I know... that guy has had a fast connection for a long time too, back in 2006 results over 40Mbps

Oh, I see... it's MB/s --- lol, MBps isn't even a term. There is Mbps (megabits per second) and MB/s (megabytes per second) but MBps makes no sense.... things would get pretty confusing if that were true. I like how they say, "It's all about speed..." --- looks to me like it's all about ad revenue. -- 5 Adsense ads on one page! That's not only stupid, it violates Google's terms of use. Yeah, spammers usually have poor quality. They spend all of their time spamming instead of developing. This guy didn't even make sure he had his terminology or facts straight before going live. ...But, by all means keep that crap flowing off the press. The more TURD speed tests that are out there, the more reason why people will want to come here.

This will be fixed very soon Every time I try to get into that... something else comes up and side tracks me. ~~ I'll have that written into the next version. Thanks! -CA3LE

... Yeah, pretty sure he meant kB/s >> https://testmy.net/quickstats/BeerHunter "Rogers" may have a less obstructed signal to your home. If they want you to put up a 70' tower... for $4000... I don't know man, that's pretty lame. For that price, you'd better get AT LEAST a 10Mbps connection at the end of the day (I'm assuming that you're in a rural area, in which case that would be a nice connection). I'd really look into alternatives if I were you. I'm curious though, if "Rogers" can achieve the same thing with a USB stick... why not just go with that? Am I missing something? Where do you live? One of us may be able to help you find something better. ... 70' Tower... what, are you in Wyoming or something? Living off the grid must be awesome ...until you want to get on the internet In response to... and...

Antec makes nice cases. I've used them a few times in builds. This one looks like it breaths EXTRA well... pretty much 100% airflow, haha

You should also note that your problem is confirmed by slow downloads around the internet... etc. Before about 2005 many ISPs were sending their customers here. Pretty much all ISPs have started sending people to internal speed tests, usually Ookla tests. It's just wrong ...and makes them look stupid IMO. How does testing within the network tell you anything? I mean, that's good information to know as well. But to really get a full idea of your connection you need to test outside your ISPs network. I've placed my server in a prime location for the United States, on a powerful host... who has peering EVERWHERE. If you can't pull your speeds here, then something is wrong. ... I think most ISP employees know this but they're told to send people to their companies internal test. ... Check it out ... If you were going to go buy a laptop and you found a nice laptop (for instance)... now, you want to know more about it. Do you want to only know what the manufacturer says or do you usually check a 3rd party for an unbiased opinion? The same can be said for your ISP's service and speed test. Are you going to just trust their test and leave it at that or verify that you're not being lied to with a 3rd party? The ISPs know that they have flaws in routing and peering. I know that they're working on making a better internet. But, while they're correcting issues they can keep down on call center call volume if they host a test down the street that eliminates the variable of THE INTERNET. ---- How can you test your internet if you never even get out into the internet during the test?!??!

Hey Linaks, welcome to the site! Read "Why Do My Results Differ From Speedtest.net?" It should clear it up for you. ... Also read https://testmy.net/legit-speed-test.php -- speedtest.net makes them look good, that's why they're telling you to go there. Please respond with your thoughts.

Still rockin it in the kitchen. I have skylights in here and it's been kinda nice to get out of my office cave for a little while. I'll put pictures up when I move back in there. I've actually been moving it all over the place, kitchen, bedroom, living room, office... it's pretty portable... heavy and a little awkward to carry but it's less of a pain in the ass than moving all the components separately. I don't even think I'm going to do a dual display anymore. I'm finding that 2560X1440 fits my needs very well.

Right on.. I'm going to give that a try. I was hoping there was something like that, I just hadn't got around to looking for it yet. Thanks!

Cool, thanks for the info man. I wish there was some way to control it more. I may stop running it or turn it on and off because it's making my computer run hot. Do you know any 'Extra Parameter' tricks maybe?

Well... it's shooting up for two reasons. First, i just started folding again. Second, I just added a new quad-core to my home network... so I've got two computers working. Do you have a link for instructions on how to put my GPU to work on Mac. The Mac client seems very limited... am I missing something? I've got no graphics or anything, just basically... Ideally I would like the folding screensaver also but I'm having a hard time finding it. You seem well versed with Folding@home so I thought if anyone would know it would be you.

Thanks for the info, helps prove my point.

Here... I made it a little easier to get to.

Use the links above the results on the Top Providers and Top Members pages There are actually three new queries... Lowest Scoring Providers & Bottom 20 Members The third one is unrelated to this topic. It will List Providers by Popularity All are updated hourly.

Just horrible... not only wrong... the upload is impossible. --- WTF is that second number in orange? I'm sorry, that's not a speed test. ... and... I'm pretty sure you're a spammer. I keep seeing this stupid spammy ass URL in posts. Stop wasting your time, you're URL will NEVER show up on my site. Even if it does... I put "nofollow" in user submitted links. When will spammers learn that MAYBE if they spent all their spamming efforts on building they might have something. AND... You wasted 5 minutes out of my day! Stupid A@$#OLES!

Hey! Welcome to the site by the way. Sorry for the delay in this topic approval. When your first post only says "Hi" it can be hard to determine if you're a bot or person trying to get past the approval stage. (they do this because they want to spam the site) -- You've got other posts now and I've talked with you so I'm approving this topic now. Thanks for helping in that topic by the way.

Yeah, I run SUPHP. I haven't really seen a problem with server load because of that though. No custom config or anything.

Actually, that's listing them combined.

Alright guys, I know I started this topic a long time ago. But I'm sure that you all can see what I've been very busy. You guys wanted it... so I made it. You can now sort the hosts and members lists in reverse if you'd like. Just click "Rank"...

Alright... 1.5 hours later... https://testmy.net/topcount Updates every hour and lists the top 100 hosts by the number of tests taken. To access this in the future go to the normal provider stats page and click on "# Recent Tests" to sort by that field. I hope this new feature helps you.

Actually no... but I think I could whip something up for you tonight. Hit you back in a little bit.

Wireshark would have been my first choice. ... but have you tried Ethereal? Also, Capsa Free Edition looks nice. I haven't tried that though. ...... the best way to do it would be to go through a router and ethernet. You give yourself extra layers of security that way too

I had a feeling. Yeah... flash based tests don't detect that at all, very common problem. I think people are starting to realize how inaccurate flash tests are. This post is still a great addition to the forums. It may spark an "AH HA!" moment in a future visitor and help them with the same problem. -- Although, I've moved it to a more appropriate forum. I'm glad it was an easy fix for you, please tell your friends about the site. -CA3LE

Just cause something is obsolete doesn't always make it a piece of shit I'm running everything off a 1984 TI-99/4A And when I need something that can handle more graphics I bust out the 1982 Commodore Vic 20... TRUE gaming experience it's a little older but the graphics are insane, look what I just rendered with it... See... old hardware can still be really useful. You just have to hack it... (that joke was pretty elaborate) Seriously though, not useful... at all. But still cool to have a piece of computer history. Although, with how fast things move... all electronics are computer history really.

Can you post this to --- it's exactly what I'm talking about there. -- Thanks
