Thanks for clarifying that. After experimenting with HTTPS testing on my mobile with the multi-threaded test, I was able to replicate a similar test result by turning on "Data Saver" in the Android Chrome browser. Data Saver - Left: Off, Right: On As far as I can tell, the Data Saver strips comment tags from webpages, so in turn strips all the random test data. So maybe an idea to test if Data Saver is on is to have something like a piece of JavaScript check if a certain HTML comment tag is present in the page source. If it's missing, display an error message saying to disable Data Saver.

Actually the way the program is written it's forced to use http. I just double checked to make sure... it's hard coded with "http://". I'm unsure why he got such a high result but it definitely wasn't because of https. You can request the multithread test under the https protocol but the actual data loading within the test is http. https://testmy.net/compID/845982730431 They tested moments later on their computer and got the result we'd expect. Seems it may have been something on that android... maybe some kind of mobile acceleration software... ????

So far I haven't heard back from my work colleague and am sure he is wondering why I keep asking him to run more and more tests on his connection. However, by looking at previous results of his user ID, I got the previous multi-threaded test I ran a few weeks ago and it had a 51MB block. That was the one I remember that made it difficult to speak to him over VoIP until the test completed. The following is a better example from the Three mobile network on 4G, where I chose two equal size blocks for both up and down - http vs port 8080: My workplace connection does not discriminate between http and port 8080. There was no one else in at the time, so had the connection to myself:

Well, now isn't that something. Tricky tricky. That's pretty definitive proof. Really the only other probable way you could get a result that dramatic when you keep the variables that level is if you purposely throttled back your own connection. And if they're doing it, you know that others do as well. We need more proof across a wider demographic. I'm creating an addition per another users suggestion that just came in. I think it will work great to build groups of users that want to build a claim like this. I also need to build in a way to quickly differentiate the port 8080 and https tests in the results. Purposely allowing ports that they know speedtest/ookla uses to be faster and throttling back others. What a joke. Has to be borderline illegal in some way, right? I really hope that more people start finding TMN so they can know the real deal. Thank you for continued support. I really appreciate your comparisons and suggestions to help detect this scam deeper, you're making TMN a better tool.
