Gobble Gobble... Hope everyone has a Happy Thanksgiving

It was nice

Thank you everyone.

Thanks guys... I will.

Welcome to the site, enjoy your stay. - CA3LE

Good to hear, glad I could be of assistance. - CA3LE

Welcome to TestMy.net jackytsui... I hope you find what you're looking for.

Good luck, let us know how it goes.

Yeah, I had a feeling that they charged more outside the US. Lame. Damn, Windows ME?!! I haven't seen that first hand in over 10 years. I can't believe that you didn't have problems with it... you must have been the only one. Ubuntu is awesome, I've built a bunch of Ubuntu machines... they run great. And if you're already running Linux the transition should be smooth. They just released a new version Oct. Get it here. What is the newegg equivalent in the UK?

Your host may not have very good peering. Read this >> https://testmy.net/legit-speed-test.php The results that you get here can be trusted more over a test that you take on a server a couple hundred miles away. The problem with many smaller and some larger ISP's is that they don't usually have good peering relationships. But if they are really small there may not be anything they can do... that's just their quality of service. To fix the problem they would have to get more outbound providers. Good luck. Welcome to the site by the way.

There actually was a bug with that. I had to let it run last night to see what you were talking about. Thank you for reporting this I've corrected the issue.

Working fine on my end as well. What was the problem that you were having?

Have you thought about a Mac Mini? They're awesome.

gzelman, you may want to read http://xplornetsucks.blogspot.com/2007/12/so-what-we-know-about-xplornet.html Does anyone have any insight into this?

Welcome knev

Well, if you're in Italy the chances are that your speeds will be effected going all the way to our server in Dallas, TX USA. Are you experiencing slower than normal speeds everywhere?

If you are used to the networking from older version of Windows then the Windows 7 network settings are a little weird. In my experience I've found that most of the same stuff is there, you just have to dig for it. It's obvious that MS tried to make it easier and more simple... but at the expense of people who were so familiar with the old way.

Damn, 107Mbps... I wish Cox offered that

Welcome to the site toneeels. First, what is the advertised speed of your service. What operating system are you using and what are the general specs of your system. Also, please let us know what the details of your network are... any routers, switches, hubs... provide some more details and we'll try our best to help you. - CA3LE

cool

Well, I changed it so it doesn't look like a battle thread.... you can make a title that peaks curiosity but a simple title of "yup" is too short. We change titles when they're that short, sorry. ... but seriously, this topic is now mostly just our banter..

With a title of simply, "yup" people who are searching have a hard time finding this. It was changed so that more people will read your post and you'll get more response. I only very rarely do that... but I will especially change the topic title if it contains only 3 letters. "Yup" doesn't provide users or search engines with any relevant information as to what this topic is about... you do want people to read and respond to this, don't you?

Here's a Steve Job's rank on the whole Fragmented vs Integrated issue. I personally feel that both platforms are awesome. My girlfriends dad got an iPhone 4 and after playing with it I'm very impressed. I have a Motorola DriodX and love everything about it. If I were offered a trade, even if the iPhone was on Verizon's network... I'm not sure if I would do it because of how happy I am with my phone. Now, one thing to understand is that Google has left their product open to competitive distribution. Buying an apple product is cool because you know what you're getting... you know that your getting quality hardware backed by quality software. But that doesn't mean that the same can't be true for Android. If you buy a quality model you're going to be happy. I have seen people with problems with Android but it's usually on lesser models, I'm sorry.. but you get what you pay for. Having said that, I think the approach that Google has taken is cool. They leave the public open to options... and the market open to competition. Apple on the other hand... well... your only real option is how much storage space you want. BUT, as I said... it's a quality piece of hardware. For me... Android is the best option. How does it impact users... well, for starters on iPhone.. when you download an app chances are that it will work as intended because there are far less variables. But on Android the same can be true... just make sure you get a good phone, lol. Like I said, I have the DroidX, I haven't seen any apps that didn't work properly. My girlfriend has the HTC Droid Incredible... her phone also works perfectly. Just don't buy a piece of junk and you should be happy with it. -- READ REVIEWS BEFORE YOU PURCHASE. -- An iPhone on the other hand, for the most part, is an iPhone... Android or iPhone... whatever you buy will be outdated in a week anyways

You have to realize that their test is on their internal network. So if there is congestion along Comcast's route to TestMy.net you won't be able to pull those speeds. Also, our testing method can help detect browser and OS issues that most other tests take a path around. For instance, my Chrome install is completely bugged right now, my scores here reflect the issue BUT testing at other sites it's not noticeable (I'm using Firefox until I figure out what's up with Chrome... it was fine a week ago)... One thing to keep in mind is that as connections get faster it's becoming more apparent that TestMy.net isn't just an internet connection test. Yes, it tests your internet but because of the method I employ if other things aren't running correctly it will be reflected in your speeds here. Another example of this that I like to bring up is in the case of my girlfriends laptop... she has a 2006 Macbook, her scores here were <8000 Kbps. I realized that her HDD was the component that was slowing her down. Swapped that out and immediately after she was able to max our connection out. All other speed tests didn't catch that. I don't know... nor do I really want to know how they all do it... all I know is that I seem to have inadvertently created more than just an internet speed test over the years. You may want to check your Rwin and MTU settings. I had a friend the other day who said, "Man, I can't pull more than ~20Mbps on your site... everywhere else shows nearly 60Mbps... And I can pull my full connection on Usenet..." -- he's on the same host as me and in the same city so I was pretty sure his route wasn't an issue. I let him know that just because you can get your full connection on Usenet doesn't mean that there isn't a problem... multi-threaded downloads like that can be unaffected but there can still be an underlying issue. He then remembered that he just recently reinstalled his ethernet drivers... further investigation showed that his receive buffer was set too low... changed it and was immediately able to max out. After I release v11 I want to work on giving the end user a better idea of what their problem might be... it's thousands of programming hours away however... and a ton of reading and research needs to be done on my end to better understand exactly why my tests detect the things they do (when nobody else does). So, I'm sorry that I don't have an exact reason for you right now. ... And it could always come down to Comcast's route to TestMy.net. Comcast did have a trunk outage a couple of weeks ago (see https://testmy.net/ipb/topic/27915-comcast-trunk-outage/) but I was informed that it was resolved. Let me know if you find some underlying problem. Hopefully some of the examples I sighted may help you. Here's suddenlink.net's averages >> https://testmy.net/hoststats/suddenlink.net They're currently ranked #3 for average download speeds here.

Is Sudden Link a cable provider... where are you at. Nice speeds.
