It's pretty amazing that computers work at all. The notion that we've created these incredibly reliable inter-connected web of low-cost machines is beyond what science fiction could have even imagined just 30 years ago. Many are considering upgrading to fiber internet-with 1Gbps speeds in both directions-however we've upgraded to 10 Gigabit internet which is some of the fastest small-business/residential internet speeds in the United States. The problem is that even with the wold's fastest internet, there are still frequently slowdowns dependent on the task. That's because total bandwidth is just one small piece of the pie. Throughput is determined by lots of factors like latency, routers and switching, infrastructure cabling, caching, and more. Let's talk about them all today. - Věda a technologie

**Puts hands to ear**
What?
But how did you whatch this with kilobit speed
@@zaineoakley5555 I downloaded it. Lol
_(Just kidding I have fairly fast cable, but if I did still have dial-up, downloading this video would take around an hour, best case scenario.)_
As a core Network Engineer at an ISP I have to say out of the dozens of tech CZcamsrs I watch, I have to hand it out to you for putting effort into your network videos. Sure some points/info are off, but still contain a lot of good information for non-networking viewers. If you continue these I'd be glad to offer some perspective.
Some things to add:
1. In your list of equipment you forgot the most important, a router able to handle 10gig. Switching ASICs have been able to handle 10gig for some time but many routers (non-enterprise) still route in CPU instead of the ASIC. This makes routing and also firewalling very expensive at 10gig and above.
2. Latency through a medium, copper is actually lower latency theoretically, but there is an interference mechanism that purposely introduces latency to prioritize a stable connect vs a low latency connect that might suffer loss.
3. The actual nodes introduce ns of latency enough to the point where the number of nodes is ignored vs the path taken.
4. Traceroute off a customer connection in not the end all be all result. MPLS is the primary transport within ISP domains. You will not get replies from hops that are traversing MPLS nodes. This can mean a user is seeing 5 hops but in reality it can be 5-10 more hops than displayed. This can skew the perceived results.
5. Latency is TCPs Achilles heal. Due to ACKs and windowing is what determines the throughput you will get. The more latency, means the longer the sender has to wait before sending the next window. If you ran a 10gig test with UDP you would see closer to expected results at expense of possible loss.
I try my best when I put these videos together but it's so hard to cover all the bases without getting so "gotcha" and what not. That said, I appreciate the friendly praise and excellent list of additions/corrections! Cheers.
4. i don't have familiarity with other ISPs, but i don't know if MPLS is really all that ubiquitous for every single inter-AS traffic. AFAIK it's reserved mostly to specialized services like point-to-point (or point-to-multipoint and multipoint-to-multipoint) links. also, you do see all the hops in MPLS, you just don't know where the failure is in case there is one since the packet goes all the way to the end (the popping of the label) before being able to come back (and latency for every hop will be the same as the last one, assuming it's not dropped). in fact, this is one of the reasons it's avoided unless really needed, as it makes troubleshooting that much more annoying. what you might be referencing regarding hiding th hops are MPLS-based VPN tunnels, which as any other tunnel do in fact hide the underlying network hop layer, but like i said, these are mostly used for PtP services, such as clients that want to hire a VPLS link between multiple sites.
@Snazzy Labs Completely understandable. My comment came off as one of those “well actually Snazzy” but was unintended to as theres always those comments lol. Networking, software, hardware and devices in general are all very deep topics and CZcamsrs such as yourself and LTT cover such a wide range of tech that its impossible to know the ins and out of all of it. That is where my praise came from that you put time to research and reach out to your ISP in previous videos to get a decent understanding. It brings me joy when channels take the time like that and deserve praise, especially with a two man band and top notch quality.

@@laurinneff4304 Wrong. Heavily modded minecraft servers can take an average of 3Mbit/s at only 4 active players, bursting up to 40Mbit/s at certain locations/loading chunks. Vanilla servers takes about less. 4 Mbit/s for about 8 active players. Bursting up to 30Mbit/s on heavy loads. Having servers with lots of concurrent players present bandwidth problems. Loading chunks fast enough can result into an internet DDoS if your port speed is that low.

