So I moved to Chattanooga so I could get the fastest internet in America
-
It was installed a couple of days ago.
I had to wait for an X520 card that came yesterday.
Ubuntu X520 <-> ix1.240 <-> tnsr 20.02 NAT <-> ix0 <-> ISP 10G

Impressive.

No more pfSense for you ?
-
i'm selling / i want to exchange my house in italy for one in Chattanooga ...
-
Really sexy stuff is going on there.
I'd also be interested to see the same test and pfSense.-Rico
-
pfSense is behind tnsr directly routing with no NAT. I'll get some behind pfSense numbers soon.
-
Still through tnsr:
Georgia State University (32032): 5310/3747
Cox Atlanta (16611): 5431/653
UT Austin (16089): 2818/2539 -
This is the test environment in general. 10G switching is a Brocade ICX6610.
The transit network to pfSense is 2x10G LACP.
-
@Derelict that is insane! I assume your TNSR doesn't even break a sweat either. Man, I can only dream...
-
About 1400/1500 behind pfSense. About 100M/sec less with snort enabled on LAN.
-
That's super impressive. I'm assuming this is your personal network. What do you do with all that throughput? Does give you bragging rights for sure.

He's gone plaid!
And I'm stuck at 200Mbps.
Where's that FTTP people seem to have been promising for years?!Steve
-
I'd die happy with a 1Gbps sync. fiber and he plays 10G... insane! :)
-
Nice!
Over here 1G symmetric costs €39/month and 10G symmetric €89/month or €890/year
Not available in all regions though. -
Wow, that's good value.
-
Awesome speed!! Another area in the midwest U.S. that offers 10Gbit internet as well is Cedar Falls, Iowa -- and starting at only $105/month. That's fantastic deal, nevermind the area's lower cost of living.

@Derelict - I'm curious if you would entertain us and do a bit more testing on your 10Gbit circuit - how about a running a Flent RRUL test against a AWS or Google Cloud VM near you to see if your equipment can push 9Gbit/s+ up and down at the same time? It's a full duplex test. :)

Just curious --- what is the "over-subscription model" for these 10G providers in the US and abroad? I'm wondering how reliable the 10G performance really is. Or stated another way, how quickly does the speed fall way down due to oversubscription like can happen in a cable system with a highly loaded node. So long as only one or two folks do a speed test they get full speeds, but if say six try it simultaneoulsy everybody gets killed.
For example, back years ago when I had DSL, BellSouth fed the DSLAM I was connected to with a 12 megabits/sec circuit composed of eight trunked 1.5 megabits/sec T1 lines in what amounted to a LACP trunk. They sold 1.5, 3.0 and 6.0 megabits/sec service out of that DSLAM. At that time, if I recall, a remote DSLAM could typically feed 24 or maybe up to 48 residences. So obviously all of us did not get 6 megabits/sec simultaneously. So just wondering how it holds up for you guys with 1G and 10G services.
I'm stuck at 100/10 megabits/sec (down/up) at my house, but thankfully I'm on a super lightly loaded node and I've never seen my speeds suffer from the effects of over-subscription. I did, from to time, see the effects of over-subscription with my old DSL service.

They discussed it. As of now they are not overbooking anything. There are only a small handful of people with this service here according to them. They ran another strand of fiber and I am connected straight to them outside the normal 1G network that carries their streaming TV, etc. They also said they had recently upgraded the backend to 100G backbones. Their 1G network also consistently tested like 938/938 when I eliminated any bottlenecks caused by me. Like every time I ran it.
Anything other than standard DHCP gets pretty expensive. If you want statics, etc.
A full 10G/10G with routed subnets, etc is $7500/month with term commitments, etc. I will not be doing that. :)
I like them. No nonsense with their gear (See the AT&T garbage in the other threads), etc. Just a DHCP ethernet handoff. The 10G is a multimode LC connector. The 1G is copper.
It is pretty difficult having a profitable ISP model without technically overbooking everything. It's how packet-switched networks are designed to work. "guaranteed" bandwidth that is not being used is wasted. I am pretty happy with an ISP as long as they do not bufferbloat the crap out of everything and the latency/jitter is kept to a acceptable level. For me, consistency is more important than speed. I just wanted this because I could get it.
We use to have Frame-Relay going all over southern California. We'd go through NNIs between GTE/Verizon and AT&T. They would constantly overbook those and it was a total PITA to get it fixed.

Yeah, that's the way I would like my fiber to the home service to work if any is ever available in my small town. Just give me a fiber connector and an IP address (for IPv4, DHCP works). For IPv6 I truly hope the residential ISPs get their acts together in the US and offer you a static /56 or even a /48.

@bmeeks They are slow in implementing IPv6 but at least they have not done it wrong.

I knew Chattanooga had their own city infrastructure. I followed the discussions in the past. Geographically I'm not too far away from you down in south central Georgia, but no Gigabit anything around here ...
. Of course I could walk out of the house and leave my doors unlocked without really fretting too much, so there is that ... 
.Been to Chattanooga many times to visit and on business. Our company had contracts for IT-related nuclear power things from DS&S (bought out by Rolls-Royce). I was at their Chattanooga location a few times and over in Huntsville, AL a bunch of times.
