Hi Sean,
 
I made some adjustments, when you enable "Linear Load" it will modify the Upload page to direct you to the legacy upload test.
 
This doesn't work with combined test, using combined test with linear load under the beta will still load the new version.
 
I hope to develop the linear upload test to work with the new graphs but I'm not sure if it's possible yet.  It's pretty tricky.  Porting the download test over was simple.  The problem has to do with a limitation of a certain browser API.  
 
The current version will remain available, I have no plans to get rid of that.  If I can't get it to work exactly the way I want... then I'll just integrate the old version, minus the extra graphing on the upload.

Here's a photo I took yesterday.
 
We had 77% coverage where I'm at.
 

 
A Sun spot made it look kinda like Pac Man for a little bit.  (the sun spot was visible in other photos so I know it wasn't an artifact)

You can just minimize the browser or have it running in a different browser tab and just ignore it.
 
 
I see what you're saying, it would be cool to have it in the tray, running as a task.
 
I'm heavy in the belief that web applications will be the future of nearly all applications.  I've always geared TestMy.net toward a 100% browser experience.  
 
The new version of TestMy.net is a full PWA.  Taking advantage of many new browser features, 100% adopted by all major browsers at this point.  In the next versions of Chrome you will be able to install TestMy.net and have it run and behave as a normal desktop application.  You can also add it to your mobile device and have a more app like feel.  It's much faster and offers offline capabilities.  For instance enabling auto resume for the automatic speed test, a feature I've always been looking to add.
 
Testing time is near.
 
The new functionality coming to developers in browsers ... is blurring the lines between native and web applications.  I imagine it's only the beginning.  The progression at the browser level is ramping up quickly.  Browsers are implementing cutting edge features at an astonishing rate and it's feeling like ALL of them are agreeing to standards for once.  I've been developing for the internet since the beginning, never seen this kind of progress.
 
I've never developed for iOS, Android, Desktop etc.  Now and especially in the future ONE web application can branch across all of those platforms.  Especially when you're a single developer... it can be hard to manage even 1 code base.
 
So I hope that in the future it's just part of the way TestMy.net works... using the latest tools I have available.    
 
Hopefully you'll see by minimizing it... you can run it that way for over a year.  

Re TestMy.net Automatic Speed Test
 
 
Hi Dean,
  Just close it.  If it's not running in your browser... it's not running.  If you minimized it when you started find it and close it, or close your browser completely and re-open it.   To save bandwidth you can specify the test size (force it to start right at the correct size), tell it to test less frequently or turn it on for only a certain number of cycles.   The test was never intended to run constantly.  I think that some people feel like you're supposed to run it all the time... I'm not here to waste your bandwidth, or my own.  I have to pay for bandwidth too and TMN can burn through Terabytes in a single day.  I encourage you to use it as much as you need but I also encourage you to only use it as much as you need.   Thank you for your patronage and support.  If you like what I'm building help me by spreading the word.   - Damon - TestMy.net

I'm new to the forum and want to know if it's possible to download the results of the average speed tests by isps in different countries. (And what the timeframe is for the oldest to newest results and any latency)
 
I also want to know if all the average data collected is from tests run on this site only (no 3rd party data imports) to maintain the validity of the results.

According to hosts who've contacted me, there's an option for them to "adjust the drop off".  So they can cut off the top and bottom portions and shape the result to suit the narrative they want to paint.  I know this because they were asking me if I had those options!  Not just one or two by the way.  And they've stated that these options only exist on the higher level licenses.  So basically, if you pay them enough.  Exactly what you eluded to.
 
More reason why an unbiased third party opinion from TestMy.net is necessary.  All connections are tested under the same internal variables.  Any variable that can be controlled is controlled by YOU, the client... not your ISP.

Where are you seeing this?
 
I do need to redesign the ranking to be more user friendly.  Definitely can be done better.
 
Here's the ranking, after filtering out some of the less popular locales.  I manually do a minimum test count of 45100 because every day the host database tables that the host averages are calculated from are trimmed, to 45000.  This isn't the right way to do this because it's dependent on the time of day. 
 
I have some additional logic I'm adding to that.  Where that part of the program will be made aware of the actual recent popularity.  It will default to filtering out the less popular locations to build a better list.
 
Sorting by download speed
https://testmy.net/rank/countrycode.down/45100
 
 
Sorting by upload speed
https://testmy.net/rank/countrycode.up/45100

 
It will look different using the defaults.  It also may have been different when you looked, because of the time of day.  The tables might have just trimmed and then it happened that a bunch of tests were taking place in the locations you mentioned above.  That tool was designed before I started trimming those tables.  It was easier to sort them by popularity before they started being trimmed... after time the majority of the tables are over 45K rows making that variable unreliable.
 
Going way beyond the topic...
 
