Bandwidth Testing part 2

Continued on with my bandwidth testing, these are the results after having restarted the cable modem (which supposedly updated its firmware) as instructed by my ISP's support folks. Below are the results:



And below the results from Speedtest.net whom btw make use of the same software but a different server infrastructure I'm sure. The interesting thing is that their results are actually better than those measured solely on Telenet's network (although only marginally so).


The above results are measured on an Asus EEE PC 900 (with built-in wifi of the 802.11b/g denomination).

The results below here are measured on a Macbook running Mac OS X 10.5.6 and a built-in Airport Extreme of the 802.11n (draft) denomination...



And again using the ISP's meter:


Ok so clearly the Asus EEE PC 900's wifi is the bottleneck in these tests and the Macbook is able to use bandwidth all the way up to the ISP's limits...

I wonder if my abhorrent download results earlier were a function of limits at the server I was downloading from or if there was something else limiting going on... hard to troubleshoot these transient type issues.

Anyhow, back to report these results to the support folks @ my ISP....

To be continued....
