CA3LE

Maybe my own forum can help me... for the millionth time. I rarely post questions but it's still taught me allot of what I know. The past few days my modem or router seems to be locking at around 14Mbps. I feel like it's using one channel or something. Here's the query https://testmy.net/st...=3&l=25&q=CA3LE ... see all of the 14Mbps scores... almost exactly the same, every time. Taken on different computers too. (bet most of you didn't know you could combine two of the same type into one share image, huh?) Now I should probably take my own advice and connect the modem directly to first eliminate the router as a variable. But I've got too many things going on right now to take my network down. Plus, it really seems to me to be the modem... I've done this stuff for a long time, at this point I can feel where the problem is... that's my only way to describe that, lol. Why is it doing that? I thought maybe someone else knew what I was talking about and could save me from having to troubleshoot it. I can get my connection speed, or close to it on usenet. But it takes forever to ramp up. On usenet, to get to ~6000 kB/s or 46Mbps I had to download 275MB+ of information. e.g. Usually, I go from zero to full speed pretty much instantly. (giganews) What do you think? HAHAHA ... and as always, speedtest.net has NO IDEA that there is even a problem. Even though there is OBVIOUSLY a problem. Seriously guys, help me get the word out... the evidence is so stacked against their tests, why does everyone use them!!?? AHHH!

Check out this post... I don't just think it will help you, I know it will. -D

Welcome to the site RfrankNRTC, thanks for the input. I really appreciate it. With the automatic test you can also set minimum and maximum sizes now. So now you have even more control over that stuff. Keep visiting and please pass the word along.

Remember, if the test is testing through a 3rd party application... like Macromedia Flash, which is what all the other major speed tests use e.g. speedtest.net, speakeasy.com ... all of the ookla speed tests. It's by passing any issues you may have with browser configuration. TestMy.net uses only your browser, so it's more sensitive to issues like that... as well as others. Many connection issues seem to escape the other speed tests... but these people have more than enough evidence that they have an issue. Like mudmanc4 said, I offer multiple locations, so if routing is ever an issue it will be evident by trying the mirrors. If you get around the same, crappy score on all the servers then you have something you should look into.

Because of the technology they use there are limitations to the accuracy of those tests. This is a very common question and problem that we often get asked about here. Please read >> https://testmy.net/ip...m-speedtestnet/ Thanks, I hope you like TestMy.net - CA3LE

Yeah, I'm kinda generically using the X axis... it's being used to display extra information instead of time.

Alright, I had to visit... think and revisit a couple of times but it should be all hashed out. Should work great for you guys... let me know if it doesn't - CA3LE

Okay, never mind I took care of it.. now I'm off to dinner. I'll hash out some extra details later. Let me know about any bugs

I just realized that some people were wanting to enter a minimum size as well. I'll work that in as well... off to dinner now

Hey esalcedo, I'm a man of my word. I said I would rock this out for you when I got back to work... I just got done adding that feature so I wanted to let you know. Please re-visit the Automatic Speed Test page I think that you'll find it does what you're looking for now. ~NJoy! A related topic that helped push me to add this quicker... https://testmy.net/ip...362#entry333362

Yes... I know. I'm kinda crazy... but I worked that up for you already. You can now select the maximum sizes and granted that there are no bugs it should stay within the parameters your set. Check it out at >> https://testmy.net/auto I think you'll find it does exactly what you were looking for. Please let me know if you spot anything buggy or weird. ~NJoy! Note that the upload test isn't as dynamic as the the download test with the way it draws it's files. So it's not going to give you the exact size, rather the closest match it under the max size you set. (something non-critical that's being addressed by version 13)

Hey jdpalmer, welcome to TestMy.net I'm actually on the drawing board with that right now. A few people have asked me for this. I should have those controls built in... heck, I may be able to get it done tonight. I think I've pretty much got it all built in there I just need to give users access to be able to control it that way. I'll let you know what I come up with. I've gone over it in my head, pretty much written... shouldn't take me too long.

This is why I still use my Logitech MX5500. I like the feel of a regular keyboard. But as I get more used to the thin keyboard on the iMac I don't find myself on on my mini using the MX5500. Although, I do have a very unorthodox typing method... I think it came about first because I didn't like typing the way teachers wanted me to. Second, I think it was my natural way of protecting myself from carpal tunnel... both of my hands use both sides of the keyboard, sometimes, hard to explain. I also look at the keys allot. It's a weird style but I can type 60-90wpm that way and well over 100wpm in programming... home row style I can only achieve 35-45wpm. I think that the new thin apple keyboard has made me faster actually. Not at first but after I got used to it. The keys are more sensitive but also precise at the same time... you'd think it would be easy to hit the wrong key but it isn't. Sometimes I feel my finger brush the wrong key but check and it seems to never register. You have to hit the key just right with purpose and they do with without interfering with regular typing. I also seem to flow without having to lift my fingers as much. I always thought the new apple keyboards were beautiful in design but I'm starting slowly I'm starting to favor overall. ... ideally my next input device would just connect to my mind. Screw typing!