Keep in mind, I built TestMy.net with really no prior programming knowledge... starting in 1996 before it was even TestMy.net.  I then dropped out of high school in 1999, the useless information and repetition... I learn way more, much faster by DOING so I decided to focus on that.   Building this taught me and I'm always learning.  I've definitely made a lot of programming mistakes but they've all lead to a better understanding and better future designs. 
 
 
I'm a lone wolf programmer.  All of the frontend, all of the backend.  I even built the physical servers and infrastructure by hand.
 
BTW, I was like 1 or 2 credits from graduating.  Didn't really want their paper.  What does it prove?  Got hired at one of the largest telecommunication giants, quit school the next day.  Worked for them for 5 years.  Working my way up from the warehouse, within 1 year my pay increased over 6X.  That company was good to me but TestMy.net was calling, I've pursued it full time ever since.
 
Side note, if anyone actually reads this: That company had a strict policy and would have fired me if they knew I didn't have at least a GED.  No matter what my performance was in the company.  People high up (like extremely high up) told me it would be an open shut case and to keep quiet about it, "Just go get your GED dude!".  Some told me it wouldn't matter even if I got it because I should have never been hired in the first place. That attitude was actually the reason I left them.  With my own company nobody could hang anything over my head.  Yes, I probably could have just got a GED.  But why?  I don't want that.  They assumed I graduated because I had college credits, never lied to them.  Thankfully it never became an issue and I resigned on top.  Great company, they taught me a lot too.

they won't . not in SEA asia sure. ALL of their ISPs seem to use Speedtest dot net as a standard. and they're obviously bribing  Speedtest to get the results they want.
but AFAIK speedtests to USA servers are still kind of accurate... as in they're definitely much lower than the expected  100 mbps for me. i'm suppose to get 500 mbps but i am limited by hardware and USA bandwidth that is very obviously throttled.

I have fixed the SChannel errors.
 
I started with unchecking all of these in Internet Options/Advanced.
SSL 2.0
SSL 3.0
TLS 1.0
TLS 1.1
TLS 1.2
This worked to fix the error but my email images were now all the small black box with a X inside.
Not what I wanted.
So I checked them one at a time & tested with a reboot in between.
All need to be checked.
But that is not all.
I had to go into the Registry & change the settings.
This made the settings permanent.
This is the registry location.
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\ControlSet002\Control\SecurityProviders\SCHANNEL\Protocols
 
Two days now & NO SChannel; errors.
 
This could make my OS less secure.
I use Avast email scanner & I do not use IE or Edge.
So I believe I"m OK
 

Today my 24 hour @15minute intervals (100x) test stopped when my public IP changed...
How does the test avoid stoppages for CGNAT users ??

There’s an Export button under the plots on the Results page

Hi Ca3le,
 
The reason why I am asking is that I have been looking for an app or SW for poor network connection testing on the train. Quite often data connection on trains is not perfect and our start-up has developed a solution to improve the data connection. In order to be able to do a benchmark test, we would need a testing solution with 1 minute test interval. What is your opinion, could Testmy.net be used in this kind of test scenario?
 

All this would do would eat significantly more bandwidth...  5 min. minimum is pretty generous imo; 

I am currently testing a hugely expensive router against an old router. I have 2 SIMS, a 3 network and a Vodafone. I'm trying to find out which sim is fastest and on which router. But not sure how to separate out the results I get by the router used. Does anyone know how to do this?

Happy Testing!

Welcome!
 
If you go to My Settings you can add an identifier. 
 

 
Select something like "Location 1" when you're connected to router #1... then "Location 2" for the second.  You can then filter your results by identifier under My Results.
 
Let me know if this helps.

I'll try that out tonight thanks

I have some new tools coming out!  And I mean NEW!
 
If you'd like to get an invite when a new Beta is available simply vote on this topic.
 
Currently no ETA but development is moving quickly.
 
I'd like people who are willing to provide feedback but it's not necessary.  Just running the program will give me a lot of useful information.

Hello, 

I made a profile here simply so I could ask if the site is just having issues or what. 
I normally use this site to test out different ethernet drivers for pcs and then to see if I am having any issues with my provider. 
My upload test is perfectly fine multi threaded. My download single thread is fine 500 download. 20 upload. 
But when I start a multi threaded download test it just gets stuck. 
Why would that be? 
Also it doesnt matter where I go location wise. 
I have not changed any drivers or service. 
I am using that same service to make this post so its not like its "Down" and sites like speedtest.net work fine as well. 

Dankeschon,

Talon

Wel that was fast , gonna try out right now

I like it. Both are good. After a lot of testing and tweaking I've got the maximum speed out of my connection: about 10% more than the plan (a $10/month one) is supposed to supply. testmy.net was a big help. It might be slow for a lot of people, but it suits my needs. Thanks

Oh man! You're really going to love what I'm brewing. Right up your alley!!
