Uploading at 90KB/sec speedtest says I should be able to do 1Mbps. Running Ubuntu 16.04 and my Belkin Modem has the latest firm ware. I changed from wireless and plugged in a cable to the modem it did not change the upload speed. I would appreciate any hearing any ideas on what I could do about this.
Depends on where you are uploading to. You won't necessarily see the same speeds as you are connecting to different servers for the speedtest and wherever you are uploading to
Have you always seen these speeds or has it dropped from what it used to be? You might check your router to see if there is any bandwidth throttling/limiting in effect
Nothing obvious on the router firmware is up to date. This the first time I tried to load 10 GB and it looks like it will take another 15 hours at this rate.
/home/jo
would that be the mount point? Thanks for your patience with a newbie to Ubuntu and Linux.
If rsync can connect to pCloud severs it still doesn't tell me where the bottleneck is with upload speed.
Assuming "jo" is your username on your computer, that would be your local home folder. Maybe you have a subdirectory in /home called /pCloud or something similar? I am not familiar with pCloud, but it seems to be basically any other cloud storage service which should allow you to rsync.
You are correct in that it won't find the bottleneck, but you may get faster transfer speeds
