Maybe. Downloading your raw test files from;

http://www.thinkbroadband.com/download/

The 500Mb file downloaded in 26s

The 1Gb file in 43s

Both would suggest a connection in excess of 75Mbps by a fare margin. I guess I just need to enjoy the connection and not worry about it. smile

Six threaded test on a 260 Mbps connection DOES NOT REQUIRE the server to have 1.5 Gbps of bandwidth available
How much bandwidth does it require?

Is it possible that KC see the six threads being downloaded and decide that they are trying to circumvent a restriction (of some sort) or think they are being used for P2P apps (maybe) and decides that the KC network will throttle back to the equivalent of just one ?

No, just once. A 6 thread download on a 260Mbps connection will be 6 x 43.33 Mbps.

1. User has indicated they are on a. 75Mbps package
2. It is Fttp
3. Suggests burst rate limiting system may be issue with KC

Would need to spend a day or two in Hull to work on it. Ie take known well performing device to them

Not quite:

In reply to a post by Stormy:
The package is supposed to be "guaranteed at least 75Mbps".



KCs Lightstream is a 50/5, 75/5 or 100/10 package so with 9.x uploads the OP should be on the 100/10 and doe that have a Min 75 guarantee?
