My cat and I "dispersed" the twisted pair cable coming to the apartment a little

It is usually considered that the DSL "ceiling" is 20-30 Mbps, FTTB (optics to the building plus twisted pair to the apartment) is 100 Mbps, and PON supports speeds above 100 Mbps. My colleagues and I decided to dispel myths and "overclock" FTTB for a single provider.

The first thing we did was climb into the attic of the house. Already now, at least 1 Gbit / s comes to every house, and the house node has a suitable gigabit "copper" port. That is, we can simply take and switch any apartment where our cable lies to a suitable port and provide speeds of more 400 Mbps.

Actually, we have already done this as part of beta tests, and recently launched services in Moscow with new speeds for commercial operation. Yes, you can most likely connect.

What was that, cap?

Our backbone and metro networks have a free capacity reserve that significantly exceeds the needs of our customers even during the hours of the highest, maximum possible load. Take, for example, the New Year's holiday, beloved by me and the cat, in which those grandmothers who have already made friends with the Internet and Skype receive more congratulations.

What is the difference with PON

The fact is that our FTTB network, which allows us to do all this, already exists. No modifications required. The cable is already entering your apartment. All wires are down. The optics go to the nodes in the houses. You just need to take and switch the cable to another port on the switch. Everything! Such a channel is already approaching you, but you did not know about it. And PON needs to be built - this is a new infrastructure throughout the city. There is another ambush - optical cores diverge from regional automatic telephone exchanges, which require proprietary client devices. And with us, with a regular FTTB network, you can use anything. Although there are few devices adapted for L2TP.

How it works

A hefty transport canal comes from the main ring to the city level. Further along the city there are several large rings. From them - rings or mesh structures are smaller, "stars" are made at the level of the entrances. From the first level to the closet in the entrance, there are optical transport links. On the access layer switch, we will switch the cable to the gigabit port ... and that's it, we now have a gigabit link to the client.

These are the results of my colleague without a cat, but with Wi-Fi (801.11 ac).

Technical capability

After I was able to test this at several points, we established such links for all employees of the company working on the project. Pretty fast, I must say. There are almost no technical restrictions: the only thing is that there are literally a couple of dozen blocks in Moscow where it is necessary to slightly modernize the equipment, but we are already working on it.

More restrictions

You will laugh, but we have not found a way to utilize such speeds. So, it turned out that such a channel can only be clogged with very specific tasks - this is either CCTV from a bunch of cameras, or HD video for all family members at the same time, or the task of a photographer who uploads pictures somewhere. Also - network drives. In general, with the exception of torrents, this is the provider's dream: once a day, the client makes a "blast" with a heavy file and is wildly happy.

But a number of other things arose that directly relate to marketing. First, almost all resources send content much slower than the channel allows. This is an eternal problem "why my Internet slows down, and the tests show normal speed." Because you need resources that can provide a large number of customers with content delivery at high speed. So someone will have to give up their illusions, not every resource meets these requirements.
100Mbps is already very fast for Internet connections for the vast majority of users. Even higher speeds may be required by those who are forced to work with very large files.

Everything in this photo is correct, including the router.

The link must fit a desktop or laptop with copper - Wi-Fi, especially in conditions of interference from other networks, it simply will not allow the channel to be distributed at such a speed. Therefore, the best option is a desktop on a cable, tablets and phones - by air.

The end devices themselves can also cut traffic. Naturally, you must have a 400 Mbps device (router or network card). In the beta, however, a couple of surprises were revealed with the fact that not all devices can actually hold such traffic, despite the statements about it.

Tests

This is where the fun begins. We took 10 high-performance devices with L2TP support.

Gigabit is fast, especially for home use, so routers must be appropriate. I will say right away that it was not possible to cover all the models and quickly test them, so we focused on supporting gigabit connections, dual-band Wi-Fi and good feedback from users.

Our shortlist:
Asus RT-68U
D-Link DIR 825 D1
Pre-sale sample from the new manufacturer Totolink
Zyxel Keenetic Ultra
Apple Air port Time capsule

As soon as I tested the devices against our checklists in the office, it was time to test the devices in the field, here you can evaluate the real performance of the device.

For this action, I tried to prepare thoroughly, took a MacBook Pro 15 retina (late 2012) - the main working laptop, plugged a 128GB SSD into a separate desktop and connected the Asus PCE-AC68 Wi-Fi adapter there to the heap so that nothing would interfere with overclocking, just took USB Wi-Fi adapter Totolink A2000UA with support for 802.11ac just in case. In addition, I captured the iPad mini, iPhone 5 and Samsung Galaxy note - we will test Wi-Fi on them.

