon Dildos?
That's what I want you to think
-
I'm sorry for being dumb and all, but can I make "Internet myself". So I would unsubscribe from my current internet provider and make internet service. If so, how would it cost?
-
Yeah, it's possible. That's what they did in North Korea (local "internet").
But good luck with signing all the contracts with other ISP's around the world to make it happen.
It would cost endless amounts of money.
-
Tell me why I'm lagging so much.
-
Lag as in?
-
do you play an instrument?
-
No, I don't... wish I did though!
I did play a saxophone back when I was like 10. The gayest of instrument of ALL!

Whenever I play csgo I usally get like 500 ping.....

I don't know, man... there might be many reasons. Check the reply I gave to Dragzorath.

How does one get a GF?
-
You walk up to your "target" and utter the phrase: Hi, your shoelace is untied.
And then apply "KNEE TO THE FACE!"
That is how you pick up a girl, works every time.
-
No. You have to ask the girl for her IP first!
-
How does one get a GF?
1. You go to work
2. Earn tons of cash
3. Make sure girls notice that
4. Bam! You're a -gender magnet
-
That's specifically for hookers doe.
What about "normal" girls/women?
-
I don't know. I guess you will have to be father material.
Again, you will have to show that you're willing to spend cash...
-
How can an area get "network noise" all of a sudden? Why does it affect the net?
-
Why can't I access my router at seemingly random periods, mostly in mornings (1000-1200) and evenings (1600-1800, 2200-2400), with the following error (http://pastebin.com/JS1QDhyX)?
