Alright, it's coming along very nicely. I'm able to enter a project name and sub name (if desired). TMN then generates a short, friendly URL and puts it on your list. When you visit the URL it greets the client and ties that computer to the project for 30 days. The URL is the sign-in. From your project list you can see how many results each has and query the results as you normally do. Then export the results. Everything in the database works the same. Add extra identifiers on top of this to further differentiate. Just need to give it some logic for aggregating each projects sub-projects into one query, then polish the UI a little more and you can get working with the program immediately. I think it will make things easier for you. After I read your post on Wednesday I meditated for what felt like only 15 minutes, plotted it all out. And then it just poured out onto my keyboard. Your details helped me visualize. TMN's framework helped put it together quickly... it was pretty much written, just had to give it instructions for this scenario. I'm making this specifically for you and don't really care if anyone else uses it. Original Members get original tools!

Thank you for the details, really helps. Well underway now, I wrote about 20 kB last night and into this morning. I'll update this thread.

You can kinda do that right now, by using identifiers. Then take note of the date, later query the database for that date range to only pull the results theoretically from the one site. Maybe make a separate TMN account for these type of results. I intend on making it much easier to organize in your situation by incorporating sub accounts. Which will help keep track of multiple overall scenarios. I like the name you just came up with, My Projects. Bumping this up in my to-do list.

You can still see Firefox performing 27% slower than the other browsers with the beta. But it's definitely more pronounced when you're uploading only one thing at a time. Let us know if a refresh of Firefox gets it back in line.

Instructions to Enable the Beta are in the Private area. The beta is private but members with access are allowed to share instructions. Please use this public forum for all threads related to Beta 23. If you encounter any issues or bugs please copy the URL in your browser and include it with your post. This helps reproduce the issue. Screen recordings are also very helpful. Start new topic Happy Testing!

I just ran the test in Windows on Firefox and task manager is showing the same thing as TMN. You're getting up to nearly 450 Mbps results in the upload test, task manager should reflect this. Could it possibly be going through a different interface connected on your computer? Maybe another ethernet connection or wifi? ... with a connection like that, you'll have to give my new beta a spin. The current upload test is limited to 100 MB size, and single thread. The multithread upload test is only in the beta and is the core of why I built an entirely new version. Invites for the beta a now closed but you're going to get an invite automatically because of your rank here. Looking to send that out soon. Here's xs1's final upload result on Frontier TestMy.net Test ID : qX0Ybzziu And here's what he was able to pull using the current version.

Hey Pheelix, cool name btw. I notice you're not signed up for the beta. If you want to see the updated process before the general public vote on this topic >> https://testmy.net/ipb/topic/34612-beta-testers-welcome/ Voting will close soon and the team will be built.

I have Xfinity and my modem rarely resets like that. When it does it's usually around midnight or 2 am. If it's doing that frequently it's a sign of some kind of issue. couple questions... Where is this modem/gateway? Does it happen to be in a confined space, possibly running hot? I know the gateway has restarted recently but did you happen to do a full power cycle? (unplug for 10 seconds) ... again, it shouldn't be restarting frequently. Once a month at most. Every so often you will require updates from Comcast and sometimes they may require the modem to restart. No matter which hardware you use and regardless of the ISP. I feel it's always smart to own your equipment. A nice quality Netgear gaming router and Arris Surfboard modem compatible with your package is what I recommend. Long term it saves money. When you want to upgrade having a separate modem and router makes it less expensive... and gives you the most choices and options. Right now I'm currently renting a gateway. I use it only as a modem then it goes into my own router. Personally I'd never trust them (or anyone else) with my networking. I had to rent their modem to get unlimited data. Now they allow unlimited with your own modem but for +$30 /month, vs +$25/month (inc gateway rental). But if you don't have or need the unlimited you'll save $15/month. I see SURFboard S33 (check with Comcast and make sure this works with your package first, it should) for $100-$120 refurbished on amazon. So 7-8 months break even. Then for a router I might get a Netgear Nighthawk Pro Gaming XR500 refurbished for $105-$150. Let's say 8 more months. So 16 months and you'll be ahead. That router is limited to 1 Gbps ethernet but I think the over all quality of the connections will be amazing. There are 2.5 Gbps ethernet options but at a premium right now. Netgear RAX120 has 1x 1/2.5/5Gbps and I've seen those as cheap at $149. It may be tempting to get a modem/router combo, like the Netgear CM2000 for $189 refurbished. But if anything goes wrong, it usually costs more to replace. And then you lose that upgrade flexibility I mention above. For this type of gear I would definitely save the money and get refurbished or used. If it works for a week or two, chances are it will chug away for years.

