Does anyone else experience Sky traffic shaping SSH

7 pointsmrmattyboy3 comments

I have a rubbish internet connection (comes free with my rent), and get around 1-1.5MB/s normally, provided by Sky (UK).

However, SSH connections are incredibly slow, slow SSH reponsiveness, and scps/git clones over SSH get around 50KB/s.

Does anyone else experience this?

Does SSH over a nonstandard port improve speed? If you don't have a host set up like that you can try it with GitHub: https://help.github.com/articles/using-ssh-over-the-https-po...

Hmm, that's a good idea, however, I generally use port 222 for a particular server, which I have noticed any improvements at all. But thanks for the suggestion! :D

It would be very useful if you tried this, i'd lvoe to know
