Hi Andre, Yes, there is a TMN server in Florida. It's not my own but is hosted by a powerful host. I've seen some crazy speed out of sietec's servers. You can see it at https://testmy.net/mirror/sietec set this sietec in Miami FL to default. Read sietec's two cents, posted in response to someone questioning TMN results. Interesting how far he put my method under the microscope. But you actually misunderstood the "CDN Push => Tampa, FL" means that it's testing from CDN Push to Tampa FL... if it said TX before it was due to your location being incorrectly detected. Hosts move IP addresses around and my databases for connecting your IP to your location are only 83% accurate to the city level. Especially true for mobile users, who can grab an IP from one area and then drive it with them to a new city. It's hard to detect that without being invasive. It's usually correct. In the future I'll implement GPS and the ability to define location. CDN Push uses CloudFlare's network. Looking at the network map you should be testing out of Miami using that method. If you get worse results using that method it may be due to route congestion. Personally, my home connection is weaker using CDN Push but my verizon 4G LTE usually fairs better. CDN method is good to try because it's the way that many websites are delivering large volume and static content. When I test from my home connection the CDN method seems to have a little lag, then huge burst... on my LTE it's just a huge burst. So, something along that route to my Cox connection must be causing that. I test using other servers and I never see that. I offer an array of testing methods because there is an array of possibilities to how you download and how the download is delivered. Good, clean running ISPs have less variance between the different servers and testing methods. I always suggest testing with my main server and comparing those results to the other mirrors. The default is the most powerful and overstocked server I have. It's also centrally located in the US right at the heart of server valley. Besides, the location of the server is irrelevant. Others and myself have proven many times that distance does not have to be a factor. I have records of people pulling many hundreds of Mbps across 1/2 the planet, and still have super low ping times. There is a HUGE misconception that you need to be close to the server to achieve your speeds. This is a misconception that your ISP loves... but the truth is... if the intermediate links were better there's no reason why you couldn't pull your full speeds at any distance, under the right network configuration and circumstance. Regarding speedtest.net... read Why do my results differ from ookla / speedtest.net - there are MANY factors that differ between TestMy.net and ookla speed tests. The one major one that sticks out in my mind when I hear a FiOS customer with speeds like yours... multithreading. What I see more often than not with FiOS (and 100+ Mbps consumer level broadband in general) is that you need to multithread to see anywhere near the top speed. This, I believe is due to either bandwidth shaping or due to the connection being split over channels. Commercial connections I work with will often perform better or at least the same with my classic test. If you take a multithread speed test it will be instantly obvious. My own home connection is effected, Cox Communications supposed 150/25... Using the classic linear speed test I get around 50-60 Mbps but when I multithread it opens up to nearly 90 Mbps. I know it can't do any higher because sometimes it will cause Pandora to skip and have issues... meaning I've sucked my connection dry. The max I've seen on Giganews is 92 Mbps, across 50 threads. ... in my opinion, you shouldn't have to open multiple threads to max out your connection. I leave my classic method as default because I'm not here to stroke egos, I'm here to help you all get the most out of your Internet. Okay... question 2, lol. The make a speed test is intended for 100 Mbps uplinks and higher. I personally use a minimum of 1000 Mbps on all my mirrors, my home server has 2 1000 Mbps uplinks on a round robin to balance the load across both interfaces. ... there is A LOT of head room. One of the many differences at TestMy.net is that I truly want to deliver the highest level of accuracy. Rule number 1, a speed test can't be accurate if there isn't enough bandwidth. So, your slow down is not because I'm getting a lot of hits... TMN gets a lot of traffic but I closely monitor what's going on. I have live monitors on my phone with me at all times. The mother server I have right now is so powerful I estimate that I can load it with at least 10X the traffic I have right now and users will still be unaffected by other users testing. It's a 24 core beast, to be honest it's by far the most powerful machine I've ever had the pleasure of working with. I'll have it replaced again before overloading it becomes an issue and if my traffic exploded insanely overnight, I can have more beasts online in minutes. > --- it's never an issue but if you wanted to double check it's as easy as going to https://testmy.net/live and look at the results others are getting. Also, researching into recent results for your city, country or ISP can show if others locally are able to get better speeds than you are. I see MANY verizon users in your area pulling better speeds than you are. So you might even have an issue with your TCP or internal network. Which often don't show up on other speed tests... because most other speed tests multithread by default and actually ignore portions of the result. Leading to a false sense of pride. You took the time to write a lengthy query so I wrote a lengthy respond... I hope you read it, it helps and you learn from it. - Cheers, - Damon - TestMy.net

Can you post more specifics. Post some scores. Have you tried the mirrors? https://testmy.net/mirror welcome by the way... always glad to see a regular finally post.

