The disk is a WD5001AALS-00L3B2 from 2009, described as SATA 3Gbps. I guess that is pretty slow. We've definitely tried some best-case situations, where no one else is running any CPU hogs. To make things more confusing, my service provider has its own speed test site, which says I downloaded this morning at 274Mbps (compared to 53Mbps at speedtest.net). Tomorrow I'll have my first Webex conference since I added the 1Gbps NIC and maxed out memory. We'll see what happens. ________________________________________ From: deloptes <delop...@gmail.com> Sent: Tuesday, May 26, 2020 1:16 PM To: debian-user@lists.debian.org Subject: Re: problem with slow network transmission Kleene, Steven (kleenesj) wrote: > What I have been trying a lot is Webex teleconferencing for my job.

Very large conferences that disallow that work fine. > We've set up test Webex conferences at home, and again sharing a webcam > kills it.

I have here 8Mbps ADSL and Webex works fine also with video
