How to test the speed of the server

Re: How to test the speed of the server

You can also cmd in start menu in windows and then ping and server host

cmd and ping is the best option, but not good insuchas satlover

Re: How to test the speed of the server

Thats most of the problem though, "Number of hops, physical distance, quality of peers internet links, network load" it is these factors that cause problems, because most peoples ping, upload and download speeds are fine and sometimes we think its faults on our end. Its usually as simple as the better the server, the better quality. However, the servers here are easily the best free servers available on the internet.

I agree that the free servers here are the best on the internet, certainly that I found on my travels!

Re: How to test the speed of the server

...The network transmission time depends on many factors: Number of hops, physical distance, quality of peers internet links, network load.

Most of these are revealed by a simple ping which gives you the current return time from a request of your computer to a remote server.

What ping does not reveal is how fast the application on the remote server will respond. So in theory, supposing the average ping of your server of interrest takes 100mSec, you could get 10 'answers per second' from this server. In reality, however, you will not even get near to that many answers because the applications you are communicating with also take up time, and mostly significantly more than the ping.

because most peoples ping, upload and download speeds are fine and sometimes we think its faults on our end. Its usually as simple as the better the server, the better quality.

Yep. Again: ping is only half of the answer. But you must ping the server you are interested in, not some 'reference' server elsewhere. So I really do not know why easydigital thought it necessary to reply with this link to pingtest (which is just a small part of speedtest, btw) because this number has very little significance when communicating with a server outside their small set of reference machines. The proof of the pudding is in the eating, and a ping to some reference machine somewhere may say something about your internet connection (and theirs) but has only limited value with regards to the 'pudding' of the cccam server you are connection to.
And then again, that server may be top notch with loads of capacity to spare, and their broadband connection may be great, yet you still can't get an answer in time because of some congestion halfway beyond your or their control.

Let's face it: the internet sucks. Try live with it.

Re: How to test the speed of the server

That is correct redhezuk

Ok maybe we are talking about different things....I've done a little bit of research on ecm time and locally its the time it takes for card to respond to a request. Remotely, its the request time over net + card response time (so presumably the ping will get you part of the answer in terms of the request time over the net). The network transmission time depends on many factors: Number of hops, physical distance, quality of peers internet links, network load.

What is Pingtest.net?
Use Pingtest.net to determine the quality of your broadband Internet connection. Streaming media, voice, video communications, and online gaming require more than just raw speed. Test your connection now to get your Pingtest.net rating and share the result with others!

Either way, ping is only half of the answer. The ping is the time the server responds, but not the time an application responds. If an application on that server is overloaded, the ping could still be reasonably OK, yet you would wait seconds to get a reply from the application itself!

Can someone tell me how to test the speed to the servers that are in the cline ?

In windows cmd, something like that ex. : ping cccam2.satlover.com
or something else.

Thank's for any answer.

its not in your receiver but in windows

Re: How to test the speed of the server

Powerman - Where is the CMD on a TM5402HD?

[redhezuk]

Re: How to test the speed of the server

So presumably we are talking about the same thing then, and less than 500 is good and less than 200 is very good?

[powerman]

Re: How to test the speed of the server

you just type ping IP -t in CMD
if its lower than 200 you have not problem for server

Re: How to test the speed of the server

i dont know technomate or spiderbox
but when i press ok on my dreambox
i see which server i am connected to in that line u also see which hop the channel are on right now and after that u see the ecm time