... Logitech doesn't even provide side profile pictures so I'm not even sure if there is a added benefit of being thin or something. Sounds like we agree then. STUPID! If I was going to go spend $60 on a Mac keyboard... sorry Logitech, I'm still getting the Apple Keyboard. Do you think Steve Jobs ever thought, "Hummm, for this new keyboard... should I spend the extra money on a solar panel that makes no sense or build it out of a solid piece of precision Aluminum..."

I was pulling a link off Logitech's website and noticed a solar keyboard. http://www.logitech....4?WT.ac=ps|8604 Which is fine and dandy... but now they need to make one for programmers that run on caffeine and insomnia since our keyboards don't really see the light of day. ... seriously though, I kinda think it's dumb. How often do you change your batteries on your keyboard anyway? My fingers are constantly tapping away and I've only used about 3-4 sets of batteries in the last 12 months... seems like more of a gimmick than a truly useful feature. What do you guys think?

In the case of the magic mouse ... just because it only has one button doesn't mean it only has one button. It just knows how to do more with less. You can do what dlewis23 said, also if you don't have a trackpad or don't have that gesture setup you can always HOLD 'control' then click. There are multiple ways to secondary click in OSX. OR, you can always hook up any USB or bluetooth mouse that you would use for a PC. I use a Logitech MX5500 Revolution (keyboard and mouse) on my mac mini. You can do everything on a Mac that you can on PC... just better and with less frustration. They just work. Every time. I'm so happy with my 27" iMac that I'd even consider buying it again even if it cost twice as much. ... that's how valuable it is to me and the work I do. I do allot of computer environment testing --- My iMac is running Mac OSX Lion, Windows 7 32bit, Windows 7 64bit, Ubuntu (4 versions), Linux Mint, Debian, Redhat, Mandrake, Fedora... and about 10 other operating systems... I can run them all at the same time if I want to. You can virtualize on PC's too... but I don't think it runs nearly as well as on my setup. ... and seriously, have you seen a more beautiful, elegant machine. If a computer could be sexy... the aluminum iMac would make a nice pin-up model. Thanks Apple! Please understand that people that talk trash about you are ignorant... they'll understand and succumb your ways eventually. (by the way, this is coming from someone who HATED Apple with a passion through the 90's - now I'll never switch back. Even if you paid me.)

The information is correct in the graph, it's being plotted as Mbps but shows in the details as Kbps, because it's under 1Mbps. The numbers are correct though.

COD rules... especially when it's not being choked by a crappy connection. I've been playing specialist so much I haven't even got a M.O.A.B. yet... Having too much fun with specialist, I just feel so over powered with the extra perks. too much fun...

Trust me, the results you're seeing here can be trusted more than any flash speed test. It's raw form data upload, as if you were really uploading something to... say... youtube for instance. ... nice speed though for sure - I bet it feels more responsive since you fixed it.

That was obviously a script that was in dire need of updates. I made the necessary corrections and added some new functionality as well. The speed test score now exports converted 4 ways. Kbps, Mbps, kB/s and MB/s -- this should make it easier for anyone that may be exporting to make their own graphs... also why I leave the data raw like it is. I also gave it the ability to transcribe the extra ID information. (I actually store that in the database as a number, not text... it saves space. Those numbers now resolve.) Please let me know if you see anything else that I might miss. I'm just one guy, with the world as my debugger. Thanks for the help! I always appreciate any input, thanks again. - Damon

Thanks for bringing that to my attention. I've corrected the issue... That script hadn't been updated to offset time automatically. Can you confirm the correction please?

Sorry I haven't had a chance to stop in yet... baby and writing code.

You shouldn't have to do anything... it isn't your responsibility to program your modem, it's your providers. I have the same modem, my receive and link are always blue... What level of service do you have with them? 3.0 only really matters if you have a very high level of service. Like 30, 40, 50 Mbps and faster. Their system may be connecting you at 2.0 because of the level of service you've ordered. ... that's my guess

This information comes from Toshiba, written 8/2010 I hope this helps. If there is an option to do so I highly recommend installing minimally... this will make sure that a bunch of BS toshiba software isn't installed. This is actually not a bad idea with any factory Windows computer... even brand new out of the box, load up that recovery partition and reinstall minus all the BS. Saves tons of resources and headaches from annoying software you didn't want in the first place. Your computer will thank you. Also, another thing to consider is if you formatted/partitioned the drive since you bought it. If so... unless you were careful you most likely deleted your recovery partition. In which case, your computer should have come with a DVD to install windows... but your recovery option is lost forever because that partition is needed. -D

Click 'share & export' on your results page https://testmy.net/quickstats/Pgoodwin1 or click 'share' next to the score you want to share. iPad doesn't have flash so my system defaults you to my old legacy graphing system. But that shouldn't effect your ability to share.
