Whether in disappointment, "Oh bother." or in anger, "Oh bother!" it was truly Pooh's way of politely saying "Damn it".     Eeyore was always my favorite.  Watching and reading it with my daughter now and he still cracks me up.

 It's so true. If you're looking for deep wisdoms packaged in a deceptively childlike format, look no further than the adventures of Pooh and company

So, I ran tests on my personal Macbook and Galaxy S5, and it looks like the download issue is particular to this computer (late 2012 iMac). The download test keeps getting stuck at the same place on both Chrome and Safari, while the upload test works fine.

*Update. Just ran the multithread test and guess what? Safari worked! Tried standard download test, and voila! It worked too. Went out on a limb and tried the combined test. SUCCESS!

Chrome however, is still "One Moment..."ing me. Bleugh. Chrome is my default browser, so what can I do to get Chrome purring again?

**UPDATE. THE MULTITHREAD DOWNLOAD TEST WORKED ON CHROME!!!! I have no idea why (because I didn't change anything), but all of a sudden, the multithread download test worked. That said, the linear test is still giving me grief. Nothing changed there :/

Okaaay. So, we have the culprit. The linear download test is just refusing to work on Chrome. What can I do to get it to work (short of defaulting to Safari)?

ps. Seeing your "972.9Mbps Down" makes me a little sick. My internet is slower than your by a factor of about 2000. 

Thanks for the reply, appreciate it.

I ran the tests as you suggested, and noticed something interesting. The upload tests work fine if I do them alone, but none of the download tests worked (consequently, running the combined test got me nowhere).

Just to be certain, I cleared my Chrome cache back to the beginning of time before running the tests. However, considering the results, I imagine it must be a blockage from my side. Is there anything else I can tinker with from here that might be affecting my connection? 

US East (Chrome) - "One Moment..." for 5 minutes before changing server

Asia (Chrome) - "One Moment..." for 5 minutes before changing server

Australia (Chrome) - "One Moment..." for 5 minutes before changing server

US East (Safari) - 100% downloading 256kB (see screenshot)

Safari stopped responding at this point, and I don't have time to fight with it now.

Hi there

I haven't been able to use this site for quite a while now, but I can't handle relying on *coughcoughspeedtestcoughcough*  ​any more - my line is obviously not working properly, but *coughcoughspeedtestcoughcough* ​keeps telling me it is working at full capacity 

Anyway, I digress. Whenever I try run a test (be it download, upload, or combined), it starts running, gets to about here

Does anyone have any idea how to fix this? I need testmy.net back in my life
