Troubleshooting Network Speeds The Age Old Inquiry

I’m looking for help with what I’m sure is an age old question. I’ve found myself in a situation of yearning to understand network throughput more clearly, but I can’t seem to find information that makes it “click”

We have a few servers distributed geographically, running various versions of Windows. Assuming we always use one host (a desktop)…

Our wi-fi at work is ridiculously slow, will adding more range extenders improve it?

At work, we have two wireless networks (e.g., Work1 Work2); the Work2 is used downstairs and Work1 is used upstairs. However, both are notoriously slow. The connection is better when we are wired in, but unfortunately due to our building being very old and our company growing very fast, most employees are not…

How fast is 127.0.0.1?

I wonder it it is tied to my NIC at all or if the OS or driver intercepts and immediately returns data sent to the loopback address?

Answer [by Zypher]: How fast is 127.0.0.1?

No all 127.0.0.1 traffic never hits the physical network, it gets processed by a loop back adapter in the kernel.

Will a higher bandwidth Internet connection lower ping response time?

It sounds obvious that a faster connection lowers latency… But I wonder: I am working remotely on a host the other side of the world – light can only travel so fast (1 foot in a nano second) and we both have broadband connections in excess of 1,000kbps upload and 10,000kbps download:
