A speedtest of NBN speeds was run across a weekend, every two hours, from Friday 8.00pm to Monday 8.00am. NBN was running in Hughesdale, 3166 Victoria over Telecube HFC 50/20mbps NBN subscription. The NBN is the Australian National Broadband Network. HFC is the payTV network (a hybrid fibre-coaxial network) and is currently sold at speeds up to 100/40 mbps (download/upload). The test is run on a residential premise with a 50/20mbps subscription with Telecube. Where mbps is megabits per second, and 50/20 is 50mbps download and 20mbps upload.
Now includes updated to NBN Telecube HFC 100/40 last week. Rerun test. Friday 8.00pm to Monday 8.00am (18-20 May 2018). Using same procedure.
Speedtest is a network service to test an internet connection speed. See html5 version at http://beta.speedtest.net.
Speedtest recorded from server: 2225 Telstra Melbourne.
List of servers available by running: speedtest-cli --list
Recommend: run speedtest against a single server to remove server speed variability. See http://whrl.pl/ReX2rn for server variability impact on speedtest.
Version:
9. Add Kogan to front of dataset title
8. Adding Speedtest data for a new ISP - Kogan 100/20 plan (Oct 2021). Across a weekend and testing earlier noted speedtest servers not continuously available - hence used with nearest ping. Added Kogan Plot.
5. More data on 100/40 upgrade plan. File data200518new.csv added. New plot: Plotly:/50. New jpg. Plot200518.
4. More data from 280817 - added every 15mins. File: data280817.csv. New plot: Plotly:/48. New jpg. Plot280817.
3. Added play2.csv tidied file including parsed date/time, where DayHr = Day.Hr and DayHr2 = Day.Hr*4 *i.e. close to per cent.
2. Out.csv deletes test data.
1. Out.csv includes 12 lines of test data from Monash Uni LAN (speeds 200/100mbps). Now deleted in v2..
Recording:
- upload (mbps)
- download (mbps)
- ping (milliseconds)
and output to a csv file.
