Anybody Here Upload Large Amounts of Data (to YouTube or Otherwise)

AlienC on 31/08/2018 - 01:29

I think I already know the answer for this but am wondering if anybody can recommend best practices or best ISP for uploading large amounts of data to Youtube and other websites.

If you have any experience or know how post below.

Mainly looking for a solid speed and if you guys get any disconnects when maxing out your bandwidth upstream.

Just tried to upload to Youtube a small video right now on my 12/1 NBN FTTN internet and the download side dropped out aka my internet died so is it only upload or only download with all internet providers or is there a way to have both running at the same time.

Will be upgrading to either 50/20 or 100/40 after this Telecube fiasco.. thank god in kind of woke me up to how slow 12/1 is or was.

Any competitively priced 100/100 unlimited plans for NBN FTTN in Sydney?

    I upload a few hundred GB a month for work, 20-30GB at a time. No issues on my 500/500 connection at home.

      So does it interfere with download speeds when you max out your upload also how much is your 500/500 connection and are you in the Gong or Adelaide?

      How can you get such speeds?

        I think you have to sign up for business tier connection…

        Last time I saw an ads in my working building, like 500$ a month for such connection.

        I live in Kuala Lumpur.

        I have no issues with downloads when uploading, but when you only have 1Mbit upload that can impact your downloads.
        When you saturate the upstream, the downstream will stop working because it cant send requests for the next thing to download.

        Limit your uploads (if the program allows you to) to something like 0.7Mbit, and it will be fine.

    I upload about 4-5gb per day using rclone to B2.

    I'm in 100/40. No impact on my download speeds.

    When you congest upload you can impact download, possibly TCP syn ack issues. Best to bandwidth constrain just under the total available bandwidth. I use bandwidth control in my TPLINK Archer D7 which fixes it. Tricky to implement but once you work it out it's not too bad.

      This.

      If the router supports it, set the QoS configuration to slightly less than your sync speed so that you do not saturate the upload, which causes TCP ack to drop, which causes download to slow down.

    just curious, what does the speed numbers mean in NBN?

    • Shadowsfury on 31/08/2018 - 08:45

      (Theoretical) megabits/second

    • Godric on 31/08/2018 - 08:47

      You referring to x/x? Mbps

      • ATTS on 31/08/2018 - 13:49

        Yes

      Max download in megabits and max upload in megabits.

      Divide by 8 because 8 bits in a byte to get max megabytes per second download and upload.

      So a 100/40 plan is 100 megabits divide by 8 so 12 megabytes per second download and 40 megabits divide by 8 so 5 megabytes per second upload speeds.

      Plans are usually either 12/1 25/10 50/20 or 100/40 for most residential users.

      Businesses can get up to 1000/400 as far as I know please somebody correct me if I am wrong.

        we are having 1000/1000 installed at work in a few months. we could go higher but the cost gets prohibitive.

        • AlienC on 01/09/2018 - 03:03

          How big is the company? How many staff?

        • playswithfire on 01/09/2018 - 07:51

          @AlienC:

          Not very big - 35 staff - but as a software development company working with cloud based infrastructure, connectivity is mandatory.

        Thanks for the explanation

        • AlienC on 01/09/2018 - 03:04

          You're welcome.

  • Diji1 on 31/08/2018 - 09:27

    Limit your upload to 80% of maximum tested not claimed speed.

    • AlienC on 01/09/2018 - 03:07

      What is the best way to do this?

      Messing around with I think netlimiter or some network monitoring app nearly broke my internet and having to set restrictions for each program and protocol and stream was very annoying and in the end not practical.

      Need a solid all in one solution or have to try and convince some pros to make it haha lol.

      Nothing super easy and user friendly atm.. and limiting one program just gives the other program more leeway so need a software that takes a widespread total system umbrella approach rather than individual program and port filtering.

      Got any ideas?
