Damn, that sucks. Post up a pic of your bill where it says the date. I know it's lame but just pay the bill. They have the best Internet in your area, right? If you want to escalate the issue you may be able to get a credit for the inconvenience. But be nice... if you're not getting what you think you're due ask to talk to a manager. Still getting nowhere, send an email http://frontier.com/helpCenter/contact-us. If they are fair I'm sure they'll make it right, they shouldn't disconnect you 2 days early. That's BS.

Based on my experience using the Ookla Speedtest mobile app, the Android app can't be trusted! Have a look at the following two tests run on my mobile (OnePlus One): The following is the router's DSL status page which I ran both tests with: Notice the overinflated uplink result in the Speedtest app result vs. my DSL line speed. On my fixed wireless ISP connection, it underrates the downlink: As I don't have access to a status page showing what my Wireless ISP is limited at, I ran an FTP test right after the following tests completed: 3.4MB = 27.2Mbps, so it's obvious which result is more accurate. These are the results form a YouTube video I created showing these tests in action. Usually the Speedtest.net app reports about 50% above my actual uplink for any connection, but in this case it was out by over 3 times the link speed! Plus catching it in a screen recording made was even more exciting as I think I only ever seen it go that high once before.

Good explanation. I'm sure very few (if any) connections required a test block size approaching 100MB at that time, whereas now some some of the bigger towns are getting 1Gbps fibre. I'm only just learning MySQL and PHP. I see you fixed it. The result I posted on another forum now also shows '96kB'. I remember a few years ago I tried reporting a bug to Ookla about its Speedtest app reporting faster uplink speeds 2 to 3 times faster than my DSL's physical link speed and they came back asking me to run more tests with other servers to confirm its not a problem with my Internet connection. Obviously if the test result is reporting faster than the physical link speed, it's not an ISP issue.

Hi editorsean! Thank you for pointing that out. What you're seeing is a long standing quirk... a bug but it's funny why it's there. The original design of the database was not well thought out. Instead of doing it over an accepting that I did it wrong the first time I instead wrote around the issues. One of the issues was that the field for test size was originally stored in kB... but the saved information was only allowed to be 5 characters long. So to express anything over 99,999 kB was impossible. Altering the massive database was not an option at the time, it would have required too much downtime. I also didn't want anyone to lose their results. So I started storing by MB in some instances and by kB in others. So 200 MB will save as "200" -- 400 kB saves as "400" 50 MB is saved as "51200". The newer databases are correctly storing the data by kB but they're largely behind the scenes right now. Eventually it won't have to store in tricky ways. ...When the TMN database (mySQL driven) was first started I had absolutely no knowledge of databasing... I'm sure I still do it the wrong way but it's working on a large scale and takes little resources so I can't complain. Keep learning and keep improving.

Time Warner Cable rolled out TWC MAXX to my area as I believe Google Fiber is launching here soon as well, so they need to compete. Finally I got the upgrade and got the new modem that supports all the channels. Was only getting 100mbps previously however, after going to the TWC Store and swapping out the modem, I get the free 300 mbps upgrade! Check out my speeds below, however no improvement in latency times or gaming-(this is just one test, for some reason theres ALOT of variance, due to cable?) Free upgrade in speed, same price per month. I now TWC, $59.99/mo This is huge advantage now though, going from a residential 50mbps connection (thinking that was insanely fast). I can now download 60 GB in about 45 mins - 1 hour depending on the source host! The internet is really slowly starting to become a better place. Anyone else with Time Warner got the upgrade yet? I know all my neighbors and several co-workers of mine have also gotten this upgrade. All the best, Anox195