133 ms around the earth would be for speed of light in a vacuum. Speed of light in glass fibre is 2/3 the speed
Fiber is hollow, the light is bouncing off the sides of the glass inside the fiber, not travelling through the glass at all. So it's traveling through air.
@@jordanwhitecar1982 wat? you need to get a refund on your education.
optical fibre relies on total internal reflection in the "glass" fibre due to the different refractive index.
And it's bouncing on the edges due to total internal reflection which adds to the distance.

To be precise:
Svalbard is not only home to 3000 people, but also to the world seed vault, where samples of nearly every fruit, vegetable, etc are stored, to keep humanity able to grow food in case of a Desaster. So this small Island is ptettty important to be connected
Why is it important to be connected? For security purposes generally you want to be disconnected.
@@kaldo_kaldo you need some Form of working Connection, to get informations to and from the Island
Do you know you can change the speedtest settings to just display MB/s instead of Mbit/s? That way you don’t have to do the conversion
............of course I knew that-i am not an amateur........
You can also change the scale. It is ridiculous when youtube videos of 5G mmwave gigabit have a scale that max's at 100 Mbit/s.
But Mbit/s is better to flex on others
@@snazzy /winkwink
I usually mentally divide a megabit/second speed by ten to allow for packet overhead (headers, checksums etc) to give me a more realistic megabyte/second rate.
Also, telecomms is weird, sometimes the speed is not mibibytes/second as in 1024 x 1024, but it can be 1000x1024 or 1000x1000 depending on the underlying clocks driving the actual signalling on the line.

Really a great video. Keep posting more. Can't wait for your next video on your new home network setup. Congrats by the way!
13:39 Can I make a suggestion? It's not always better to change DNS servers, you should benchmark them to get a baseline. You can use tools like namebench or GRCs DNS Benchmark to do exactly that :D
You also have to consider the fact that DNS is very important for CDN delivery and load balancing/geolocation, if the DNS servers you are using don't support ECS you might get contents from the "wrong" (far away/more congested/not customized by your ISP) location
This video demonstrates how important it's a good ISP. these days. Good interconnections with cloud providers and CDNs, great transit providers to the broader internet, and, most importantly, upgrading the core and the edge networks in order to sell faster speeds are, together, a key factor for selling very high speeds. It's quite easy to provide one gig, two gigs, or even more with the access gear we have today. XGS-PON is coming, and "10 gig" is the next big step. But, in practice, it's not 10 gigs if you can't use 20% of your bandwidth to download a game from Steam of from Xbox servers, nether can you retrieve a file from Google Drive at anything near the speeds you pay for. Of course, it's not all about the ISP, because the global internet operators need to work on this together on this issue. It's definitively possible and, frankly, quite easy. The challenge is, of course, money. And we are not good to go thought this by selling crazy-fast speeds for everyone. Fine, most people don't care about it. Paying $70 for 1-Gig and only receiving 200-Meg most of the time is miles better than paying $70 for a line capped at 200-Meg. However, if we want to take full advantage of theses speeds and not just experiencing a small improvement over slower ones, choosing a good ISP, with a fast backbone, vast interconnections running on fast interfaces (10G for less relevant traffic and 100G for relevant peers), and other points I sad is very necessary. Anyway, loved your video. The only CZcamsr I saw talking about the challenges of today's "ultra-fast" broadband.

Great video, Quinn! I love how you have an obsession to get the most out of everything! Like a Mac computers, audio, internet...
If you would like to see full details of a webpage load. Open up the developer tools / console of your web browser and navigate to the "Network" section. Load a web page and view the resulting waterfall chart. It will give you a detailed breakdown of the time it takes for establishing the initial connection, DNS lookup, SSL handshakes, content download etc etc. Will also tell you which items were found in your browsers cache (local cache) or downloaded from a CDN service (remote cache).
TCP overhead takes away from your overall upload speed. In addition providers along the path can rate-limit youtube very easily and CZcams rate limits uploads as well. Also, "pathping" is a better tester built into Windows.

