so lastnight i was tweaking again... i know >.< i'm a tweaker... haha

i got this result after playing with the test sizes from the new DC server.



i think everything i have locally is functioning exactly how i want it.. also that was over wifi mind you


today during more peak hours i still got



thats not to shabby if i do say so myself

I tried.. but I can't beat you.



I seem to get better speeds to D.C. too.  Here's the default server...



So funny because we're all the way in AZ, D.C. is like twice as far away than the TX server.  Proves that you don't have to test on a server 50 miles from you --- because this is the EXACT same system on both servers.

... I'm going to make it so you can tell what server the test was taken on in the share image...

There we go... now people can tell the difference right in the image... this also now shows all the other identifiers as well.

Here's some from my recent collection...

How is it that test results can be that much over the modem boot file ? Might have to use a larger test file.

The DC server is most definitively acting different from Dallas.

well to be honest we don't know exactly what cox provisions the 50Mbit modems at anyways, we do know they provision higher then 50Mbps though

There could be a soft limit of 50 and a hard limit in network congestion, but 20 Mb over is a stretch .

very true it was nice while it lasted but 50Mbps over 100MB from 2500 miles away is win imo

By all means .

I'm still working on figuring why the Dallas server gives me a 2.9 Mbps result. Although it is refreshing to see that the system here can max out at DC , it's been perplexing me for nearly two years, two different ISP's in two different locations regionally. Not to mention the dozens of clients I've tested with.

I don't believe it has anything to do with tmn , more like a major backbone DPI / QOS config issue.
