Youtube has servers all over world. I think Singapore or Hong Kong is the closest to here.lurcio wrote:All very impressive but shouldn't you be asking them to test the speed between themselves and a server in the US of A?
I use a $10/month Opennet connection and get 6 down and 1 up to PP but only 1.5 down and 0.5 up to USA
Speed Test Favor

I don't get this, my test earlier was at work and was a decent result. However I can't stream videos in work, I have to save them - but I can at home where I just got this shoddy result:
Opennet DSL.
Romantic Cambodia is dead and gone. It's with McKinley in the grave.
0.39 Mbps download
0.11 Mbps upload
Glad I'm going home soon, this mobile shite sucks.

you also should ask how reliable the services are. Multiple friends of mine who use Digi have no internet or very low speeds for weeks now. Never had any real downtime with Ezecom. The latter is freakishly expensive though.

Any speed test to a Cambodian or Vietnam server is almost meaningless.
The Internet isn't hosted in PP or Hanoi. You have to change the server you are testing the connection to to a server in the USA where the vast amount of the 'internet' is hosted.
It is basically like having a motorway from your front door to the nearest town and them saying 'look you can drive your car at 200km/hr' but from your local town to the next city it is a single lane highway with huge tailbacks and you struggle to travel 10km in an hour. Great if you want to go to the local butchers in town but when you want to go to the supermarket in the city you are fucked.
If you are using Opennet and see 'FPT Telcom' in Vietnam as your local host then my feeling (from experience) is that Opennet have sold your connection on for a dollar or so a month and are pocketing the extra money. Ring up the help line and complain, they all know that they are cheating customers and if they won't offer you a proper connection as per your contract (specify download speed to the USA) change to a company that doesn't cheat you.
[edit] I just googled FTP and it seems they are the parent company for Opennet but whenever FTP shows up as my ISP (as opposed to Opennet) the service is shite.
When my contract runs out I am going to dig out my old 3G dongle and give it another go as back in 2010 it gave much better performance than I am getting now and I don't remember having to wait 20 seconds to load a simple web page.[/edit]
Digi home fibre. $16/m
Smart 4G. Tould Sleng area. 2 bars reception.
Smart getting progressively worse for me. Was consistently above 15mbps late last year.

I just noticed your reply. The point I was trying to make is that my home connection works fine, and I often find it better than the connection at work which gave far better results on this test. Maybe it's just the way the network is set up in work, I don't really know.lurcio wrote: If you are using Opennet and see 'FPT Telcom' in Vietnam as your local host then my feeling (from experience) is that Opennet have sold your connection on for a dollar or so a month and are pocketing the extra money.

Averaging different times of day could help give a better picture, repeating over different days would give an ever fuller picture, and so on if you wanted seasonal trends.
Promotions etc. can screw things though.