Great video guys! Lots of good info and suggestions for improving a sluggish home or office network. Just a suggestion for testing 10Gb performance, you can pick up something like a Viavi T-BERD 6000/8000 these days for just a couple of thousand or so on eBay, and SFP's are getting ridiculously cheap. Just need to make sure it is optioned out for the services you need (most are). Then you can do all sorts of testing and get consistent results. Its great for finding crappy switches and Ethernet cables, and other bottle necks. I've had some compatibility issues with the 10 Gb copper Ethernet SFP's (the Viavi thinks they are optical devices) and I haven't really dug down to see what works best since most of the stuff I deal with is optical so you will have to do a little experimenting to find a good 10Gb SFP that will work since I have no idea.
By the way, higher data rate communications typically will result in slightly lower latency than existing networks since the higher speed packets take less time to get decoded/processed so they can be acknowledged/replied to faster, but as you suggested, they don't travel any faster through the medium (fiber/copper) so the improvement is only marginal.
That's the first video I see of yours and you impressed me. Great job!
Might be a good idea to disable the remote config UI on your edgerouter if you're not going to blur more than that. :)

I live in South OKC, and according to Ookla, the nearest SpeedTest server is in Richardson, TX, hosted by AT&T. However, there are several SpeedTest servers in OKC, hosted by OneNet, Dobson Technologies, and Cox Communications. Also, we have AT&T U-verse V-DSL, which would probably explain why the AT&T Richardson server is pinning as being closer than any of the ones in OKC served by their competitors. We've had the same ISP since early 2003, starting with SBC Yahoo! Dial, then upgrading to SBC Yahoo! A-DSL in late 2003 (which would become AT&T Yahoo! A-DSL after SBC Communications, Inc. acquired AT&T Corp. in 2004 to become AT&T, Inc.), followed by an upgrade to AT&T U-verse V-DSL in 2013.
Also, Alphabet, Inc. has a Google data center in Mayes County, OK right near the northeast corner of the state.

Set your dns to googles dns server. It will direct your upload to a local server instead of the standard upload distribution server. Make sure to flush dns cache and local cookies before testing the upload.
I have Google Fiber and I've begun to notice what servers are slower than others- I don't even know if I'd move to the 2Gbps service when it comes out.
I've installed quite a few circuits for businesses and it's only the IT guys who complain and want faster speeds. I've found with a burstable 100 megabit/sec circuit the servers you connect to often rate-limit you down anyway.

Alternative title: How to flex on people.
A lot has to do with internet routing. I do not live in a major metropolitan area and the nearest one is 300 miles away. I manage IT at my company and both offices have Fiber Internet and are only 70 miles apart. However, due to being two different ISP's and this not being a major metropolitan area, the data has to travel 1000+ miles round trip, putting the ping times for our site to site VPN at around 60ms. My house that is 7 miles from the main office has around a 40ms ping time due to a 600+ mile round trip. The "city" is a beach community and only has two data routes (regardless of ISP) and that is either east or west as there is nothing to our north. When Hurricane Michael took out Panama City Beach, it also took our all fiber optic lines to our east, leaving only the ones to our west. During the repairs, there were a couple fiber cuts to our west, cutting off our "city" entirely. AT&T had a fiber cut which took down all the cell phone towers in the city... all AT&T phones simply said "No Service" for 3-5 hours, same happened with AT&T U-Verse as well. The same thing happened with Mediacom... took out Cable Internet, VoIP, and Cable TV for nearly a week due to how severe the cut was. 100 Mbps Fiber for our primary office, located in the middle of downtown, is $450 a month on a 5 year contract. 100 Mbps Fiber for our remote office is $550 a month. The fastest internet AT&T offers at my house is 50 Mbps for $50 a month on a 2 year contract, but thankfully Cox offers Gigablast which is 940 Mbps down and 35 Mbps up for $69 a month with a 1 TB limit and $50 extra for unlimited data which is what I have. Thankfully I am able to get these speeds and since Steam has servers in Atlanta, where my ping time is around 25ms or so, I can nearly max out my connection downloading games from Steam. Needless to say, there is no data centers anywhere near us due to this being a small beach community and in the middle of Hurricane Alley.

