    You can mouse over any displayed speed to have it converted into MB/s.
     
     
    Soon there will later be an advanced option to have your account display in MB/s by default if you'd like.

    What makes you think I'm sharing your data with companies?
     
    The latest version doesn't share your information any more than the old version.
     
    The only new privacy thing is consent management.  This is to meet EU's GDPR because TMN uses cookies.  Some cookies are used for personalized are.  But that's not new... what's new is that I'm telling you up front and giving you the option to opt out.
     
    TMN is and will always be on your side and work with your best interest in mind.  I do not sell or disclose any personal information and am completely a 3rd party with no affiliation with any other companies.

    My friend Eric did the music for this one... great track bro.
     
    I'm proxied into a connection in the EU (GB to be exact, where you are) for this demonstration.
     
     
    Notice that as soon as you hit "choices" it deselects everything.
     
    Only users in the EU get this notice.  In the US, I never see this.  The way it previously worked for you was how it still works for the majority of users here today, it creates the cookies and doesn't bug you.  The EU created these guidelines, I'm just one of the few sites adhering to the law... I guess.  I'd think you be used to seeing these kinds of popup's all over the place.  Don't you?  ...the EU made the rule, I'm just trying my best to be legit around the world.
     
    TMN is still the same site you've grown to love.  And I have no plan of changing that aspect.
    Cheers!  
     
    By the way... notice the "privacy reminder" from Google at the beginning of that video.  This is the same thing.  And you still use Google, right?

    @CA3LE  I like having the dark mode option. Thanks. 
     
    I noticed that on the Results page, the Light/Dark selector link at the bottom of the page isn’t there. It’s there on the Download and Upload pages. 
     
    The date range selector on the Results is pretty cool too. The downside is when you want to display say 6 months of results, you have to scroll the calendar when you used to be able to just enter a number of days. Not sure if you can come up with an easy way to allow the user to just enter the number of days.

    Pgoodwin1 reacted to CA3LE in Hourly speed averages graph question   
    By default it's showing you everything logged under your username, aggregated into hourly averages.  If you select 'Date Range' you can query specific days or a range of days.
     
     
    Let me know if this helps.

    Pgoodwin1 reacted to Big Beef in What am I testing?   
    EDIT: (When I posted this it appeared under the name Big Beef and not Pahoo. Big Beef was another old nickname I had so now I’m confused ??‍♂️ if I created 2 accounts⁉️ I’m supposed to be Pahoo Katawah.)
     
    This site has allowed me to document the incredibly poor service I’ve been receiving and the ISP responded by confirming it and said they need to do pole work. They’ve called the police to arrange a day/time and I’m waiting to hear back about it.
     I pay for 400 Mbps down but receive between 50 and 150 (see my testing results). If I pay for 100 Mbps I save $10/month! I’m just going to keep pushing them, which is why I spend my time running and sending test results instead of getting in here to the forum ☹️ ?‼️

    Hi Ron525, thank you for being a long time member!  And thank you for taking the time.
     
    After looking closer at your results it appears that you're on an older version of firefox.
     

     
    You're on 56.0 ... We're on like --- 67 now.
     
    So update firefox.  But that's not it.  That's not how I roll. 
     
    ...THANK YOU!  I program for this.  I'll adjust my rule for that function so that it works in your browser too... it's really easy but I'll have to do it tomorrow because I'm wrapping my night up.  Basically, I'll tell it to use the old method in your instance because it's failsafe, we know it works.  I literally just have to adjust the version number of firefox that it will accept for that function.  Because I know that some of its methods are dependent on browser functionality released after a certain date.  My research on those functions start dates must have been a little off OR your browser is literally on the EDGE of when that functionality that's needed to make that work properly was introduced. 
     
    At any rate, I'll make sure to make that work properly under all circumstances.  This is why your input is so valuable to me.  I'd need a million computers to test a fraction of the circumstances you guys can do in one week.  I'm not kidding.  I can't do this without you guys.
     
    Again, thank you for taking your time, you're making TMN better.

    I logged in yesterday to find a new format, I did an upload test first but no results it just went back to the test my upload speed page.
    I have tried a few more times but still nothing, also none of the tests are showing in my logged results either.
    The download tests work okay with the graph showing after the test and are showing in my logged results as well.
     
    Edit; Have just used the old version and upload is working as it should be.

    ... you should see my email.  I have dozens, maybe hundreds of these.  I usually just ignore them.  When I do respond, they never respond back.
     
    This is a quick search of my inbox for "internet slow" ... these are recent, within the last month.  And this is only the ones caught by those specific keywords.  lol
     

     
    Gotta love this one...
    "I want my internet fixed it's slow!"  -- talk about shooting the messenger.  Often they're far more rude than that.

    I don't know why some people always think that I have some control over their speed.  If I did, everyone would be at least as fast as I am! 
     
    I also get angry people wanting me to fix their bills.  Again, if I had control over that, your bill would be $0.

    Please keep in mind, TestMy.net is a third party speed test and is not affiliated with your ISP.  We're here to help you. 
     
    Just like you I'm an average consumer.  When I was 15 in 1996 I wanted to see how fast my internet speed was and I couldn't find a proper tool so I started to build what would become TestMy.net in 2002.  I build TestMy.net so that people like us have a testing platform outside of ISP control.
     
    I'm sorry you're having ongoing issues with Hughes, it's a common theme around here.  I rarely meet any satellite user who's truly happy.  I assume where you live you have little options, right?  Can you get a 4G connection yet?  Maybe with the right equipment a cell connection might help.  How much data are you transferring monthly?

    They get a bad rap, but I've had them for 20 years and have only had 1 problem with "regular" service. That was 6-7 years ago they were doing line work in our neighborhood and my speed dropped for a few hours then went out for 30 minutes.
    Even with storms they've been incredibly reliable. We live on the Southwest Gulf coast of Florida very close to the water. After Hurricane Charlie in 2004, Wilma 2005 and Irma 2017, internet was never down or was back on within a day.
    With a 10 year old, 13 year old, myself and my wife using a 4K LED smart TV, 3 flat screen 1080p LCD TVs, 2 Kindles, 3 Android phones, 1 iPhone, Xbox 360, Xbox One, 2 gaming PCs and who knows what else, the 1 terabyte a month data allotment has been gone over a few times. In my opinion they need to bump that up a little since I believe my situation is becoming more common. I had never thought about it before I bought one, but a 4K 65" LED Smart TV eats quite a bit of bandwidth.
     
    And remember, FIGHT TO REINSTATE NET NEUTRALITY!!!
