Slow download speed in Sweden

[cafe_91]

Hi,

Recently I've been getting really slow downloading speeds. I'm on a 100Mb/s fiber connection and used to get around 2MB/s and now only get around 300KB/s.

I did a traceroute and got:

I looks to me like it tries to take a route to AS6453 through Frankfurt, but according to their website (as6453.net) they have a peer exchange here in Stockholm.

According to DNSstuff.com, the bitgravity IP address in near Wichita, Kansas USA. The as6453.net is the same as Line #5 in your traceroute.

Maybe there is no peering agreement between as6453.net and either telia.net or bahnhof.se.

Ashburn is in Virgina, USA.

Maybe bitgravity should have a server closer to you. Also your speeds are probably from bitgravity and hopefully not from bahnhof.se

It is very unlikely that he is going to Assburn.. I mean Ashburn for the media. Bitgravity does have servers in Europe. When an end-user resolves bitcast-a.bitgravity.com, he/she will be routed to the nearest/best destination. More information on anycast (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anycast).

Are you still having slowness issues? If so, please visit here (http://bitgravity.com/netdebug/) and run the tests and submit the report on completion. Please also be sure to reference ticket #3542.

Thanks.

I submitted the report earlier today, and I don't know if they did anything yet, but now I get around 5MB/s. The ping is also half of what it was yesterday.

Solved.

Those guys at Bitgravity (http://bitgravity.com) are pretty awesome when it comes to resolving issues... actually they are awesome all around. I think I might have a man crush on them.
