Download Speeds

Good news!

Another enthusiast in the AVS owners thread suggested calling K to inquire about download speeds to my Strato (which had been only ~100 Mbps). He mentioned an adjustment that could be made to increase speeds. I did so yesterday.

The service rep from K told me what they would do is increase packet delivery size, which could have a positive effect.

Test downloading content today, I'm seeing 190+ Mbps speeds. Nearly double and taking time to download a UHD movie to ~40 minutes. A great improvement.

If you have a Strato only, consider making the same call.
 
I had an exchange with K TS asking about getting even fast throughput, their comment was:

"200Mbps is near the max download speed the Strato can do under ideal conditions. Our Terra server can download significantly faster."

So that matches with what others have commented.
 
FWIW, I just got my first K device, a Strato S 12TB, a couple weeks ago. I was maxing at around 186Mbps so I opened a support ticket. They did something that bumped me up to right around 250Mbps on average, with occasional spikes just over 300Mbps. That's on a gigabit connection that I've verified several times at over 900Mbps to the same switch the K is plugged into.

No near term plans for a Terra, but I've seen a number of people on this forum reporting 600-700Mbps from theirs.

Why wouldn't they just enable that for everyone?

To avoid fractured packets if there is a choke-point in the chain. They could probably setup a test sequence to automate the process, but I can think of a ton of things I'd rather time be spent on.
