Welcome to the beta team @NorthIndiana84 Read the beta welcome topic to get started. It's a new version of TestMy.net's speed test. Code rebuilt from line zero. There's no requirement to being a beta tester. Give me feedback or don't, either way I get valuable information when you use the test. Helps me catch bugs before production, even if you don't tell me anything. Obviously, feedback helps even more. User feedback has helped shape TestMy.net. Your level of involvement is up to you. Just use the site as you normally would, with the beta ON and with it OFF. And if you're up for it, let me know what I can do to improve the experience.

According to hosts who've contacted me, there's an option for them to "adjust the drop off". So they can cut off the top and bottom portions and shape the result to suit the narrative they want to paint. I know this because they were asking me if I had those options! Not just one or two by the way. And they've stated that these options only exist on the higher level licenses. So basically, if you pay them enough. Exactly what you eluded to. More reason why an unbiased third party opinion from TestMy.net is necessary. All connections are tested under the same internal variables. Any variable that can be controlled is controlled by YOU, the client... not your ISP.

Where are you seeing this? I do need to redesign the ranking to be more user friendly. Definitely can be done better. Here's the ranking, after filtering out some of the less popular locales. I manually do a minimum test count of 45100 because every day the host database tables that the host averages are calculated from are trimmed, to 45000. This isn't the right way to do this because it's dependent on the time of day. I have some additional logic I'm adding to that. Where that part of the program will be made aware of the actual recent popularity. It will default to filtering out the less popular locations to build a better list. Sorting by download speed https://testmy.net/rank/countrycode.down/45100 Sorting by upload speed https://testmy.net/rank/countrycode.up/45100 It will look different using the defaults. It also may have been different when you looked, because of the time of day. The tables might have just trimmed and then it happened that a bunch of tests were taking place in the locations you mentioned above. That tool was designed before I started trimming those tables. It was easier to sort them by popularity before they started being trimmed... after time the majority of the tables are over 45K rows making that variable unreliable. Going way beyond the topic... Keep in mind, I built TestMy.net with really no prior programming knowledge... starting in 1996 before it was even TestMy.net. I then dropped out of high school in 1999, the useless information and repetition... I learn way more, much faster by DOING so I decided to focus on that. Building this taught me and I'm always learning. I've definitely made a lot of programming mistakes but they've all lead to a better understanding and better future designs. I'm a lone wolf programmer. All of the frontend, all of the backend. I even built the physical servers and infrastructure by hand. BTW, I was like 1 or 2 credits from graduating. Didn't really want their paper. What does it prove? Got hired at one of the largest telecommunication giants, quit school the next day. Worked for them for 5 years. Working my way up from the warehouse, within 1 year my pay increased over 6X. That company was good to me but TestMy.net was calling, I've pursued it full time ever since. Side note, if anyone actually reads this: That company had a strict policy and would have fired me if they knew I didn't have at least a GED. No matter what my performance was in the company. People high up (like extremely high up) told me it would be an open shut case and to keep quiet about it, "Just go get your GED dude!". Some told me it wouldn't matter even if I got it because I should have never been hired in the first place. That attitude was actually the reason I left them. With my own company nobody could hang anything over my head. Yes, I probably could have just got a GED. But why? I don't want that. They assumed I graduated because I had college credits, never lied to them. Thankfully it never became an issue and I resigned on top. Great company, they taught me a lot too.

@ixiz you're now in the beta crew, read the beta welcome topic for more details.

Were you signed in when your IP changed? Usually this doesn't interrupt the test but the user may lose their results if they aren't signed in because the computer ID changes when your IP changes. When you came back to the test, what did it say in the browser? I have a beta that was originally for something else. It has some logic in it that would definitely make it much more difficult for any stoppage to happen. I plan to develop that new logic into the automatic speed test.

@jpknuuti I also added you to the beta testers group if you'd like to try the beta.

@jpknuuti -- I like that use case. You now have special access to 1 auto minute testing. Please let me know if this helps! As long as you're signed in this will work.

