I think the big guys do that Too.  I remember getting a 100mb Comcast coax line, and it testing at 110mb,so the tech could point at his laptop and say O look! I set the queue about 1-2mb higher than the plan rate. On 9/29/2020 9:48 AM, Darin Steffl wrote: Here are a couple screenshots show

TCP/IP overhead is 7% so we just add 10%. 10Mbps would be 11Mbps. On Tue, Sep 29, 2020 at 10:41 AM Darin Steffl wrote: > On a 25 Mbps plan for example, we provision the speed bucket to 28 Mbps > flat. We use Preseem for the rate limiting. Generally on a speedtest, we > see 26-27 Mbps on tests wh

Overhead depends on packet size and who's exactly measuring at what at what layer, but probably about 5-10%.  I bump customers up 10% so on a 10meg they'll see something like 10.1 or 10.2.  I know Verizon FiOS does this too.  I figure if it saves even a handful of phone calls per year then it w

On a 25 Mbps plan for example, we provision the speed bucket to 28 Mbps flat. We use Preseem for the rate limiting. Generally on a speedtest, we see 26-27 Mbps on tests when provisioned for 28 Mbps on a 25 Mbps plan. If you provisioned to 26 Mbps, you would probably see exactly 25 Mbps. I think it

Two part question: 1) If you set a speed limit, like 10 Mbps, using Preseem or Mikrotik queue or something similar, what do you expect to see at a speedtest site like speedtest.net? I'm thinking something like 9.5 Mbps. I'm assuming the bandwidth manager is looking at line rate but the speed
