Speedtest request: Interoute vs. Akamai
Hello everybody!
I would like to request everyone to participate in my comparison.
I compare the CDNs of interoute versus Akamai and versus a normal dedicated server located in Germany (Hosteurope).
Here are the files:
Interoute:
http://del.interoute.com/?id=908fce4...ivery=download
Akamai:
http://a23.g.akamai.net/7/23/2740/00...eaver4TBYB.exe
Hosteurope:
http://ftp.hosteurope.de/mirror/ftp....8.1.13.src.rpm
Thank you!!
P.S. For me it is also very very interesting to know the peak (!) not just the average!
Thank you!

From Amsterdam:
Interroute: 985K/sec stable
Akamai: 1.44M/sec stable
Hosteurope: 1.1 - 1.4M/sec going up and down
The main advantage of a CDN is that speeds will be good for everybody, regardless of where they are located. Hosteurope might be fast for me since I am close, but it will not be for somebody in, say, south america.Powered by Level3, GBLX and AT&T

I always use a downloadmanager for testing, so it usually pushes the full speeds.
Amsterdam, 100mbps connection:
Code:Interoute: 8438KBps (to small for testing, speed was still going up) Akamai: 7912KBps (to small for testing, speed was still going up) HostEurope: 11900KBps (full 100mbps connection)

Very interesting are especially real cable or DSL connections (testing from end-customer perspective)! Thanks!

New Jersey
Peak:
Interoute = 751 kbps
Akamai = 10.6 mbps (inaccurate)
HostEurope = 612 kbps
I can give you a more accurate reading for Akamai if you post a download link for a larger file. It went *zip* as soon as I clicked the link.Email: info ///at/// honelive.com