The confusion is because of the difference between Mbps and MB/s. Mbps or Megabits per second is measured in bits. MB/s or Megabytes per second is bytes. There are 8 bits per byte. So to convert MB/s to Mbps you times by 8. So your seeing about 2 MB/s .. which is the same as 16 Mbps. Bytes are used when you're talking about binary file size or file transfer speed. Bits are used to express connection speed or thruput. .... e.g. I downloaded a 14 MB file at 2 MB/s, so my connection speed is 16 Mbps. I can stream at 16 Mbps. Hope this helps. Happy Testing!

Give us some more details on your network. What router and modem do you have, how many computers and are they all wifi? Have you tried testing directly connected, from the modem to one of your computers? That will help us understand if it's something within your network or if it's coming from Vodafone.

Hi Steve, Can't really make them. You definitely have something happening. Appears like sometimes you're fine, then other times you get that seesaw effect. The dreaded intermittent issue, worst kind to nail down! How often does this happen? Have you tried any other browsers or computers? Are you fairly certain that it happens in all browsers and on any device connected to your network? Or have you only testing in one browser on one computer?

You won't need a server. You can install Docker on Mac, Windows or Linux. Then it's just a matter of a couple easy commands and it's running. You're getting me all psyched up!

Catbear 🐱🐻! You're awesome! Please join the beta to get early access >> https://testmy.net/ipb/topic/34612-beta-testers-welcome/ I think you're going to love playing with the new tests on that connection. I'd like to see how it runs on your local network too. I'm stoked to read them. Welcome to TestMy.net! By the way, sweet connection!

Welcome @Little Banshee! TestMy.net is currently only testing your single file transfer performance (on upload). This is close to what you'll see if you try and upload a single file somewhere. This also shows you what kind of streaming quality your connection is capable of. If you tried to stream over 70 Mbps, you'd probably have issues. My new beta is built around a multithread upload test. Join us in testing >> https://testmy.net/ipb/topic/34612-beta-testers-welcome/ The multithread upload test will help you see how fast you are when you combine multiple transfers together. Comparing the two tests helps you understand your connection better.

You can use any OS, any browser, A/V, firewall etc. Usually any computer that has a fresh install will perform well. It's only after introducing variables that limit or get in the way of the connection that there are ever issues. I have dozens of programs installed on my computers and none of them get in the way of my normal transfer, ever. Nor do I ever encounter programs or settings that affect my TMN results, ever. There are no special requirements. If you run the test on a memory constrained machine, a machine with something misconfigured or with software parsing your browser data... then yes, you're results will suffer. That's why we test!! But that doesn't mean you have to make stars align. Just if you start with crap you'll usually end up with crap results. If the conditions improve TMN results always improve. Now, we know that tablet isn't crap so there must be some kind of crap causing it to look like crap. ... what? Dude, I'm the Webmaster and clearly you were writing to me. If you're writing TestMy.net, you're writing me. I am TestMy.net. Back to my post from Friday, have you tried resetting Edge to default? ··· >> Settings >> Reset Settings >> Restore settings to their default values TestMy.net is only trying to help you by showing you what it sees. If two browsers on the same machine are performing 10X different, there's good reason you're getting those results. It doesn't just happen.

