With 100M broadband everywhere, why is our internet speed always slower than advertised?
|
Have you felt that the operators have increased speed and reduced fees for two years? I believe many people will say that "the effect is not so obvious". However, data released by the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology show that the broadband speed in our country is close to 12M! And when you walk into the operator's service hall, you will find that advertisements for 50M, 100M and even 200M broadband packages are already everywhere. So the question is, why is the user's Internet speed always slower than advertised? The first reason is still the old topic-the misunderstanding caused by unit conversion. At present, we go to the business hall to apply for 100M broadband. The 100M here refers to 100 megabits per second (ie 100Mbps), and we usually use some Internet speed test software to show the download speed, and its unit of measurement is megabytes per second (ie Mb/s). The relationship between the two is 1:8, that is, 100M broadband should correspond to a download speed of 12.5Mb/s per second, 50M broadband corresponds to 6.25Mb/s per second... and so on. The above are just theoretical values. It is difficult for the network speed in the actual use environment to reach this standard 100%. It is generally believed that the actual network speed of the user's home can be regarded as meeting the standard if the error range between the theoretical speed claimed by the operator is 77% (busy time) - 93% (off-peak time). If the difference is greater, then it is necessary to check whether the network equipment at home is faulty or the operator has made a false claim. We have mentioned the problem of false claims of broadband by operators in an earlier article. Here is a brief recap. At present, the phenomenon of false claims of network speed mainly occurs in second- and third-tier operators such as Great Wall Broadband and eHome Broadband. These operators do not have their own backbone networks, but need to rent lines from first-tier operators such as China Unicom, China Telecom, and China Mobile. Therefore, in order to reduce costs and compete with first-tier operators through low-price strategies, second- and third-tier operators often sell broadband services to users through the "one line for multiple uses" method. In other words, the nominal 100M line is not exclusive to one user, but shared by multiple users. The speed of this shared broadband is OK during off-peak hours, but once it reaches the peak of Internet access or encounters download maniacs, the speed will be seriously slowed down. In addition, it is worth mentioning that it is unscientific to measure the Internet speed simply by the speed of opening a certain website. The website opening speed is not only related to the user's network connection speed, but also has a direct relationship with the response speed of the website server. For example, during the peak period of Spring Festival ticket rush, the server of the 12306 website will be crowded with a large number of user request data, and the server's response efficiency will decrease at this time, which is reflected on the user side as slow web page opening speed, delayed refresh of remaining ticket information, errors in submitting ticket purchase orders, etc. As a winner of Toutiao's Qingyun Plan and Baijiahao's Bai+ Plan, the 2019 Baidu Digital Author of the Year, the Baijiahao's Most Popular Author in the Technology Field, the 2019 Sogou Technology and Culture Author, and the 2021 Baijiahao Quarterly Influential Creator, he has won many awards, including the 2013 Sohu Best Industry Media Person, the 2015 China New Media Entrepreneurship Competition Beijing Third Place, the 2015 Guangmang Experience Award, the 2015 China New Media Entrepreneurship Competition Finals Third Place, and the 2018 Baidu Dynamic Annual Powerful Celebrity. |
