Nope ... the problem with satellite is latency... and there is no way to make your ping better. This is why people with satellite connections don't play online games ~~ for what it's worth... I feel for you bro, and you will be in my broadband prayors... one day there will be a nice pipe to your home... ... one day. --- and as you said, it is because the data has to go MANY miles through the atmosphere and THEN go back, that takes much more time than going over a network that has all of the long runs done in fiber ~~ you are transmitting to a satellite well over 22,500 miles away. round trip 90,000 miles. Radio waves travel at the speed of light, 300 million meters per second and even at that rate of speed the delay (latency) is going to add up. Sad but true... and there is nothing to fix it By the way, that is also why satellite providers compress data before it is sent to you.. to sort of offset the latency issue. TestMy.net has compressed data packs so when you are testing from here you will at least know that you are testing from packets that are 99% compressed (I mean, when building the test I compressed data.. then compressed the compressed data and so on.. to make sure that no mater what the test would be accurate) so if you are testing from here, you will be testing at your actual line speed (not what your provider wants you to think you are running at ) {{{{{{{ ~~~ a lot of other speed test sites use images that are only partially compressed.. or not at all which to you satellite folk will result in great inaccuracy (look like you are much faster)... not good, and all lies }}}}}}}} - CA3LE

eeewww that is reallly bad upload speed .. how many times have you tested?? you might want to try my patch on the main page ~~ sometimes if you had dial-up before and downloaded some "make your connection faster" thing .. it messes with the settings that patch fixes ... also let me know what your OS is, Browser, CPU, RAM .. all that stuff.

it is a little bug in the script I am working out.. when you click back sometimes it will refresh the results with start and stop times that are almost the same.. should have it fixed soon.. as long as you test normally you wont get it.

what kind of connection?

hehe, I have the same thing at my office ~~ like 3mbit upload

DAMN man, that is NIIIICE Post again...

That is very nice indeed, 1/2MB /sec used to only be in dreams... haha

That's what i was getting too.. then all of a sudden BAM! I am getting 4-5 mbps ~~~ sometimes up to 800Kb/sec ... very wierd... but I am loving it. I'm sure you have seen this post a while back when I first started getting this gain. https://testmy.net/forumz/viewtopic.php?t=31#204

has anyone else in Phx noticed a speed increase lately on Cox HSI I'm not complaining or anything And this speed has held strong for like 3 weeks now... and i have tested at other sites thinking "maybe I coded something wrong" ~~ but nope, it is the same all over the place :-/ pretty COOL! - Damon

Okay I did find a couple of "Math::Round" mistakes in my script very minor though.. they should have never halted the script like that... really wierd that I was never displayed error 500 though... but some people were.. I found some instances in my logs [sat Oct 18 01:36:20 2003] [error] [client XXX.XXX.XXX.XXX] Premature end of script headers: /home/testmyn/public_html/cgi-bin/results.cgi I think it had to do with some mathematic algorithm of some sort... I hope it's fixed now... I made a BUNCH more changes... noticed I forgot to type "exit;" once in the script also, that might have done it to... PERL is so touchy sometimes. And what sucks is when you get an error it's just like "ERROR" and you have to figure it out and then ya find your error and by fixing that you throw some other part of the script off and you get "ERROR" ... I can code strait through without testing the script at all untill the end usually but sometimes I type too fast for my own good and forget to close a comment ~~~ I dunno, i am tired as hell... nite! Let me know if it works 100% for you now kyliebug ~ I like my site to be 100% compatable, yes MRP I know... I am working on a 100% server-side bandwidth test so that people with "side kicks" can test too - Damon

oh never mind.. I knew that, what the hell was I thinking.. lol

not at all.. you get GREAT speeds ~~ even if you got 1mbps down and 256K up you are still getting a good deal, just ask people with DSL (MRP )

You really are getting your moneys worth.. trust me.. very nice score indeed.. how much ya pay.

What browser are you using.. what is your normal score?? What OS ~~ what type of connection... I will look into this.. - Damon

I have been working like crazy on the results script, it should be okay now I did however put a cap on the results again because of all the fake crap being posted in my forum cap is set pretty high though... A lot of people got error 500 while I was working on it though, I got a lot of emails on that ~~ I usually post a test script online before final publish but I was being lazy yesterday - Damon

you get speed like that all the time... try the 1600 test and post results here ... My server is in Dallas so that might be helping you a bit... nice score though.. very nice

might want to clear you cache ???

very nice

well I had taken the limit off the script per request... put it back on :-/ ~~ guess I should not have taken it off in the first place. I will un ban your IP's ~~ if I see you pulling 40 MB a day though I will ban your whole IP block ~~

I was working on the script for a minute .. fixed now.. re try

have you ever has dial-up on that machine?? when you had dial-up did you ever download anything that said "make your connection faster" ? Most likely it has changed your reg settings and is creating a bottle neck in your connection. Try using my BroadBand patch this may correct your problem http://www.testmy.net/TestMy.net_patches_all-OS.zip and if that does not work check out our friends at https://www.speedguide.net ~ they offer a lot of info on the subject and also offer tools to correct your problem... - Damon

just mad because your a spammer ... yet another ip to deny

that's okay .. ima ban your ass from my site .. spammer Comes here 4 times and does this 4 visits hits 1469 pages downloads 109 MB 30MB per visit... I like visitors... but it's kinda like this saying "with friends like you, who needs friends" ~~ I'm not going to pay for bandwidth for some punk that is most likely not even going to pay attention to my sponsors, and is also spamming my forum with fake score posts ~ he's not welcome here anymore, 68.232.35.4 BANNED FROM SITE ~~
