Internet 200 Mbps with beeline. Pitfalls of high-speed Internet service providers. Why does the picture and sound from the interlocutors go to me normally during video calls, but not from me to them

  • 25.03.2020

The Internet project "Be mobile" tested the ultra-high-speed Internet tariffs of the provider "Dom.ru" in Chelyabinsk. For the experiment, we selected the most popular offers among users and compared them with each other.

Three or four years ago, one of the main topics of any conversation of young people was the speed of the Internet. The transition from 2 megabits of ADSL to 10 megabits of optical fiber was considered the height of reasonable and unreasonable needs of any user of the Network. It was like buying your own apartment or a business class car. Now no one is surprised at such a speed. And in general, the topic of speeds goes by the wayside.

However, the race continues. At least the operators think so. They bring new and new offers to the market. Almost each of them already has tariffs of 100-200 Mbps.

By the way, connections of this type are increasingly being used by providers to pass IPTV signals, video from the Internet to the TV screen and others. modern services. Content producers, seeing the modernization of networks and the ability of providers to pass large amounts of traffic on their networks, are starting to produce more and more films, series in high definition and even 4K formats.

The editors of the Internet project "Be Mobile" decided to compare the ultra-high-speed Internet tariffs of one of the leading telecom operators in Chelyabinsk in order to understand why such speeds are needed and to whom they can be useful.

To do this, we chose four offers from Dom.ru with different speeds from 10 to 200 megabits per second.

For the purity of the experiment, measurements were taken on June 1 and 2, 2015 in Chelyabinsk from 8:00 to 12:00. This was done in order to avoid loading external channels. For tests, we took the Asus RT-68U router (BCM4708A, 256MB RAM, 128MB Flash, 802.11ac and Beamforming support is present).

For measurements, the three most commonly used actions by ordinary users were selected:

1. Standard speed measurement via Speedtest.net

3. Downloading a file from the Internet: distribution kit with corporate CRM(260 MB)

During the tests, the downloaded files were deleted each time, the browser cache was cleared, proxy servers were not used. Thus, it can be argued that the results depended only on the channel speed and nothing more. Looking ahead, let's say right away that the test results surprised us. But let's talk about everything in order.

Speed ​​measurements

id="sub0">

At first we ran Speedtest five times. Here are our average results:

Dom.ru 10 Dom.ru 40 Dom.ru 100 Dom.ru 200
Claimed internet speed 10 Mbps 40 Mbps 100 Mbps 200 Mbps
ping 4 ms 4 ms 3ms 4 ms
Incoming speed 11.2 Mbps 40.7 Mbps 94.4 Mbps 185.4 Mbps
Outgoing speed 10.6 Mbps 42 Mbps 92.0 Mbps 196.5 Mbps

In general, we did not record any serious deviations from the declared speeds at any tariff. Everything is expected.

Web surfing

id="sub1">

As a result of measuring the time of five consecutive openings home page www.mail.ru in the Chrome browser, we received the following data:

Dom.ru 10 Dom.ru 40 Dom.ru 100 Dom.ru 200
Average page load time on the web 3 sec 3.5 sec 3 sec 3 sec

The results look strange at first glance. All rates show identical data. Why is it at 10 megabits per second the download speed is 3 seconds, and at 40 megabits per second - 3.5? In fact, there is nothing strange. If you watch the channel load schedule online, you can see that even at peak times, the load does not rise above 3-4 megabits - this is a feature of the "slow start" mechanism of the TCP / IP protocol. The spread of data here is completely random, and on average, on the slowest connection, on the fastest, the page opening time lies in the same range of 3-4 seconds.

In fact, only 3-4 megabits of the channel are used. In general, when simply browsing the Internet, the user will not be able to distinguish the difference between 10 megabits and 200 megabits, which cannot be said about downloading “heavy” content.

Downloading files from the Internet

id="sub2">

Much more dependent on speed is the direct download of files from the Web. Here are the results we got with a standard download of a 260 MB file:

To be honest, the results were surprising. As it turned out, the download time of files at rates of 10 and 200 Mbps is not proportional. Despite the fact that the speeds differ by 20 times, the difference in loading time differs by 2.5 times. At tariffs of 100 and 200 Mbps, the differences are even smaller. And the reason is simple - the servers from which the distribution is downloaded limit the speed with which they "give" this file. This is done to protect the server from overloads, because there can be a hundred or even a thousand such simultaneous downloads. This must be borne in mind.

Downloading files via a torrent client

id="sub3">

Unlike the standard download of files from the Web, where server owners are insured against overloads and limit the maximum possible download speed, torrent technology was invented. Its essence lies in the fact that the file (the distribution kit of the game or the movie) is located not on one server, but on many. Moreover, the servers in this case are user computers located throughout the Internet. Therefore, you can download the file in parts: part from one computer, the next part from another, etc. This is the advantage of technology. Minus - for downloading you need a special torrent client program. In addition, you need to have a torrent link to the file. Links are usually posted on specialized forums.

This is where the difference in tariffs becomes visible to the naked eye. For example, we downloaded the distribution kit of the World Of Tanks game, 7.2 GB in size. Here are the results we got:

At the rate of 10 megabits, the required file was downloaded for almost an hour, at the rate of 40 megabits - in 18 minutes, and at the rate of 200 megabits - only 3.5 minutes. The difference is very noticeable.

It turns out that high-speed tariffs should be recommended to users who often transfer or receive large files, whether they are distributions of programs, games, movies, TV shows and other multimedia content.

I have been using the high-speed tariff for 1.5 months now and I am very glad that I switched. Downloading games, movies in high definition began to happen 4-5 times faster. It's very tangible. If earlier I spent an hour and a half to download a movie, now the same thing happens in 5-10 minutes. And in addition to the Internet, I got access to 135 channels digital television. We watch and use the whole family, - says Stanislav Pokhlebaev, a subscriber of the Dom.ru 200 tariff.

I am very glad that I have a high-speed Dom.ru tariff. Movies, music and other heavy content are loaded in minutes. Previously, the same thing was loaded for an hour and two, - Artyom, another subscriber of the Dom.ru 200 tariff, notes. - It remains to buy a TV with 4K support and watch movies in ultra-high definition.

Results

id="sub4">

The results of our experiment showed that superfast rates are not a myth. They really provide a tangible advantage for those who regularly download or download large files from the Internet, watch movies and series using torrents.

If you are a professional geek who spends nights looking for the most modern and perfect games, if you need to download the entire season of a series, movie or distribution kit of a “heavy” program as quickly as possible, then we recommend that you take a closer look at the Dom.ru 200 tariff . It will help save you time and nerves.
