Slow Speed Faults: Difference between revisions

 
(29 intermediate revisions by 2 users not shown)
(Still Under Construction)
 
This page is to help customers diagnose a slow speed problem on their line.
 
Please see our [http://aa.net.uk/broadband-speed.html broadband speed code of practice]
 
 
=Tests to run=
 
==Look at the CQM Graphs==
The [[CQM Graphs]] can show visually the quality of your line and can help diagnose problems. the [[CQM Graphs]] page on the wiki has examples and help.
 
==Ping==
Run some pings to our PPP endpoint - 81.187.81.187, run at least 100, and either look for loss in the final statistics, e.g.:
ping -c 100 81.187.81.187
PING81.187.81.187 (81.187.81.187) 56(84) bytes of data.
64 bytes from 81.187.81.187: icmp_seq=1 ttl=49 time=11.0 ms
...
64 bytes from 81.187.81.187: icmp_seq=100 ttl=49 time=11.6 ms
--- 81.187.81.187 ping statistics ---
100 packets transmitted, 100 received, 0% packet loss, time 99160ms
rtt min/avg/max/mdev = 10.433/10.951/14.150/0.411 ms
 
This shows 100 pings sent with no loss, and an average time of 10.951 milliseconds - this is a good line.
 
==Speed Testers==
*'''TalkTalk Wholesale:-''' For TalkTalk Wholesale Customers, please run the speed tester at [http://internet-speedtest.net/ internet-speedtest.net] (and submit your line number once complete). Please run this test at least 3 times, and preferably during various times of the day/evening Please enter your line number without any spaces! These results will then be available to AAISP staff as well as TalkTalk Wholesale staff.
 
*'''BT Wholesale:-''' please run the speed tester at [https://speedtest.btwholesale.com speedtest.btwholesale.com]
 
Please also use our speedtester [https://speedtest.aa.net.uk speedtest.aa.net.uk] and let us know the results.
 
Please do run the various speed testers at different times of day, as this can help determine if there is congestion at peak times.
 
-Bear in mind that online speed testers are not always 100% accurate, and should be used with a bit of caution. Also, run the speed tested on a wired connection rather than wifi, and without any other traffic happening on the line.
 
==Traffic Capture==
If your service is slow due to huge amounts of other traffic then do a Traffic Dump from the control pages to see what the traffic is.