Both engines are proven to perform well on TestMy.net. As long as they're running correctly. I run them both regularly, every day. On different operating systems, different machines all over the place. I never see what you're seeing unless there's good reason. Seems like you're always ready to attack me. If you don't like my test, my results or the advice I'm giving then why are you here? Don't worry, you didn't burst anything. I realized before this even became TestMy.net over 20 years ago... I'm never going to please everyone. Obviously you can't be helped, you may not even know how to accept help. When people take a lot of time to help you, you spit on their advice. If I wanted spit in my life I'd work in a prison, zoo or insane asylum. Some people act like I owe them something. This site is given to you AS-IS, take it or leave it. If it works for millions of other people for over 20 years... but doesn't work for you then you should probably wonder what's different about your setup than everyone else. Instead you join the camp of those who shoot the messenger. The other people here testing with similar Chrome setups but getting much better results prove that the issues are unique to you. But you want the problem to be someone else. Your wife probably clicked something and got the device infected, being an analog girl and all. It could infect the base OS browser but not other installed browsers. I would't ignore those results, they only happen for good reason. When I've played with surface tablets in the past, I've been blown away how well they perform on TMN. Using Edge. Edge ≠ Internet Explorer. For the most part it performs as well or even better than Chrome in my testing. I no longer have to program specifically for Microsoft's browser, as it now respects the standards. Any browser that accepts the standard will perform well on TMN, which (after Edge switching to Chromium) is every-single major browser.

Hi MFP, after my last response I got back into development again. I hope it all makes sense when you see the beta. Very proud of how it's turning out. I didn't notice this post until just now... when catching up on the topic I was focused on the post after the one I quote here. When that happens, where one browser is much faster than another on the same machine, it always points to software as the culprit. There's no other reason why that would happen. I would reset that browser to factory defaults to see if it improves. But first... Often it can be some plugin you've installed. You can try systematically disabling them to find the culprit. I would disable all of them first, if speed improves THEN disable them one at a time until you find it. Routinely installed software could have added the plugin/extension. Or maybe a plugin you've personally installed, may have even ran fine until an update. A plugin that has the ability to parse the HTML content of the pages you're using, like a deal finder or ad blocker can severely cripple your browser's performance. Especially if the author of the software is doing something nefarious. Which at least to some degree pretty much all of them are. (At least anonymizing your data and sharing it with third parties.) TestMy.net's Linear test is able to detect this when other's aren't because the data is streaming. It's like you're reading a document from top to bottom. You can't split the data as it's flowing to hide what's really happening. If something is parsing the data as I'm sending it to you it's possibly going to slow down my transmission to you. The plugin may be harmless and just not a very optimal program. Or it may be parsing your data for evil. If the plugin is parsing for a few keywords it might not be noticeable but depending on what it's trying to accomplish and how in depth it's parsing it might really slow things down. You may not even notice in normal browsing with fast enough internet... but TMN will notice. Only way I'd ever ad block is with DNS, only way I'll look for deals is with good old research. NEVER EVER EVER EVER install ANY browser plugins, EVER. There is no exception. If you absolutely need a plugin to do something legit (like metamask) then virtualize a separate desktop or have a specific browser just for that task. If something needs a plugin, you're most certainly giving it too many permissions. I trust no plugin. I could audit their code today and they update it all tomorrow. Hey, maybe it's something else. I'm literally 1000 miles away. Back to reset that browser to factory defaults; It could be a simple setting in the browser. Might be buried deep in advanced settings where it could be nearly impossible to find. If all else fails, just reset the browser. All browsers these days seem to have some option for that. If it is a specific plugin or piece of software and you narrow it down, please let us know what you find. The examples I gave above are real, from many TMN members in the past who've had similar issues and reported back their findings. Just remember, it's not happening for no reason at all. TMN doesn't lie. I started writing more here and then started another topic.

My beta gives anyone the ability to run TMN on any computer they'd like. Run it locally on a Docker images I've prepared for you or install it on any web sever, with or without SSL. It only takes 2 files, a total of 1800 bytes of code on your end. What speed will you see between two wired 1 GbE? Exactly what you'd expect to see, watch for yourself. tmn-on-my-server.mp4 The Mac and Windows machines are fairly distant, non-direct routes. The connection traverses 2 switches, then the router, then another switch also adding in about 100 ft of cable before it arrives. Not lab conditions, I wanted all of those real world variables. If you inspect I think you'll agree, TMN's results are pretty exact. tl&dr So average 916 Mbps | 904 Mbps. Adding 6% network overhead you get to 971 Mbps | 958 Mbps. Which is right in line with what we see coming across the interface in reality. I did the same LAN testing when developing the current version (v18) you're using now, always do. But now I'm giving the ability to do it yourself, super quick. ... I've also done that before but not like this. This is very different. Cut and paste a few commands into Terminal or PowerShell and you're running local tests on all your devices in a few seconds. You can also audit all of the code and understand the entire container in just a few seconds. Pretty excited to share that with you all. Curious how people will use it.

Sorry I dropped off, like I said, was getting back to writing the beta. It's taken on a life of its own, controlling me into building more. In a good way. Never enough hours though. If I think of anything that might help more I'll update this thread. Please let us know if you figure out anything solid on your end.

Reboot the computer, router and modem and give it another try. Testing with the same options as you and the test runs as expected so I don't think there are issues on my end.

Currently the multithread option only works on download tests. The new beta multithreads upload, https://testmy.net/ipb/topic/34612-beta-testers-welcome/. Hasn't been released yet but I'm getting it ready. I suspect you may get faster speed in the multithread upload test. Other speed tests multithread by default. So you may be able to get > 300 Mbps upload but that's when combining multiple uploads together. You'll probably only be able to upload a single file at the speed TMN is showing you. It's all in how you look at it, I'd personally call that 52 Mbps not 300 Mbps. My new test will help you see the difference. Most people just want to see the big number but depending on the circumstance the same device can have a faster result either way. I see the linear test blow away multithread on my 4G connections sometimes, other times it's the other way around or it's even. Sometimes the extra connections help and sometimes they can hurt. So I think it's always best to test both ways. 52 or 300 Mbps, actually both awesome results in that test in my opinion. You'll definitely score much higher with the new test. Vote on that topic and I'll send you an invite when it's ready. I believe your ISP should deliver 300 Mbps in a single upload. If you're showing 52 Mbps then it's safer to say that you have 52 Mbps. You can stream up to that level, not 300 Mbps. If you see this across all computers on your network it may be a limitation of your ISP. Can also point to local network issues, we've even seen modem swaps fix issues like this. People will get like 10 Mbps upload on TMN but normal speed on all other tests.... they swap out the cable modem and TMN reports normal speed again, back in line with the other tests. Cases like those prove that other speed tests are a waste of your time. They've proven over and over that you really can't trust them to help you. My goal is to help you.

I agree, if it's across so many devices you should look to the common denominator. This is why I suggested that you test directly wired to the modem. You said you already did this but when? How were you testing? If you can show the ~40 Mbps linear result on a computer with a fresh OS install, directly connected to the modem it will reasonably prove that something is either wrong with the modem, connection to the modem (cable or adapter) or Spectrum. We have to eliminate all those variables, have you tried that combination yet? You may be able to get 200 on one that drops down to 40... but did you ever get 40 on the fresh install (win11)? From what I saw, it looked like that machine never showed a drop like the others.

It doesn't prove anything if the test is only capable of seeing things through a distorted lens. It can be a bunch of different issues that we've proven over and over are not detectable with other speed tests. Something is preventing you from scoring well, it's not TMN and I don't really think it's Spectrum. It appears to be a localized issue. Sorry that's not what you want to hear. Your speed improved when you booted the fresh win11 install, right? I think something you have installed or some setting is messing things up.

other speed test ≠ testmy.net They're testing different and don't look at the result the same way as I do. You say you're having problems. Why would you trust the other test's results ever after they've shown it working correctly when it obviously isn't?
