Hi,

I have recently upgraded from Premier Connect Plus to Super Showroom -
mainly for the bonded channel support. I have run some tests on using a
single channel versus using the two bonded channels. The speed (bits/sec
download) increase is only somewhere between 10%-20%. I have monitored this
using WinXP task manager and DU Meter as well as connection speed test sites
on the Web.

Is this normal? I was expecting at least a +80% speed-up, Super Showroom is
not exactly cheap.

T/A - Eicon Diva 852
Windows XP SP1

I use the 128kbps Anytime dialup number.

Thanks

try FTPing the testfiles fulfile regularfile and emptyfile from
ftp.demon.co.uk in the pub/test directory and post the results -
ideally on one and two channel operation.

you may have lost compression in changing account, and may need to set
that up again on http://www.demon.net/webpassword/ or ask support

I have now solved the speed issue. I was using the serial modem connection
as I was previously having probs with the USB. I switched back to USB and
the speeds jumped up.

D'oh!

Thanks for your help.

BTW My "Link Compression" setting on the webpassword site is set to "None".
What does this setting do?

Gives you upto 4 times compression on compessible data. Try the ftp test
suggested and post the results, you should get about 14KB/s for binary
files but a hell of a lot more for plain text or the 'emptyfile'

Cheers.

it tells Demon what type of compression your TA supports and hence
what to try and negotiate. Worth having compression for web browsing,
email etc.
