Well... your upload is all of those numbers -- you're seeing how the browser choice effects upload speed to websites. I recommend that you test with the browser that provides the fastest result. The fastest result is going to be closest to your actual speed... the slower speeds are being caused by browser inefficiency. As you've just displayed this isn't only a Internet speed test... it's also a great way to benchmark performance between browsers. --- other speed tests out there don't work this way because the plugins that they use bypass much of the browser... imagine that a flash or java speed test is actually a program within a program. Truly, you're running the test through Flash or java protocol, not really the browser. The browser in that instance is merely a frame holding the third party program... that in turn can cause the test to miss MANY common issues that slow down your browsing experience. What I show you is the speed at which things load in your browser. I could have made it a thousand different ways but my thought was that the average Internet user is spending their time in the browser. Also, testing outside of the browser requires either a program running outside of the browser, Flash or Java. Flash... is faulty, Java inconveniences people who don't have it and so does downloading and installing programs..... so I built mine with PHP and HTML5 so that people could just load the site and do what they came to do without frustration. I aim for 100% compatibility with a single program. Others do it differently... all I know is that time and time again TestMy.net passively detects physical issues that others fail to pick up on. Some of the things I've seen and heard it do have amazed and baffled me... and I wrote the program! I don't get how it does it sometimes but it does. The forums here are littered with accounts. I also know this, if everything is in order and running correctly... you'll max your connection out here. TestMy.net is just a much harder test to ace but isn't that what a benchmark should be?