To test the speed, in addition to the usual resources, such as - speedtest, downloading files, I installed Iperf on one of our servers connected via a gigabit link to our core network. It seems that everything turned out something like this:

A little about the test methodology

In many reviews of routers that I have seen, stands are usually assembled with programs for generating traffic. We decided to do something differently: to conduct testing the way a subscriber will do it, checking the speed of our Internet access.
The main tools were:
1) Speedtest.net - nowhere without it
2) Mirror.yandex.ru
3) Iperf - some synthetics
4) Youtube

The list is small, but on these resources you can estimate how fast Internet access works, so to speak, a natural product and no synthetics.

Let's start testing

First, let's see which of the Wi-Fi networks are already nearby.

"People's" 2.4GHz band - neither more nor less

5GHz - we even got here, but there are not so many networks, two of them are ours

Asus RT-68U

Top router from Asus. The filling of the device inspires respect: a chip from Broadcom BCM4708A, 256MB RAM, 128MB Flash, support for 802.11ac and Beamforming is present.

Patch cord: speed test showed 224Mbps for upload and 196Mbps for Upload

Good result, we continue to test, next in line is Iperf.

On this test, the unexpected happened. Either the router started to "glitch", or iperf, but the results did not rise above 50Mbps. It's okay, let's look at a more vital test - downloading a file from Yandex.

Almost 35MB per second!

I ran the tests a few more times, then decided to clean the SSD, at such speeds it quickly clogged.

Now let's take a look at how fast Wi-Fi works. The wireless network is capricious, and many factors can affect the final performance. The laptop was located 4 meters from the router in a straight line.

The speed test showed almost 165Mbps on Download and 166 on Upload. Worthy! Especially when it comes to the 2.4GHz band

Iperf showed similar values:

Let's switch now to 5GHz. Since my router can handle 802.11ac, but my work Macbook doesn’t, I plugged in an external 802.11ac 2x2 adapter.

The connection was successful ... Let's take a look at the speed test:

209Mbps on Download 111 on Upload, most likely 210Mbps is the current ceiling for L2TP router performance. Let's hope that in the new firmware Asus will fix this.

Iperf showed the results even lower:

D-Link Dir 825 D1

The next in line is the representative of the middle price range D-Link DIR825. The router is equipped with a Dual-Band Wi-Fi module, which is currently a rarity for the mid-range. Let's see what this router is capable of.

Patch cord connection

Let's move on to testing the Wi-Fi network. The router has two Airgain antennas, so I expect high speeds over Wi-Fi.

For a network operating in the 2.4GHz band:

This frequency is maximally loaded, so such a result was, in principle, expected. How will 5GHz prove itself?

130-150Mbps. With a detailed tinkering of the settings, it turned out that if you disable encryption of the Wi-Fi network, performance increases. Of course, I did not discover America, but I did not deduce such a pattern on other routers.

Moving on to the next test subject - Totolink

This router has similar characteristics to the D-Link DIR 825, they are built on the same SoC - RTL8197D, but the radio module in this router supports 802.11ac. It will be interesting to evaluate its capabilities in real conditions.

Patch cord:

Eh ... okay, no comment.

Getting closer to reality.

To be honest, I did not think that the "old man" RTL8197D is capable of pumping through itself in L2TP at such speeds. This makes the test results of the Wi-Fi network more interesting.

"People's" frequency - 2.4GHz

Both speedtest and iperf showed almost identical results.
At 5GHz, the speed should generally be prohibitive! Probably…

But no, although the connection showed that the connection was established at a speed of 867Mbps.

Iperf is trying to lower it to the ground, and it is not bad at it.

Our last participant in the marathon - Zyxel Keenetic Ultra

Popular model among L2TP devices. It accelerates well and works stably. We connect the patch cord and run the speed test:

And I download the Fedora distribution kit, which has already become native, for the duration of the tests:

Unfortunately, this model from Zyxel does not support 802.11ac, so I will be content with 802.11n. Let's get started!

Let's look at 5GHz

Neither less nor less is the standard. This situation did not suit me, and I decided to connect a new Time Capsule with 802.11ac support (very conditional for the PCT model) to the router.

Here! It is a pity that manufacturers do not bundle timecapsula with their routers.

And if you measure the speed on your phone / tablet?

Most users, especially those who are not familiar with the methodologies of various performance tests, and simply run the application on their phone. I'll do that too.

