Internet Speed Test
Tinman57:
You have to select the closest test site for the test, and other sites as well. Plus I use different bandwidth-test websites. Sometimes I'll get lower results from one site than the other, depending on the bottleneck of the site at that time.....

The new speeds I'm paying for are 20Mb down and 1Mb up. But testmy.net frequently tells me I'm getting between 8-13Mb down and about 0.65Mb up. Or in other words, about 50-65% of what I'm paying for.. Yet SpeedTest.net says 19Mb down and 0.8Mb up.-Deozaan (August 10, 2013, 01:41 AM)

My connection is supposed to be 20mb down and 1mb up.
There is a problem with the cable from the street up to the house so I only get 2mbps down and no idea with up.
Yet, speedtest.net says 19mb down and 0.96 up.
Something is awry :-)

Some speed test sites you may want to try:

-sorry, but I really don't trust that "internetfrog" speed test; it's Uniblue!
and they said my download speed was a third of what it actually is! :down:

Like I said before, it all depends on the bottleneck between you and the test site and other factors, which is why your supposed to use more than one tester and more than one test server. Only thing I don't like about internetfrog is you can't select a test server. I have no idea what Uniblue is. :tellme:
