Real Bandwidth usage - Control Center which one is correct?

Hi All,

After years of XG usage, I still cannot understand in the CC which graph is the correct one. I only have one user role and look at the graphs that CC reports:

Looking at the command line output:

system diagnostics utilities bandwidth-monitor

it reports like "bandwidth graph". I have a 100Mb at home and I never reach more than 8 Mb behind XG. Yes I know about IPS, Web Proxy and Anti-malware scanning but graphs are not reporting correct information at all. This is the feeling I have.

What about other guys on Community?

Regards

Hi, 

I'm Val, I'm a newbie here. I have notice in  Control Center that when my bandwidth becomes 1.5MB, my internet becomes slow, and when I tried to Ping for example google.com, the latency is reaching up to 200ms to 300ms plus.

Hi and welcome,

please check the results in the IPS tab on the main menu to see which one is blocking your downloads. You can disable the offending IPS rule.

Hi rfcat_vk,

Do you mean IPS Policies?

Sounds like you have a 10-12mbps connection. 1.5MB x 8 = 12mbps

Hi, 

Is that the standard computation for bandwidth in CC?

So it means that we are currently using that bandwidth. sometimes it is reaching 2.5mb x 8 = 20mbps? which will really cause our internet speed to becomes slow. 

I have SOphos XG125, but it is only in bridgemode.