I get a lot of emails like this. Sometimes the person takes the time to post in the forum, many times not. Maybe they're shy. First, have you tried the mirrors or the multithread speed test? Please direct your question to my forum. More people answering your question usually helps in this kind of situation. Plus, other people can be helped by reading the solution. Happy Testing! - Damon - TestMy.net ______________________________________ I'm sorry, I try to help as many people personally as I can but many more people can get the help they need if you just post a topic here. It gets resolved and later on someone with the same issue can hopefully get relief. ...... if I just help you by email, it only helps 1 person. So work with me here! If I wanted to help just a couple people by email I'd be a realtor... no offense to realtors. It takes like 20 seconds to post a topic and ask a question...

Hey John, Yeah, it's a program I wrote, I've been developing it since I was 15... I turn 32 in November. The source is closed but I do allow you to host a test using your server resources. Basic LAMP server gets the job done. https://testmy.net/make-a-speed-test for more info. Totally free, works with all my tools, extremely stable, requires very little resources and is the same core I use for my own mirrors. This is however intended for people hosted on 100 Mbps, 1000 Mbps and higher uplinks. But I have allowed home users and local testing for cool people. The architecture and concept has been proven and tested under all circumstances, by myself and many smarter than me. Local and out to the net, time after time it performs equally well and matches what's really happening across the network interface. The whole reason I released self hosting was to have it scrutinized, almost immediately people did just that. Here's one example of someone who put my methods under the microscope... https://testmy.net/ipb/topic/30731-multithread/#entry339762 I hope you like what I've built and share it. My traffic builds by word-of-mouth only. Kinds regards, - Damon - TestMy.net Extra note from Damon: TMN runs proprietary software, developed by myself solely for this purpose. Sorry but the source is closed.

I think it's funny, I actually get a few emails like this every month. I thought that I make it pretty clear how to get the test rolling right on the homepage.. maybe not. lol Maybe to some it's confusing... can't make everyone happy I guess. Hi Tawfik, Just go to TestMy.net and click "Test My Internet" ... this will test both upload and download speed. Comparison to your ISP, City, Country and the World will be provided in your results. - Hope this helps, - Damon - TestMy.net

I was doing some app dev research, been playing with PhoneGap to build a native iOS and Android app from my existing development for TMN. I was browsing their app directory to see if I can deliver the polished look I desire using this method and found an awesome app for my baby girl. I search the app store all the time for games that she'll like... she hasn't liked any of them as much as this game. My daughter Makenna (turns 2 in 2 months) claps and cheers the whole time she plays it. Obviously, she gets sick of it after a while but loves it again each time I put it on for her. The developer has done a great job. Makenna was instantly able to grasp the concept and within a couple minutes of playing was navigating the menus. I paid $0.99 for the full version and in my opinion it paid for itself instantly. Keep in mind that the free version still has a lot to offer... I would have paid them even if it didn't unlock anything extra. I just wanted to share this simple, educational and rewarding toddler game. Baby Goo on iTunes (Handful of free puzzles, $0.99 unlocks 18 puzzles.)

Share your multithread speed test results and compare to the classic linear download test. Post your own results however you want. Post a single result... Or get deeper in your comparison Adjusting the options can give you more insight into how your connection performs. Here's what I've done in my example below. First multithread result is testing to all US servers... ... 2nd is testing to all international servers only. ... 3rd is testing to all servers... To be more scientific I'm also manually selecting 100MB test each time. If you want to get a consistent test size between your experiments select the servers you want then click 'Save', simply select download test from the main menu and select a manual size as you normally would. As long as you have multithread enabled it will be evoked with all your download tests. (btw, it shows a different size in multithread but is accurate to the exact amount of actual data transferred. You select 100 MB but because of the way that test works it's not actually exactly 100MB... just know that it's extremely precise, okay! It gives you the best match. By contrast classic linear is capable of serving exact sizes down to the byte.) How does your connection compare?