There was an iPhone, a tablet and an Android phone. It makes no sense to test the connection on each router, so I settled on the latest router model.

For 2.4GHz and 5GHz, respectively, here we hit the performance ceiling of the Wi-Fi module on the phone. Devices on android showed about the same results, while on a tablet this speed was obtained when connected to a network at 5GHz, at 2.4GHz it will most likely be lower:

Well, tests on the street:

What happened?

The process of testing the new service fascinated me with the cat, so in the end we tested 10 routers from different manufacturers, price categories with different "stuffing". Here are the most interesting ones:

• Zyxel Keenetic Ultra
• D-Link DIR825
• Toto-Link
• Asus RT-68U
• Zyxel Keenetic Giga II
• TP-Link Archer C7 v.1
• D-Link DIR 850L
• Buffalo WZR-1759DHP
• Netgear R7000 "Highthawk"
• Arcadian

So if you have an SSD or RAID from HDD at home, there is a good Wi-Fi router, and if you solve specific tasks that require fast Internet, then the new service will be useful to you.

Price

The service is new, the description will appear on the site in a couple of days. The cost is 1850 rubles per month, if without our router.

TV decoder. Provided for rent (99 rubles / month, VAT included);

Last year, all of the major providers suddenly began introducing rates at a mind-boggling rate. Three hundred megabits per second! Five hundred! Gigabit! And then little by little they abandoned them. And now my beloved Online has a maximum of 100 Mbit / s, Beeline has the same (with one caveat, about which a little below), and for some reason still alive Akado 150 Mbit / s, although the latter can write anything, I believe everything equally with difficulty.

Why did providers cut the speed? Various options come to mind, from the high cost of investments in network infrastructure to the consequences of sanctions. But in reality, everything is much, much simpler. It turned out like in a well-known anecdote that I like to tell.

Leonid Ilyich Brezhnev is asked:

- Why is there no meat in the stores?

- We are marching into communism by leaps and bounds, the cattle cannot keep up with us.

Cattle is the level of technology that we are used to using.

Bringing gigabits to an apartment is not a cheap task, but absolutely real. And this speed can be ensured. But then the bad starts.

To pump even 500 Mbps, you need a top router. Maximum of a year ago. Better yet, completely fresh. Otherwise it will overheat and choke. The population has very few such routers. We use such old stuff that it takes your breath away. Does it work? Well, let it work, why change. Even gigabit ports are still not available everywhere.

To transfer data at such a speed over the air, you need 802.11ac / I support by the router, and, importantly, by the end device. Meanwhile, until now, official deliveries of notebooks with 802.11ac to Russia have been prohibited due to the lack of certification from the Ministry of Communications. So only 802.11n and 450 Mbps peak, but in fact - about 300. And even on a few devices imported "gray", the peak connection speed rarely exceeded 866 Mbps.

And how did it work in practice?

A man with a router, bought five years ago, and a zoo of technology that does not support 802.11ac, connects a gigabit tariff and indignantly notes that the speed is not the same! More than 300 megabits does not work in any way! Deceived, crooked creatures! Angry messages begin to forums, letters and calls to technical support. It is impossible to find out the reasons for what is happening without the visit of the master. So they start to drive them. Wizards tell users - buy new routers, upgrade equipment. This causes a new wave of indignation - oh, you creatures, you not only fight money every month, you also spend it on equipment! Yes, I'll sue you!

In general, after three months of such bedlam, providers realized that nerves are more expensive. And removed high-speed rates from sites. Most users, in fact, have nowhere to go for 100 megabits. And even 50. So no one really noticed the disappearance of tariffs.

They write to me that small providers are still trying to sell speeds of 400 and even 500 Mbit / s, but either they have pumped users, or technical support with titanium nerves. MGTS keeps in its assortment a tariff of 500 megabits, but they have nowhere to go, they dragged “gigabits into every house” with such fervor that it is impossible to refuse it. Beeline sells 365 megabits at the most expensive tariff, but only bundled with its own router (by the way, very cool - the first implementation of 802.11ac on the Mediatek chipset). In any case, I'm afraid that for another two or three years we will not see a return to the gigabit level in the mass segment.

Residents of the Chelyabinsk region were the first in the Urals to have the opportunity to use home Internet at speeds up to 500 Mbps. The download time for torrents and files of several gigabytes does not exceed 2 minutes, and users of online games can react to all events in real time down to milliseconds. The Internet project site conducted its own experiment and tested high-speed Internet tariffs in real conditions, and also learned what it takes to get 500 Mbps Internet.

Three or four years ago, one of the main topics of any conversation among young people was the speed of the Internet. The transition from 2 megabits ADSL to 10 or 20 megabits in optics was considered the height of the reasonable and unreasonable needs of any Internet user. It was like buying your own apartment or a business class car. Nowadays, no one can be surprised at such a speed.

Recently, users have been choosing between optics to the house and optics to the apartment. In the first case, the main channel is divided into all residents of the house or entrance, and the speed depends on the load of each client and is distributed among all connections. In case of heavy loads, the speed drops for everyone who is connected to the same node. In the second case, the subscriber has a personal connection and the data transfer rate depends only on the number of working devices in the house and their speed limits.

Many operators provide tariffs with the declared speed of 100 Mbps and even 200 Mbps. And since April 2018, the residents of the Chelyabinsk region have access to ultra-high-speed home Internet 500 Mbit / s. By the way, these speeds are available only for subscribers of the South Urals. In other regions, the ceiling is 200 Mbps.

For our experiment, we used a NETGEAR Nighthawk X6 gigabit router with 802.11ac Tri-Band support. It operates in three Wi-Fi frequency ranges - transmission / reception 3x3 (2.4 GHz) + 3x3 (5 GHz) + 3x3 (5 GHz). I must say that this thing is very serious. Dimensions and weight are impressive. But this router perfectly shows the capabilities of networks with speeds of 500 Mbps in real conditions. The plus of this piece of iron is that it practically does not heat up and has an intelligent system for analyzing traffic and redistributing flows between connected devices. In addition, an ASUS laptop and an Apple iPhone X smartphone were used.

For the purity of the experiment, the tests were carried out in five different districts of the city of Chelyabinsk on the Rostelecom network within the “Game” tariff and the “Maximum benefit 100 Mbit / s” tariff. By the way, the speed of 500 Mbit / s in the Chelyabinsk region, at least for now, is available only to subscribers of the operator "Rostelecom". The company increased the speed threshold for its customers in April 2018. Currently, ultra-high speeds are provided to subscribers of the "Game" package automatically.

The measurements were carried out on April 5-9, 2018 in Chelyabinsk from 8:00 to 12:00. This was done in order to avoid loading external channels. For measurements, three actions most frequently used by ordinary users were selected:

1. Standard speed measurement via Speedtest.net
2. Downloading a file from the Internet: distribution kit with corporate CRM (260 MB)
3. Downloading a file via a torrent client: the distribution kit of the World Of Tanks game (7.2 GB)

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

General speed check

id = "sub0">

First, we ran Speedtest five times with a Rostelecom-Chelyabinsk server. Here are our average results:

A district of the city	Rate	Ping	Incoming speed	Outgoing speed
Central	100 Mbps	4 ms	102.25 Mbps	100.5 Mbps
	500 Mbps	3 ms	501.54 Mbps	469.75 Mbps
Kurchatovsky	100 Mbps	3 ms	99.6 Mbps	96.0 Mbps
	500 Mbps	3 ms	496.5 Mbps	498.0 Mbps
Kalininsky	100 Mbps	3 ms	98.4 Mbps	89.8 Mbps
	500 Mbps	4 ms	496.67 Mbps	458.5 Mbps
Soviet	100 Mbps	3 ms	102.6 Mbps	100.4 Mbps
	500 Mbps	4 ms	590.26 Mbps	470.91 Mbps
Leninist	100 Mbps	4 ms	99.1 Mbps	97.25 Mbps
	500 Mbps	3 ms	497.25 Mbps	496.2 Mbps
Tractor plant.	100 Mbps	4 ms	101.4 Mbps	100.2 Mbps
	500 Mbps	3 ms	498.75 Mbps	496.15 Mbps

In general, we did not record any serious deviations from the declared speeds at any tariff. Everything is expected. Our NETGEAR Nighthawk X6 router in conjunction with the iPhone X delivered a speed of 500 Mbit / s stably. Likewise with the base rate of 100 Mbps. Also note that the variation in speed from area to area was very small. Probably, the traffic load on Rostelecom's networks is uniform.

