![]() Today, people all around the globe have access to it, and they consider it as one of the most critical needs of their life, right after food and water. Different categories of networks like public, private, government, health, businesses, and academic networks are connected on a single platform.Īt its origin, the internet was used for multi-programming and multi-tasking purposes by the United States Department of Defense only. The internet is a complex international system of interconnected millions of computers interacting through electronic, wireless, or optical wired technologies.

Protocols? Layer 3, layer 2? After all, the ONT (in my case) delivers a 1Gbps session all day long. This one is more interesting because if it can be replicated it would reveal parts of AT&Ts internal working network management. I also wonder if there is a glitch in which there is a certain combination of factors which causes network speed management to misfire or uncap the restriction. In their marketing they list bragging rights as a feature of their fiber internet. That is, one sees more value in their service when they can rev the engine, so to speak. I wonder if AT&T gooses the speed tests through their network as a way to make customers happy. The speed disparity makes me wonder about a few things outside of my connection being misconfigured since it is not consistent. I get to learn new tools (for example, I had never traced the upstream network service chain for a provider outside of traceroute before. I like puzzles like this, even if I don't see a benefit from it. So far, I've not seen it outside of synthetic tests. It is not consistent in speed tests although as you see above, I can replicate it. So, not quite the same boat but by all indications I was being charged the new rate also not receive it.Īs for the 'misconfiguration' I'm not sure what it is. This initially came up because my order for 500/500 sent me a notice of active new payment cost effective the night I ordered it even though after a few days the speed was not reflected in my service delivery (nor did my account's service level indicated it). I'm I the only one that has seen this? It's almost like there is some internal setting unlocked that allows my service to reach full 1Gbps speed if the speed test comes from certain AT&T network servers. Watching my gateway, I seen incoming traffic peak at around 980Mbps. One might think this is some artifact from the Speedtest software, but it is not. It does not happen every time and I've not seen it in my last 50 tests on my PC, but my Mac has been getting 930Mbps from AT&T server. To the topic at hand, I get some weirdness when I use the Speedtest app to test my speed from AT&T servers. So, it appears they did not manual entry but one system still thinks I'm on 300Mbps (although it looks like I will be billed correctly for 500Mbps) (could not mark my account at 500Mbps.) He closed the ticket as install complete and now my account manager online shows 500Mbps internet, yet if I go to upgrade options it weirdly shows I can change to 1Gbps fiber or **500Mbps fiber**. The system changes my account to 500Mbps for delivery (either via his config or the internal tech support), but he could not push that to the front-in system. Of course, he did not have to do anything in my home because the gateway does not control the speed. AT&T had trouble pushing the config down so I could use the news speed and after 3 days sent a tech out to do the 'install'. Two days after install I upgraded online to 500Mbps because there were no issues on my network. In short, I originally ordered 300Mbps fiber because I was not sure how well my network router would take it.
