i run this test using the following link every week; testmy.net/auto?extraID=A&schType=&st=1&r_time=1&xtimes=12&minDFS=40&minUFS=2 how can i force it to always test to the Washington DC server. even when i'm logged in and with your cookies intact, testmy.net keeps reverting me back down to Dallas TX, which is annoying as all hell as my results go haywire.

If there is a maximum test cycle, the only reason I can think not to have a 15 minute interval might be encroaching on flood control. You set this for a reason.

Thanks for the reply. I thought shaperprobe was linear, but i actually couldnt tell as it didnt show any data being transferred under the TCP connections in resource manager. I actually did read all that stuff, and im a programmer, just not super familiar with networking. Im just trying to figure out why all of a sudden within the last 2 weeks I can barely stream. Comcast keeps saying everything is ok, ive tried 3 different modems, router or no router, wireless and wired, different computers and i cant figure anything out. Sometimes everything is good, sometimes i dc every 30 seconds. I thought for sure it was a wireless issue, but when i dragged out all the cat5 cables and put them all around my house and hooked up my gaming pc nothing changed. i was able to stream on wireless without a problem for months, with half the upload speed that i have now. Anyways, I changed the server to the alt cdn one and now im getting results that I can believe to be reasonably accurate. Like 60mps down out of 100. I can believe that since I think there is a problem with my connection (i know there is a problem with my connection actually just not what) and the linear makes it slower. Plus i pointed speedtest.net to like other servers in dallas and got numbers not too differing. That I really dont understand. Why would my numbers drop off so much going from a server right by me to a server in dallas? Bandwidth isnt a function of distance afaik.... What does that indicate? It was just kinda shocking at first to be like running tests and see literally 10mpbs here and 120 on speedtest.net (connected directly to modem, router is only 100mpbs). That was with my old computer though. So I apologize for that. I just want to know wtf is wrong with my connection so I can tell my ISP, because they just tell me everything is fine. It shouldnt be MTU or whatever because everything was working with all the same stuff in my house and then just stopped working fine out of the blue, but i downloaded TCPoptimizer or whatever it is and ran that. So it seems like at my absolute max that ive gotten here I get about 60% up/down of what im supposed to be getting, and what my isps tool would report. What can cause that? Im at my wits end here its going on like 3 weeks of me trying to troubleshoot this. thanks.

Hi TBath652, When testing 30 minutes or less, tests have a maximum of 25 cycles. Thanks
