The one and only reason Ookla is even remotely available on the net today, is the simple fact first of all, they have the ISP insiders market flooded. Who else knowing, would harbor a flash base script within their internal network, unless the ends outweighed the means, or likelihood of an infiltration. If your confident enough to allow this thing to live within your public network, than obviously you've got said network protected. Fair enough right? That type of ISP network protection would likely come at the cost of the consumer. If for no other reason than isolation, which is the complete antithesis of the meaning to testing throughput across networks, that at the very least represents what the intentions are for the masses taking the test. Secondly the ISP know well the entire idea of a test being run on any high level network, is useless and nothing more than a 'feel good' item. These tests of Ookla, should be completely isolated on a per ISP level, if they must be used at all. Of course they are useful for tech to determine if there is or not an issue between modem/ head end (or wherever these flash tests are living). No?

It doesn't... at all. Because you don't have an issue anymore. But can you trust the alternative now? You saw yourself that they reported you at full speed. ...Your speed at TestMy didn't magically change when you changed your modem. You were having an issue and you most likely weren't getting your full speed, whether you noticed it or not. The fact that your speed improved here after changing a hardware component clearly displays a difference between the two sites. I never say that I'm better than any other speed test. I only present the facts and I let my visitors make their own decision. p.s. I forgot to say before... my "agenda" is to improve the Internet.

speedtest doesn't usually pull accurate numbers for me.. take now for instance i'm having pretty big local issues here modem keeps dropping out, signals are bad. so when i test at speedtest its as though nothing at all is wrong.. look if i go by that then i'd never know anything is wrong with my connection. but the ISPs can't fool me... i'm going to keep having them come out and look into my issue forcing them to spend thousands until they fix it and give me what i'm paying $89.99 a month for, a good company wants a happy customer and i will be one when they fix my problems which they are trying to do if i test to testmy.net or any other speedtest site that does not use flash i see results like as you can see speedtest isn't even close. even if i test to a server over 1400 miles away on speedtest its still showing incorrect results
