Title: Network performance
Post by: zyber on September 07, 2020, 12:09:47 PM
Anyone else noticed that the network is quite poor these days? The installation of the new switches seems to have had no real benefit as far as the network is concerned.

Nothing consistent that I could report on.

we are due a broadband upgrade soon hopefully that solves things. it has been dire since we started back too but it could just be all the schools now using online learning tools more now that its taxing the bandwidth

Our c2k and legacy are both being hammered at the minute.

We are averaging about 2-3TB's a week on our 100/100 legacy fibre line, we just put an order in for a 1GB line.

It should be installed October/November.

Internally everything seems to be working fine, problems occurring with external access.
 Logged a call with help-desk. Initially guy looked and said we were only using half our bandwidth and there shouldn't be a problem until i got him to remote onto my workstation.
 Once he saw that basic web-pages take 30+ seconds to load call is getting escalated.

Funy thing is that upload speeds will max out when this is happening so it seems like traffic shaping being done by capita. So either the main proxy server sucks or they just dont have enough bandwidth across the c2k network for data in 2020.

My last speed test was 570kbs download and 85 Mbps upload, quite the difference.

I have 10 open calls with Carpita.   All performance related.  Internet and network have been useless the past couple of weeks.

Get Huawei switches they said...
The network will be faster they said...    :-\

Just get the standard "All schools are affected" response.  Nothing to say when things will be back to normal.

If you use fast.com Netflix speed test and then click more info at the bpttom of the page do you get much faster uploads than download?

Not much difference between the two... 79Mbps download, 72Mbps upload

Yeah our upload is 2/3x speed of download.  Identity manager took about 45 seconds before it loaded the search icon this morning 🤪

Capita saying no issues at their end and everything looks fine. They now want to reset profiles at the server end to see if this fixed the slow network issues

Got an email back also saying "Due to further investigation it is now clear this is part of a much bigger wider issue"
