I just converted my laptop that I use at work to Linux since I had accidentally killed XP and figured I'd install Linux on it instead. Problem is, the network performance is TERRIBLE!
Check this out:
This is completely unusable, I can barely even use SSH because it's so damn slow and choppy.
Anything I can do? I could not find a VPN client that works so I'm just using openvpn directly in a console. Linux is suppose to be better at this stuff. Aparantly not.
The client connection is DSL (12/1) and the DLSAM is literaly like 30 feet away from the modem, my home connection (where I VPN to) is 50/30 fibre. So I know it's not the connection itself, and this only started when I switched to Linux.
Edit: I thought it was the VPN since it seemed ok till I connected, but I think it's actually the network stack itself it's just intermittent. Using ping -f and getting tons of packet loss within VPN but without it as well. Guess it's more a Linux specific issue at this point.