I have fiber to the home gig up/down in Phoenix with Century Link. Full Unifi setup and running Edge Router 4, fiber runs to the SFP port on the router from the curb... It is awesome... latency is stupid low....
"This is what most non-fiber homes have"
Copper and that 40ms of lag!11!!
my old dsl connection:150ms to 500ms
your internet:5ms
Me:If the ISPs actually did something with that money related to fiber.
I pay for gigabit down / 35mbps upload... I am consistently bottlenecked at 5mbps upload. No idea why :(
I have FIOS gigabit, and what I found to be the biggest issue is just latency. DNS is one place, the second and perhaps more important is just having the right router that shapes traffic well. Gigabit can feel like 50 Mbps if you have buffer bloat. Why, well that DNS request and other requests get held up in a buffer causing pages and actions to appear to be delayed, well and they are. Fix the bloat and it's amazing how fast even a slower connection can feel. Knowing this is one thing, making sure you ensure each setup is working as good as it can be is another. 10Gb, well shouldn't have any buffer issues.
Throughput and bandwdith also rings true for your broadband speed and what rate your router can up/download. Just because your router has gigabit ports does not mean it can upload or download at gigabit speeds. I remember some time ago I had to choose carefully my router as most would have a lower actual throughput than the actual broadband speed.
It's a good day when we can get 25Mbps down and 10Mbps up. :-(

@1:24 - Windows tip: if you click the menu lines in the top left of the built-in calculator you can do pretty much any conversion you want right in the app, including data conversions; it even supports date calculation of either difference between dates or figuring out dates in the future/past by adding/subtracting days, weeks, or months.
I know it's hard to imagine Windows having good built in features, but hey, stranger things have happened outside of Mac land ;)
Just an FYI, and Not meant as a Gotcha. Something important about how fast you can upload to a place like Google Drive, CZcams, or anywhere else also depends on the Download speeds available of the servers hosting the service you are trying to access, and their upload speed when you are downloading something. The server could have a 10Gb connection to it as well, but limits are put in place per session so one user is not allowed to "Hog" the bandwidth. This is for security and user experience It prevents against simple attacks from hackers that may take place, and allows for more people to be able to access the features they want on the site as well.
This was a great explanation that is easy to understand.

The biggest thing you misunderstood is that those "traceroutes" aka. hops are not necessarily real in today's world. When you see 10 hops, their could be a dozen more behind the scenes due to technologies like PPPoE, MPLS, etc that can make those hops invisible.

