Hello All,
In doing some testing at the HQ, we took a couple of screen shots to illustrate the type of download speeds that Autobahn helps achieve. In one of our test setups we’ve got a standard, consumer Comcast connection, which they recently gussied up with speed burst capability.
One of the cool things that we noticed is that with Autobahn running, we were able use that speed burst consistently to hit an incredible 25 Mbps download speed multiple times over the duration of video downloads. That’s over 6x Comcast’s regular download speed.
To give some perspective, with 25 Mbps, you could stream 20 simultaneous broadcast quality videos, or 4 simultaneous HD quality videos.
This first graph shows network utilization while we downloaded “The 3 Musketeers”, a 1.2 GB feature length movie, using Autobahn. Each vertical line on the graph represents 6 seconds, and the download was completed in just 9 minutes and 18 seconds. Click to see the full image . . .
Additionally, here’s a network graph showing a download of one of our favorites, “Chappelle’s Show.” On the left is a download with Autobahn running - you can see that it hits peaks of 25 Mbps. On the right is a download without Autobahn, which maxed out at under 5 Mbps and took a great deal longer to download. Click to see the full image . . .
Autobahn lets users get the most out of their broadband connection, and shows the potential for speed and video quality over the Internet. So, what’s the max speed you’ve a seen on your connection?
