Re: Speed HALFED again

Same again:
Result on ipv6:
Result on ipv4: my normal login:

This was just by changing my login details.
Now it MIGHT be gateway lottery again, but PN says this is a thing of the past  Undecided

Re: Speed HALFED again

Speeds over 24Mbps can only be fibre!
@Hairy McBiker Have you checked the current line speed on the portal and compared it with the IP Profile reported by the BT diagnostic test?

Re: Speed HALFED again

Sorry...brain freeze...
What is your MTU on your router if you run this command ip rt6advd iflist ?
Edit: It appears that speedtest.net is dual stacked but the test runs over v4 - so that should rule out a MTU problem

Re: Speed HALFED again

From my members page:
Estimated line speed:
   There's no speed estimate currently held on your account.
Current line speed:
   77.4 Mb
Not done a BT test as it seems fine on ipv4. (Which I am still on)
Currently:

I will drop this connection and re-login as ipv6

Retest using ipv6
So a little slower but not the major difference there was before, however the ping has more than doubled.

Re: Speed HALFED again

What if you ping a site like bbc.co.uk in v6 (ping -6 ipv6.bbc.co.uk )? How does that compare to normal bbc pings?

Re: Speed HALFED again

Sorry - my mistake, that BBC IPv6 IP isn't responding to pings.
Try ipv6.thinkbroadband.com (2a02:68:1::4)

andy you figured a way to get our asus routers to set a seperate ipv6 mtu to ipv4 mtu?