Here in Jersey channel island, the telecoms company finished their rollout of fibre (ftth) to all 100k+ residents. During the pandemic they have given every single household 1Gbps symmetrical connection for free, as long as they are already paying for a standard service.
A few points. I have only once come across a 10 Gb connection. It was for a major bank's data centre. Canadian banks tend to be much larger than American banks. By comparison, back in the early 90s, I was working on a job for another major bank. They had one data centre in Toronto and another in a different city. This project was to provide 4 DS3 (45 Mb each) connections between the two sites, with two coming from my company and two from the phone company. That was a blazing 180 Mb/s between two bank data centres! On the other hand, when I first started working in telecom, some of the equipment I worked on ran at all of 45.4 bit/sec!
Also, with my ISP, I'm paying for 500/20 Mb. However, according to speedtest I get around 940/31! So, no complaints there. And just this morning, I decided to check a 5G C band (3.5 GHz) cell connection and was getting around 436/78 with my Pixel 6 phone.
Forgot to mention, my ISP currently offers 2.5 Gb over fibre and plans to offer 8 Gb soon.
At home I switch from Comcast 200Mb to 1Gb plan and saved money. Basically over the years my Comcast service had switch to more expensive a la cart pricing. All basically switch back to a plan and dropped some premium cable channels I rarely watched. I now get 1.4 Gb download.
All consumer firewalls top out at 1Gb, so you will only see 950 Mb speedtests. I had to install a pfsense firewall with dual 10 Gb NICS. The cable modem is attached to the WAN port at 2.5Gb. The LAN port is attached at 10Gb. The best I have seen in consumer is 2.5Gb WAN and 1GB LAN.
The NICS are actually what they call Multi-Gigabit NICS, they operrate at 10Gb, 5Gb, 2.5Gb, and 1Gb. The old 10 Gb NICS only operated at 10Gb and 1Gb. 10Gb NICS are expensive, so a lot of equipment is opting for cheaper 2.5Gb NICS. The secret wording is Multi-Gigabit. It took me awhile before I realized that.
I had to try it out with the Tracert command. Nice video!
15:08 That looks a lot like my CZcams Home screen! You have good taste in CZcams videos my friend!
A Ookla Speedtest server is not only selected by physical location. The Ookla system determines the best server by using a geo-IP system to find the physically closest servers, then your client pings those servers and uses the one with the lowest latency, making the selected server the closest server from a network perspective. So not necessarily the physically closest, but the quickest to respond.
PIA is awesome! I've had them for 3 years now! Plus I feel ya on upload/download/throughput speeds
From Hawaii, I like to speed test to San Francisco to test my connection through the cables. I typically lose about 30-40 percent of my download speed when doing that.
You being a CZcamsr and recommending ad blockers for faster Internet says a lot about how much you care for your audience and the right info!
10 Gbe has been affordable for a person at home for the last 5+ years. That is if you are willing to buy used enterprise hardware. About 8-9 years ago I bought 8 X 10 Gbe SFP+ single port cards and 5 X 10Gbe Dual Port SFP+ cards and ran fiber or copper SFP+ cables through my house. I used my HP server running ESXi as the switch to connect traffic to a computer running clear OS as a dedicated web appliance. I think all together I paid in the neighborhood of $500 for the cables and the cards not counting the server that I already had. That to me doesn't seem all that bad considering that some people spend $200+ on crap consumer wifi routers for their house that doesn't hold a candle to 4yo enterprise and even used DIY solutions.
Great video! Heads up: @9:06 you might want to blur the dns name too..
As someone who does networking for a living, I get this complaint about network speed all the time. Most websites don't have more than a gigabit connection ( and they're not just sending data to you, so that has to be split between everyone accessing their site ), some only have 100 megabit ( still more common than one would think in this day and age ). Not to mention every stop along the way from your computer to their server. You may get routed over a slow pipe which probably won't effect your bandwidth much since even a slow pipe is still probably faster than your home connection, but depending on how congested it is, it may seriously effect your latency. The server may be in a remote place, or in a place where natural disasters ( such as hurricanes, or massive fires ) are effecting the ability of the local networking infrastructure to provide as much throughput as might be normally available if large portions of their network weren't down as a result. And that still doesn't take into account how much of your traffic is going over high speed low latency fiber, and how much is going over more traditional copper. Not to mention latency introduced when switching between the two mediums in addition to the normal latency from each additional hop. It gets really crazy, and it's really a miracle that the internet even works at all at times.
high quality content! thank you very much!
Other items people should know: Most modern routers support QoS (Quality of Service) and this can make a big difference to the perceived speed of your internet connection. Also, using a program such as DNS Benchmark by Steve Gibson will show you the fastest DNS servers available to you. Having a good quality router will make a difference especially if you separate your router from your wireless access point(s). There's a host of other things to look for too but that's a couple I've found important.
It also looks like you are using the Speedtest app and using a browser to run the transfer (naturally). Try running your speedtest from the browser and see what slowdowns it introduces.
Don't forget that the application server at the other end must have the resources available to handle your 10 Gbps of throughput. Very few are provisioned that way, because it is extremely costly at scale and unnecessary for most application requirements.
Svalbard is not only home to 3000 people, it also houses the Arctic Web Archive, the offline backup of the internet. A fast connection seems like a great investment.
Question. That was the cost to also deploy, drench, vessels, and workers? For that cable connecting that island? Or just the manufacturing
Ha, I'm with Hyperoptic here in UK and Ive just had 1Gbps fibre fitted.. It's great kinda but like you state, there are serious limits on downloading which the company doesn't go into all that much..(wonder why) now your video has explained it all to me.. I know better from now on! oh as for my router, it is so basic and I believe this cheap ZTE shouldn't really be used..
I have a Gb fibre connection down and 500Mbps up here in New Zealand and live well out of any city in a small town! New Zealand ISPs sell up to 4Gb connections up / down.
13:16 Correct me if I'm wrong, but I think I remember hearing somewhere that piracy is only illegal if you are publishing the content, like if you are uploading a movie online for a free download, but if you are just downloading that movie, you will be fine.
Can't wait for that video about the rewiring your house to get better internet 😂
That lathe and plaster is going to be fun.
Here in Egypt the internet is so expensive and they give a tiny amount of data cap, even after getting ftth in some places(not all of course) the fastest you can get is 200 mb/s but with 1024gb cap and the upload is not even close to half that for almost 70$.If you look it up in Egypt it's a monopoly.
I don't think caps will disappear from Egypt anytime soon.
How many bigmacs for that kind of bandwidth?
Thanks for this educational video!
good info, i recommend testing dnsbenchmark myself.
This video is very interesting, it explains very used buzzwords in a simple way and shows real life examples to further make comprehension easier. And now I can justfiy why fiber doesn't reduce latency to my friends :)
