iv been noticing that when i take the speed tests via testmy.net, then retry the same size test going thru vanburens website , the speeds differ.

3 tests on each.

Just now I tested faster everytime on the TestMy.net mirror

His test goes through the CGI-version (Perl Version) of my test because I have not written the affiliates portion of the script in PHP, the PHP version sould be more accurate because... well... it's written better (I know more about scripting now than I did when I wrote the base for the CGI version) --- and PHP is a much better language.

Don't ya think it's time to 'translate' those pages to PHP?

damnit.. why cant we just say "unno" and believe that my speeds are realy that 1337 =(

So you are admitting that the PHP version is more accurate?

[xs1]

no im admitting that i have a very mediocre cable conection, and you keep raining on my parade by telling me thoes scores arent accurate because of the language in which their written ¬_¬;

[RTB]

I suppose "less accurate" is the best description for the cgi tests. Inaccurate would mean CA3LE doesn't provide the most accurate speed test results, and that's an obvious lie

[VanBuren]

and remember no speedtest is 100% accurate, even tho Testmy.net is very close

that dosent mean that the fastest speedtest is the most accurate, i have a feeling alot of ppl think that.

My ISP speedtest is the most accurate i ever seen, but its not a "web" test, its a complete testprogram that measure your speed for 10 seconds upstream and downstream. Both in UDP and TCP.

That make the testfile size in my case around 1.2 MB/s x 10 = 12 MB

and for 100 Mbps connections 120 MB.

Those don't count. Now go cry in the corner.

Sure, but what do you think of this BFG? It's somewhat hurtier than your puny Shotgun.
