Love the site. Don't know if this is a bug or not...When I export to Excel, the time stamp in Excel is one hour behind the actual time stamp of the test, which is displayed correctly on the web page. Any idea how to fix this?

Thanks for bringing that to my attention.  I've corrected the issue... That script hadn't been updated to offset time automatically.  

Can you confirm the correction please?

The time is now correct. Thanks. However, I just wanted to point out a couple other things. The date is not displayed anymore. Only the time. Also, I was comparing the download result on the web page to the test score on the excel sheet, and the excel sheet's value is slightly higher (~200 kbps) on all points. These are not issues for what I will be using the data for, but I thought you would like to know. Thanks!

That was obviously a script that was in dire need of updates.  I made the necessary corrections and added some new functionality as well.  The speed test score now exports converted 4 ways.  Kbps, Mbps, kB/s and MB/s -- this should make it easier for anyone that may be exporting to make their own graphs... also why I leave the data raw like it is.  I also gave it the ability to transcribe the extra ID information. (I actually store that in the database as a number, not text... it saves space.  Those numbers now resolve.)

Please let me know if you see anything else that I might miss.  I'm just one guy, with the world as my debugger.  Thanks for the help!  

I always appreciate any input, thanks again.

I just noticed that the upload plots no longer reflect the actual numbers the test results report. The .csv file looks OK.  The download plots look OK. The upload plot looks like it's missing the last 3 data points in mine. It looks a lot like the plot above.




I noticed in the csv file that there are more download test data points than upload points - i.e. I ran download successive times. But it looks like the upload plot is shifted in time.The time stamp in the data file looks like the up and down pair time stamps are correct, but the plot doesn't match the data

The information is correct in the graph, it's being plotted as Mbps but shows in the details as Kbps, because it's under 1Mbps.  The numbers are correct though.

Yes. The values are correct, I only meant that the upload points aren't plotting at the right time value on the x axis.

I deleted the download data points where there wasn't an upload test point at the same time value and the plot now shows upload and download points at the same point on the X axis. This simply means that the X axis isn't really time.

Yeah, I'm kinda generically using the X axis... it's being used to display extra information instead of time.

That's cool. I didn't know that at first, but now that I do, it's not a big deal. Once I deleted out the orphan readings, it shows me what the simultaneous readings were. I just now always run the UP and Down.
