  1. Thanks for this. I have applied your suggestion with pretty good results (and at least one failure that I noticed) over several days. I used 6mb down and 2mb up. But I have another problem. The test results are logged under my connection id, but my user login seems to expire within an hour of beginning an auto test. Happened again this evening. I usually uncheck remember me. Maybe that's it. Or maybe "don't let the computer go to sleep" means disable the screen saver. I don't suspend or hibernate. In time, I'll figure it out, I suppose. But it seems odd to me that "logged results" are grouped under the connection id but not the user login, especially since an auto test can run for several hours.
  2. i don't understand how to configure auto test for express-size download only. i check the express box each time. the first test seems to be a size that i would prefer (say, 4mb to 7mb+). but subsequent scheduled tests appear to grow quickly to very large downloads, even up to the 200mb max. how can i limit the auto test size?
  3. bell rolled out its optical fibre in my neighbourhood last autumn. ever since, i have been badgered by pairs of sales personnel at my door and flyers in my mailbox to switch to bell fibre from my provider (assumed by sales personnel to be videotron). in fact, my provider for the last 15+ years has been vif internet (vif.com), a bell wholesaler/reseller for copper wire adsl. i am satisfied with their service and very happy with their support, which must be the best anywhere. 5mb/s (now a little more) is good enough for me. but i'm not getting that any more -- not in the evenings. in fact, from maybe 6pm to 10pm, testmynet results are no more than 3mb/s and frequently no more than 1mb/s. i believe that i have ruled out connection problems and the possibility that vif has load balancing problems in peak hours. i strongly suspect that bell (through its affiliate bell nexia) is limiting bandwidth to copper wire dry loop customers in my area in order to persuade them to switch. is this crazy? if not, how can i prove it? first post. thx.