Tell them, "Hey! Don't I have the right to a third party opinion?" The person who started the poll didn't make it the right way... should have split it into two questions. I fixed it and add a few extra options. Thanks for pointing that out. Should work good for you now.

Hi George, Complain. They should deliver at least 80% to be considered good. 60% is the absolute minimum... I would be very angry if my ISP delivered less than 60% of the package speed. First, I don't see that you've registered, register. That way your stats will be saved by username, if your IP changes the results will follow you. Test from multiple mirrors to show that it's not isolated in the route and try the multithread speed test to see if your connection performs better with extra threads. Multithread test mimics the way that website content, torrents and usenet download. It also has the ability to test across the entire TMN global network using a single test... providing what I think is the most comprehensive speed test result available. Also try running an automatic speed test, which will provide a curve over time and show you if you've got issues only during certain hours. Use the options I provide to get the best picture of your connection overall. If you do all of that and aren't able to get anywhere close to your speed, you deserve an explanation. Hit your ISP up with the results and make them deliver on your agreement! Good luck, I hope TMN helps... if it does, let me know. - Damon - TestMy.net

Thanks! Welcome to TestMy.net. I hope my site plays a part in helping you get more from your connection. You may want to try the Auto Speed Test in your situation.

thanks for your patronage... I really haven't even started yet. Keep visiting and over time you'll watch it get closer and closer to my vision. I'm one guy putting it all together so it takes time... but I'm always developing to make TMN better for you. I have much more in store, stick around and see.

Sorry, my dog has been very sick so I didn't have a chance to reply yet. Currently TiP (Test in Progress) measurements are only on download speed tests over 1.5 MB. I'm developing the same concept for the upload speed test but at this time it doesn't have that capability. Keep visiting, that and much more will be released before you know it. ... it would be great to see that much detail in the upload test too. But it's not easy to pull off. I have some ideas of how to do it, we'll just have to see if I can get it to come together. Also note TiP is disabled on the multithread speed test. In the future I may make those work together. One thing you can do is use a network monitor of some kind during the test. Personally on Mac OSX I just use Activity Monitor most of the time (which comes with OSX). It's not very detailed but it can still provide a good idea of the curve. Here's the Activity Monitor / Network during that test ... green spike is the initial loading of form data, the red is the data being uploaded back. I actually spike at ~1.3 MB/s but it takes time to build that speed so my overall score is reduced. ...information that will be nice to see right in your browser. But right now, only on the download test. I see that you're using Windows you could try Bit Meter 2 (simple, free...). Want more, search Google for something like "network speed monitor" -- to get deeper detail on what's actually happening across your network adapter, find a program you like and use it in conjunction with TestMy.net. hope this helps, -D

Welcome to TMN Mr. Yukon! I hope to see you post about you passions. I can always use good content and writing about what your passionate about equals good content... always. See ya around, thanks for your continued patronage. - D btw... awesome speeds. FiOS is the sh!t.

Hey BarryG, welcome to TMN. You haven't logged any results under your username yet but I see your results at https://testmy.net/compID/34592821216. That's a really big difference from your first test. Also fast for satellite. How does surfing the Internet feel? Are you downloading files that fast? How does youtube HD load and play?

There may be congestion along your route to that server. I can tell you that it's not an error. I have a new tool that will be released soon that will help highlight problem areas along your route. Join the beta program if you'd like to try it out now.

Welcome to TestMy.net! You're welcome... keep visiting, I'm just getting started. I hope that in the end TMN gives you enough evidence to get your provider to take notice to your situation. That's why I built this.

yeah... that's fast for sure. That will definitely bump you up in the ranking. Lol, you're #5 right now. https://testmy.net/memberstats nice.

You just have to want to try new stuff... it's as harmless as using the site normally. ... I have something beta out right now. I see you voted above. I've added you to the beta users. Read the topic at https://testmy.net/ipb/topic/30918-tracemynet/ (hint: if you're not a beta user, the password is beta) During the beta period enjoy the additional features that others don't have yet. Also enjoy an ad free TMN experience.

what package do you subscribe to?

