    Poor FTP upload speed

    A client of mine transfers a 1Gb zipped file of data to me every month, but this month he reports that the upload speed is EXTREMELY slow (50KB/s). I've just tried myself and also get the same speed.

    I've normally been getting around 200KB/s so something has obviously changed in the last 3-4 weeks. I've rung my server hosting company and they've confirmed no issues at their end. I've tried a trace route from here (home office) to my FTP site and can't see any problems, so I'm not sure what I should try next. Speed tests on my home office line show a 528KB/s upload speed and 5.3MB/s download. I've now tried this at several time throughout the day but never get higher than 55KB/s. Tests to other FTP sites acheive the expected 200KB/s so I guess this puts my ISP out of the frame but does point the finger at the server hosting chaps.

    Anyone got any thoughts?

    Tell your hosting company that you will walk away unless they fix it ASAP.

      Are you mixing up your Bs and bs?

      50KB/s upload is about what you'd expect if your line's upload speed is 528Kb/s. 200KB/s is impossible.
      Will work inside IR35. Or for food.
