how's that for symmetric? 😆

i forgot when i found TestMyNet, probably before 2011? anyways i went looking for other speedtesting websites exactly because i heard ISPs around the world and in my country(singapore) are literally bribing Speedtest dot net to give their consumers/clients faked results. the only other consisent way i could to check my IRL download speed was to torrent large files, then check the avg download speeds, but that way is impossible to pinpoint slowdowns due to country-to-country throttling(which supposedly my ISP is also hiding /covering up), torrent sources come from all over the world(mostly USA it seems).

Pope Francis might be checking the Internet speed at his new digs. Holy See - Vatican City State Speed Test Results - Vatican needs a fiber drop.

Over the decades I've always strived to have the fastest servers I can afford to host TestMy.net. My journey with hosting has taken me into a colocated datacenter where I pay for cabinet space, power & internet connection and bring in my own equipment. When I first started using colo I built everything out with brand new, current generation servers and networking gear. Over the years I added servers and built up a High Availability Proxmox cluster. Adding servers I found that eBay was definitely my friend. Now I could afford servers that only a few years earlier often went for nearly 10X what I was able to get them for "off lease". Each time I added a new server, it was more powerful than the previous. Over this time I'm adding more resources, things are getting faster. Even my first servers were full solid state, employing arrays of 4 Samsung 850 Pro SSDs. But things really started flying with the advent of Optane storage. A game changer... really, it was too good. (and now it's gone.) Fast forward to 2024. I get a generous donation of servers, the person doesn't care what I do with them, they're just happy to give them to me. They're newer than my servers, 2nd version into the next generation of CPU. So quite a bit newer. I get one of them setup with the same Optane storage I run in my current master server and start benchmarking. It's not really faster and doesn't justify switching servers. Sometimes it was slower. I assume because my servers are higher clock speed, highest end of the CPU SKU. Scratching my head, I really thought being so much newer I'd get a much better result. I take the storage out and pop it in a gaming rig... another machine recently donated to me by a friend. This PC happens to have hardware from the same year as the server I just tested. I run the same tests and had to do a double take. Not only was it faster on the gaming rig, it was WAY faster. This made me reimagine my server topology. Maybe it was time to build with consumer hardware. Here I had a setup that was a fraction of the cost that was out performing in real world scenarios. The better single thread performance and higher clock speed, faster memory... it all makes sense. There's more competition in the consumer market, things cost less. So I sold those servers to someone who can better utilize their resources. Extremely nice servers but for my use case here, they had too much of everything. As soon as they were sold I ordered parts for my next build. Promptly put it together and got to testing. Minimum, 2.5x faster at everything. Average is 3x faster and in some cases I've seen over 6x faster. It has completely blown me away. What is the magical setup? Nothing much really, minus storage I think it cost my about $900, including a piKVM setup to remotely control the machine. Much less than any of my used enterprise servers cost me. Here's my build. AMD Ryzen 7 9700X 8-Core, 16-Thread Unlocked Desktop Processor G.SKILL Ripjaws S5 Series (Intel XMP 3.0) DDR5 RAM 64GB (2x32GB) 5600MT/s CL28-34-34-89 Optane 905p (zpool) and Samsung 960 Pro (OS) ASUS Prime B650-PLUS WiFi ID-COOLING IS-40-XT Black - 47mm Height Low Profile CPU Cooler EVGA 750 BP, 80+ Bronze 750W PSU Rosewill 2U Server Chassis RSV-Z2900U BTF-LIGHTING WS2812B 2PCs 19in Individually Addressable 2GB Raspberry pi4 Geekworm KVM-A8 (kit for building a piKVM) 10G network card It's only a 65 watt TDP CPU! very easy to cool in a constrained (or SFF) build like this. A single half dollar sized CPU out performs all of my dual Xeon systems. Yes, I can't run a terabyte of RAM with this setup but I don't need to. My current systems are 128GB, I figure I only really really need 64GB with this CPU backing the system. Especially in single thread performance the new Ryzen system blows all my other systems away. This type of gain will be felt everywhere, especially in mysql queries and responsiveness. It still excels in multithread and even has a larger cache than my Xeons. It really wins for me on every level. And yes, RGB was a requirement. I never put RGB in a computer, not really my thing. But I figure this is a gaming PC at its core so for $13, why not. I can control them in linux but it adds a bunch of unnecessary packages, I like my base PVE to be as simple as possible. So default rainbow it is. lambo-2025-lq2.mp4 I haven't been necessarily doing it wrong all these years. Without the low TDP and high performance of the 9700X this build would be more challenging. These are recent developments. There's basically zero redundancy in this server. So, it also helps having a PVE cluster that has a bunch of reliable machines, to back up this consumer grade hardware. I can't wait to bring Lambo into production!

