Hey guys, I know you have heard me bitching about this in the past but I am now going to post a few screenshots to illustrate.
We all know that ISP's try to be as slick as possible to throttle speeds, this will show what is going down on a 1 Gbps symmetrical fiber connection.
I have a VPS located in Atlanta, GA hosted with RamNode that I am using for this test, its named 'max' in the screenshots below. I host an Apache webserver here at home on port 80 that serves up Linux mirrors and nothing else.

1) You see that coming from 'max' to my server via HTTP:80 we get about 1.13MBps, it ranges from about 800KBps-2.1MBps.
2) You see that coming from 'max' to my server via my OpenVPN tunnel back to my home where the web server is located its even worse, ~700KBps. That's over a deep packet inspection proof encrypted connection.
3) Lastly, you will see me proving that 'max' has no shortage of bandwidth by connecting over to http://ftp.linux.ncsu.edu and pulling the same ISO image. No problem at ~63MBps+.

In this image I am making a direct HTTP:80 connection to the web server on a machine here on the same LAN as the web server. This demonstrates that Apache is not choking down and unable to serve more than ~2MBps as you may want to think.

I'm trying to get my thoughts together about how to file a Net Neutrality complaint over to the FCC (https://consumercomplaints.fcc.gov/hc/en-us/requests/new?ticket_form_id=38824). Please send me your thoughts on what you think I should do.
Please no bitching about 'how lucky you are to have that connection crap', someone has to have it, it just happens to be me and the other three bastards in Wake county. ha :) Think of this as let Brian work out all the kinks so when you get it, it will be smoooother, lol