Downloading a file from the Internet

id = "sub1">

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

A district of the city	Rate	File upload time 260 MB
Central	100 Mbps	72 sec
	500 Mbps	24 sec
Kurchatovsky	100 Mbps	70 sec
	500 Mbps	30 sec
Kalininsky	100 Mbps	74 sec
	500 Mbps	26 sec
Soviet	100 Mbps	72 sec
	500 Mbps	22 sec
Leninist	100 Mbps	75 sec
	500 Mbps	27 sec
Traktorozavodsky	100 Mbps	72 sec
	500 Mbps	28 sec

To be honest, the findings were surprising. As it turned out, the download time for files at rates of 100 and 500 Mbps is not proportional. Despite the fact that the speeds differ by 5 times, the difference in loading time differs by 3 times. And the reason is simple - the servers from which the distribution kit is downloaded limit the speed with which they "give" this file. This is done to protect the server from overloads, because there can be one hundred or even a thousand such simultaneous downloads. This must be borne in mind.

Downloading files via torrent client

id = "sub2">

In contrast to the standard downloading of files from the Web, where server owners insure themselves against overloads and limit the maximum possible download speed, the torrent technology was invented. Its essence lies in the fact that the file (game distribution or 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 - you need a special torrent client program to download. 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 game World Of Tanks, 7.2 GB in size. Here are the results:

A district of the city	Rate	File download time via torrent tracker 7.2 GB
Central	100 Mbps	7 min 35 sec
	500 Mbps	1 min 59 sec
Kurchatovsky	100 Mbps	7 min 29 sec
	500 Mbps	1 min 55 sec
Kalininsky	100 Mbps	7 min 28 sec
	500 Mbps	1 min 50 sec
Soviet	100 Mbps	7 min 30 sec
	500 Mbps	1 min 56 sec
Leninist	100 Mbps	7 min 32 sec
	500 Mbps	1 min 56 sec
Traktorozavodsky	100 Mbps	7 min 34 sec
	500 Mbps	2 min 01 sec

On the 100 megabits tariff, the required file was downloaded in 7.5 minutes, on the 500 megabits tariff - in less than 2 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, be they distributions of programs, games, films, TV shows, videos in the highest possible quality (4K), as well as fans of online games.

How it works?

id = "sub3">

Until recently, the maximum available speed provided by the providers of the Chelyabinsk region did not exceed 350 Mbps. The record "five hundred" has become available to residents of the region for the first time.

Internet and interactive TV using optics to an apartment technology at a speed of 500 Mb / s are available to residents of Chelyabinsk, Bakal, Emanzhelinsk, Zlatoust, Kopeysk, Korkino, Miass, Magnitogorsk, Ozersk, Plast, Satka, Snezhinsk, Troitsk, Chebarkul and Yuzhnouralsk.

In order to use home Internet at speeds up to 500 Mbps, it is important to fulfill several conditions. Firstly, you need to be a Rostelecom subscriber, have a GPON connection, as well as a router, computer and smartphone with support for dual-band Wi-Fi 802.11 ac (2.4 GHz, 5 GHz).

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

For its part, Rostelecom over the past few years has been building networks based on optics to an apartment technology. This principle of network organization distinguishes Rostelecom from many other providers that build networks using optics to home technology. The speed and quality of download itself does not always depend on the channels provided by the operator. An important role here is played by the equipment installed at the user's home.

Equipment

id = "sub4">

To obtain the maximum speeds, it is necessary to check the equipment used. In particular, routers, network cards, laptops, tablets, smartphones, smart TVs must have support for dual-band Wi-Fi 802.11 ac (2.4 GHz, 5 GHz). The relevant information is indicated in the specifications of the devices. If your router works in Wi-Fi 802.11 b / g / n standards, then technically it will not be able to provide a speed of 500 Mbps. If the subscriber already has a serious user device, then via Wi-Fi you can get speeds significantly higher than 200 megabits.

It is also worth noting that simultaneously with the launch of ultra-high-speed Internet tariffs, Rostelecom began to provide the corresponding equipment in installments for 12 or 24 months. In addition, you can buy routers with support for 500 Mbps speed yourself.

Special speed conditions are provided to users of the "Game" tariff. Since April 2018, base speeds have been increased to 500 megabits per second. In addition, customers can connect options for World of Tanks, World of Warships, World of Warplanes, Lineage 2, Blade & Soul and Point Blank at no additional cost.

Outcomes

id = "sub5">

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

If you are a professional geek who spends his nights playing games in search of the most modern and perfect games, if you need to download the entire season of a TV series, film or distribution kit of a "heavy" program as quickly as possible, then we recommend that you take a closer look at the new high-speed home tariffs. internet up to 500 Mbps. They will help save time and nerves, as well as make the groundwork for connecting all new devices / gadgets to the Internet.