To Administrator, When I signed in to run a speed test, I almost got hooked on a installation of a program that at first I thought was from you all, I did not allow the installation and ran my speed test. Afterwords, I tried to create a message to Cable to ask him if he was aware of this other Quick Speed test that was coming up when I hit run combined tests. I get a pop up stating I cannot create more than 0 messages. Whats up? localpeon 1, Paul You have me home email address. Thank You.

I was thinking maybe you had paired them to that work phone before. Never mind. This is part of Apple's Find My network, which allows devices and accessories to be tracked even when they are not connected to the internet. How to disable notifications: If you're the owner: You can turn off separation alerts in the Find My app by going to Devices, then tapping the name of your AirPods, and then turning off "Notify When Left Behind". If you're not the owner: You can't disable the notifications, but you can ignore them. I was thinking, are they doing this while the Airpods are still near your phone? Does "Notify When Left Behind" only work when the owners phone isn't nearby? No, "Notify When Left Behind" in Find My doesn't only work when the owner's phone is out of range; it triggers a notification when a device sharing its location separates from the item you've set an alert for, even if the owner's phone is nearby. The notification is triggered by the separation of the device sharing its location from the item, not by the distance to the owner's phone. You can also set up "Trusted Locations" where you won't receive alerts, allowing you to leave an item behind without getting a notification. So what I might do is either completely disable the function if you have privacy concerns or set it up with trusted locations. I think there should be an option to have this only enabled when the owner's phone is out of range. If I'm nearby... then I most likely haven't lost them. Right?

Hey that's amazing thanks for getting back to me - did you make any progress with the beta? I have a little script that tests on the command line using ping but would love one that uses your latency measure instead thanks!

Well said. TestMy.net started in 2001... but my first internet speed test became popular in 1996, on accident. Was pretty crazy trying to run it early on, not knowing anything. No real tools to even learn online yet either. I hope one day more people find TestMy.net again. I'll just keep building.

If you see the reference value, you're well within the spec. Between -27 and -8 dBm Those numbers look good to me.

lol Freudian Slip?

xs1, when you go to select server, click on multiserver at the bottom and only select the 2 fastest servers by you. Then do a manual 200mb test and retest it a few times. As for upload it doesn't multithread so you can test both servers individually on a 200mb manual test and see what one gives you the best speed. You are getting close.

The most common question that people ask us is why their results here differ from speedtest.net. I want to explain something that may help you understand why this is. According to the Ookla Wiki [updated link] the following is true about your tests taken at speedtest.net... The fastest 10% and slowest 30% of your results are DISCARDED The remaining data is averaged together to determine the final result Throwing away the fastest 10% and slowest 30% of the results in my opinion does not make for an accurate test. Isn't THAT the data that you're here to see? Also note this isn't only true for speedtest.net. Ookla is huge, most of the speed tests online run their software. Source: wiki.ookla.com Multithreading makes your connection look better Ookla speed tests are also multithreaded. Meaning that they open more than one connection to the host and combine the speeds. This often can mask congestion issues. For instance, imagine that you have a pipe along your route that's limiting you to 10 Mbps. If you open more than one connection through that pipe you'll be able to achieve a faster speed... but testing that way will not clue you in that there is actually a problem along the route. Remember, you shouldn't have to multithread your connection to pull your full speed. Multithreaded speed tests, like the majority out there, are designed to benefit the Internet provider not the consumer. They often display your maximum throughput not your throughput over the course of an entire upload or download. Omitting the worst portion of your test resulting in inflated scores that may make you feel warm and fuzzy but aren't going to help you see and resolve connection issues. Multithreading can show that you're able to max out your connection by combining the speed of concurrent connections but a great connection can max out without having to multithread. So, if you have to multithread your connection to get your full speed, you should be asking why that is. With TestMy.net it's instantly apparent if there is a congested route. Your speed here reflects the actual loading time of data within your browser... not the combined efforts of multiple threads being altered (dropping the top 10% and bottom 30% of the results) and added together, all through a plugin that isn't suited for the task. :: EDIT :: If you'd like to multithread with TMN, I offer that as well. Try the multithread speed test. TMN's multithread test gives you the option to select from an array of servers. Allowing you to test across multiple routes, to more than one server at a time. TestMy.net is the only Internet speed test with this ability. So THAT'S why your results differ. -- TestMy.net is a harder test to ace and a lot less forgiving than other speed tests. But isn't that what a benchmark should be? :: EDIT :: Another thing to consider is if you're running windows, particularly if it's older than Windows 7 you may need to tune your TCP stack to see your full speeds. Windows doesn't always come out of the box optimized for fast connections. Flash based speed tests fail to detect this problem. To make this change for free I recommend TCP Optimizer. This makes changing those settings very easy and nearly fool proof. Just open it, slide the bar over to your speed that you're supposed to have, check "modify all adapters" ...apply the settings and reboot. You should have faster speeds after your re-test if that was the problem. Here's an outside source talking about exactly this issue, I'll hunt down more examples. >> Download Speed Test - Something fishy? A few related topics :: Accuracy..
