What is Reddit's opinion of LibreSpeed?

From 3.5 billion Reddit comments

Run a speed test.

The game's servers might have just been running slowly when you were downloading it.

It seems odd that you'd just have an issue with games downloads, and not other types of internet content.

As far as I know, iperf is the standard way - we in telco use that daily (except for when we use specialized devices) and how we determine the performance of whatever we need to test (most often a router, wireless link or a leased circuit).

For a more real use-like testing, I installed https://librespeed.org/ on one of my computers and use that - but that is only informational, if it measures a lot less than iperf, it is usually something in configuration of the network device that is being tested.

sind auch bekannt, aber bei belwue hatte ich zumindest über wget das Gefühl, nicht priorisiert zu sein.

Torrents von Linux Isos als Speedtest, da würde niemand das Volumen hochschrauben.

Yea, that's a bad idea.

"regular" linux distros would have speedtest-cli available via their normal/trusted packages, no need to mess with that and it's just a single command: speedtest-cli

But I'd recommend Librespeed. Everything you can think it's available:

• the server if you want to run it (even for yourself in the local net it can be interesting
  
• can be run in the browser against public servers https://librespeed.org/
  
• android app
  
• command line
  

Of course everything free, open source and no ads.

Are those 110 Mbps what you should have according to your provider or something you actually measured? Test your internet speed on sites such as https://librespeed.org or https://fast.com. What are your results?

Does the problem occur on different browsers and different devices?

What browsers did you test?

Is only the loading of pages so slow or are downloads in the browser as well?

What do speed test sites like https://librespeed.org return? Download speed and ping are particularly interesting.

Do some sites load faster than others?

Do you have any Add-ons installed in your browsers?

Scan your PC for malware with Malwarebytes.

Fast.com is only used to see if your ISP throttles Netflix, if you want to do a speedtest, use this: https://librespeed.org/[Fast.com](https://Fast.com)

PS : Speedtest.net is prioritized by ISP so it going to get higher than actual results

When its about internet, germany is sooo majorly fucked in the coming years. Still having mainly copper and telekom not changing that in the slightest.
They spent multiple millions to figure out how to send 250k through a copper wire. Which will be basically considered slow in a few years.

This is my internet speed with advertised 50k throughput. https://librespeed.org/results/?id=0vk46z9
Not even half...

Note: basically all internet infrastructure in germany is owned by the telekom so it does not really matter what provider you have. Its just trash everywhere.

I could go on a huge rant about how fucked up the whole digitalization thing is in germany. And I am pretty sure that 90% of my other fellow germans share my opinion on that ^^.

There is a big difference between how 'good' your connection to a speedtest server is compared to the game server. Librespeed at approximate location tends to be more realistic for me.

Also latency and jitter are very important for gaming. You don't need bandwidth for gaming, you need stability and good routing.

Also you can check ping to any server using windows command line.

First of all, it depends if you are using the 2.4GHz or 5GHz wireless band on your devices.

Secondly, it depends whether you are very close to the router or far away.

Tipically, with a 5GHz wireless band, while being very close to the router, depending on your device's network card antenna, should be very fast (of course I can't say the specific Mbps as I don't have Gigabit ethernet). Other users have pointed out that it can reach up to 450Mbps with current technology.

Perhaps try using https://librespeed.org instead of speedtest.[org/com/whatever], as ISPs can make it look like you have a faster connection than you really do.

You need to take account for other devices connected to your network.

Also you could change DNS servers: instead of using Google's 8.8.8.8 and 8.4.4.8, you can use Cloudflare's DNS: 1.1.1.1 and 1.0.0.1 (cloudflare's dns is the fastest in the world).

In conclusion, use Ethernet when possible if you want less latency and more speed.

Looks like the US servers suck. I'm getting 20Mb/s to the Las Vegas server from here in Colorado, but I get 300+ to Sweden, oddly enough (also from a symmetric gig ftth): https://librespeed.org/results/?id=16g4uol