Here's what I found. Schannel error 40 means: SSL3_ALERT_HANDSHAKE_FAILURE -- you may be using outdated cyphers in your browser. Service Control Manager Event ID: 7001 -- maybe look at this article. >> How to Solve Service Control Manager Error 7001 Effectively If this helps let me know.

Hi Janne, Welcome! You could test more frequently, but do you really want to? As @xs1 is saying, it can become counter productive if you're testing every minute. TMN is designed to utilize your data heavily. Depending on the speed of your connection; fully open, testing every minute it can quickly eat up your data and mine. If your use case could benefit from that functionality let me know, I sometimes allow more frequent testing on a case by case basis.

Sorry for the delay, a little overwhelmed over the last week. You're in! Read the beta welcome topic for more details.

Welcome! If you go to My Settings you can add an identifier. Select something like "Location 1" when you're connected to router #1... then "Location 2" for the second. You can then filter your results by identifier under My Results. Let me know if this helps.

I the PM you sent me you added The 75 Mbps you're seeing has little to do with your personal speed, your speed is averaged in there but so is everyone else. That's the World Average and displays the same for everyone. You may be running 5% greater than the Cambodia (KH) average but you're still below the World Average speed. Hope this helps. Thank you for being such a long time member!

It's the average of all tests taken recently. This is calculated every 15 minutes so it varies throughout the day.

Thank you for the heads up, doing some updates and missed a spot. It's working for you now.

You're now in the beta group. Read the beta welcome topic for more details. Try it out.

Sorry for the delay. You're in! Read the beta welcome topic for more details.

You're in! Read the beta welcome topic for more details. I'm going open this up for all TMN members very soon, possibly this week.

Happy Thanksgiving everyone!

If you export all it shows the identifier, it's just hard to understand right now. examples from exported csv Fri Nov 17 2023 @ 2:34:06 pm,UP,37.6 MB,46.9,BDBaer,322903284682,merit_network,60-27---east_lansing-mi-us,OzsHxkMm6 Fri Nov 17 2023 @ 4:35:15 am,UP,18.8 MB,36.34,BDBaer,322913467067,merit_network,60-26---okemos-mi-us,V6ypcp5Gy Thu Nov 16 2023 @ 9:11:49 am,UP,37.3 MB,35.26,BDBaer,32280867746,merit_network,60-28---williamston-mi-us,_APwZLe8H Wed Nov 15 2023 @ 10:55:51 pm,UP,100 MB,286.2,BDBaer,19916357074867,metronet,60-7---east_lansing-mi-us,KbqnYJk5s You see the 60-26, 60-27, 60-28, etc? It's very confusing, I'm sorry. In the beginning I promised my users I'd maintain their old results. It's a remnant of me trying to work with small fields in the legacy database. It's so large that altering its structure is very difficult so I've had to do tricks in the past to add more data using the same limited fields. It stores the test location and your location in the same field, using a dash as a separator. e.g. 60 is Dallas, 26 is Location 1. This is resolved for you when you query your results on TestMy.net. I'll add resolution of the locations in the export process for you soon. I also have a new program called My Projects in the beta. With this you can give your locations your own name, which then is easily identifiable within your exported results. If you'd like to try the beta let me know and I'll give you early access.

You may have something happening on your end. Testing in Edge on my computer is working normally. What exactly is happening? Can you provide a screen recording? When all else fails, you can try resetting Edge. *** [menu] > settings > reset settings > restore settings to their default values

Hey @mitchell12388! Actually, I did recently add something similar that may help, available only under the beta as a member. I can add an optional "notes" field to My Projects which I think will give you the functionality you're looking for. Let me know if this will help.

Because you're turning off the modem and router this is normal. You can safely ignore this in your event viewer. 😀

You responded on the beta topic so I added you to the group.

Nice! @xCON You're now in the beta group. Read the beta welcome topic for more details. I'll be looking out for your results.
