Linode hosts one to test their Tokyo location - http://speedtest.tokyo.linode.com/100MB-tokyo.bin Source - http://www.linode.com/speedtest/ On Thu, Aug 2, 2012 at 1:59 PM, Micah Anderson <micah@riseup.net> wrote:
Hi,
I'm sitting on what is advertised as a 100mbit/sec connection in Cambodia. I have been trying to verify that, because I do not believe it is valid.
I did iperf tests from a number of network locations, and at one point I did get 71mbit/sec (most of the results were around 20-25mbit/sec or less). But I dont think 30 second iperf tests are particularly revealing when the bandwith rate might change drastically over the day. I considered doing a 3 day iperf test, but somehow this seems not how the tool was designed.
Someone suggested I find test files from various Asian locations to download via wget. I found a bunch of 100mb test files for various providers in N. America and Europe on webhostingtalk, which were interesting, but I never got more than around 5mbit/sec with them.
Does anyone have any machines in Japan, S. Korea, or other asian locations with good bandwidth. where they can host a 100mbit file so I can attempt to download it to test this?
Other suggestions for reliable tests would also be welcome! Please, dont suggest some flash garbage :)
thanks! micah