Have you tried the multithread speed test -- it might help defeat whatever is cache accelerating your result? Hughes has some kind of proxy accelerator I think. I have a bunch of things in place to avoid this but nothing is impossible. If they have a system in place that specifically ignores some of my commands then they could defeat my cache prevention. I need to either get with someone that has their service and use it for development or talk with Hughes about it. ... is there acceleration software they gave you that you can turn off or can you bypass their proxy? ... note to others, this is a very uncommon situation. ... I've never been able to get my hands on a satellite connection for my development. But many satellite users over the years have sworn by TestMy.net ... I think I just need to get my hands on a satellite and see for myself...

Hey, if you buy a quality PC.. it will probably last. I'm not doggin' the hardware... I'm talking about the OS. There are plenty of awesome PCs out there... like totally insane, make people jealous computers that can blow away any Apple computer... it's just too bad you can't put OSX on them.

... I'm such an MS hater these days. But seriously... am I wrong? It's like they're trying to get in the way of their own success anymore. My father-in-law just got a Levono Win8 craptop. Nice specs, touchscreen - i7... blah blah blah ...I couldn't even get it to do anything. Wouldn't connect to my wifi I assume because it wasn't registered but to register you needed the wifi. Seriously MS, do you have marbles for brains? It had a telephone registration but I looked at him and said, "Come on dude! Just trust me and get a Mac! You'd get it, open the box and be ready to rock in like 60 seconds." -- he gave in and took that craptop back. I'm not saying it was a bad laptop, it had potential. But the operating system was seriously holding it back. I have like 5 wifi networks in my house... I also created TestMy.net so I'm pretty sure that I know how to get a computer on the Internet. It just said "Limited Connectivity" on every network and kept asking to register over the Internet! lol hello! catch 22! He was thinking of putting Windows 7 on it... okay, so now we have to buy new laptops and spend more money to put 4 year-old operating system on them. Yeah, that seems really efficient... efficient for Microsoft's pocket! My brother-in-law didn't listen and got a PC which came with Windows 7 and Toshiba gave him a free upgrade to Win8. He upgraded and none of his stuff worked anymore. The backlight to his keyboard, the function keys... important hardware stuff just simply wasn't supported even though Toshiba told him it was totally supported. He also was getting errors and freezes all over the place. He went back down to Win7 and is happy now. What a headache though. Could have saved ALL of that time and effort and got an Apple to start with. All that time on the phone dealing with that BS, could have been spent smelling roses or finding a cure for cancer. I dunno, just not on a tech support call. Microsoft will figure themselves out. They need to stop trying to be different and cool and get back to the core of what made them popular. One windows device that I thought was awesome. The Nokia Lumia 1020, however I haven't played with one. I'm sure that it feels retarded being a Windows phone but the camera is insane. 41MP and a real xenon flash. Does it perform well as a phone, I don't know. But that sensor, 41MP... let's put that in perspective... the Hubble Telescope has 64X less resolution. It has so much resolution that you can digitally zoom 4X and still have lossless 1080P quality. Too bad they ruined it all up and put it on a windows phone. -- still, an amazing jump in technology for sure. After he got his Macbook Pro (which was maybe a couple hundred more than the other laptop). It booted up and he was on the Internet within I'd say... 90 seconds (so I was wrong... it wasn't 60 seconds, lol). I put in his info, installed MS Office and synced his iPhone for the first time... he's been glued to it ever since. He thought there was going to be a huge learning curve but in reality it just works how you'd expect it to so I think he's really happy with his choice. He'll have far less headaches and be more productive for sure. If you're in the market for a new computer. Choose the one with an OS that's leading the way into the future... not the one that wastes your life with technical issues. I'll leave it up to you which is which. ... and remember, saving money is only saving money if it doesn't waste time.

I see your stats at https://testmy.net/compID/900739111929 Don't expect to get upload speeds as fast as your download speed. On a consumer level it can be rare. Consult your ISP about the upload speed you should be getting. In your case Comcast's packages are listed at DSL Reports http://www.dslreports.com/faq/15643 ... They seem to be updated.
