https://testmy.net/ho...ory/harvard.edu This is one of many schools that are now being detected because of the change I made yesterday... pathetic speeds, huh. I hope those are off WiFi or something. If that's what they give in the dorms, just lame. Arizona (ASU) and California (UCI) look better https://testmy.net/ho...ats/arizona.edu https://testmy.net/hoststats/uci.edu Georgia tech too.. https://testmy.net/hoststats/gatech.edu ... but Harvard... super weak for such a powerful school. Thread Update: You can now see an up-to-date listing of schools that have had recent tests taken. This will eventually be ranked. For more information please visit > Schools and University's Speed Test Results

Cool, so you're going to have a home weather station? I bet that would come in handy where you live... Kinda pointless in Arizona since it only rains once a year -- so I have no idea about that stuff. I just wanted to say... COOOOOL. Anyone else?

No more Unknown hosts. I've taken care of it. ... Because the data is being stored a little differently in the database for this upgrade it will take me some time to gather some data and flip over the FULL conversion of this upgrade. For now, if you were being detected as "Unknown" the data is being stored in the old table a little differently.. The hosts with underscores in the name most likely would have returned 'unknown' before. After I turn on all the features of this upgrade (as I said, after I gather sufficient data) the hosts will be displayed by their correct name, minus underscores, cut offs and other things I had to do to make the data compatible with the old format. nJoy! - CA3LE

I would feel ripped off too. You're paying for internet, not a local area connection in Atlanta... right? This is just the kind of information that I try to educate people on with this website. I feel that this is happening allot more than people think and in many cases ISPs are not delivering what they're quoting. This is also why I don't have servers every 50 miles. I don't feel that testing so close is an accurate depiction of your internet connection. A true test of a provider is the quality peering relationships that they have. Some providers love sending users to tests that draw information down the street... then they say, "well, there you go... it's running correctly." -- How is that running correctly if you can only get your speeds to their servers... stupid. And you're smart for not falling for it. funny... In years past many more ISPs used to send users here... until they realized that my methods expose their weaknesses. ... don't get me started. I'm sorry, but if they can only deliver 5Mbps when you barely leave the state... they need to sell their service as 5Mbps. Who cares what speed you get in ATL, how often do you think you're on a server in ATL? And if they can't peer well with my provider, they suck. I get my bandwidth from the largest names in the game. So, yeah... I think you're being ripped off, given the information you've told me.

Seriously, but I would bet you a thousand bucks that would violate your contract. Would be awesome though, open a neighborhood WiFi and charge people... get a free GigE connection out of it. ... too bad you'd be sued if the provider ever found out. That's why they have business class... and charge out the ass for it.

I see why you titled this "Man..." -- that's exactly what I thought, "Man, I want that!" One day my friend... one day. If it was available here I'd pay the $350 and get it for sure. That would totally be worth it. 1000Mbps, at home... damn.

I'm now also showing a form field that you can cut it from by hand if flash isn't available... failsafe option. I should have some apps in 2012... going to be allot of work though.

Werd... yeah, there was a shit load of bugs I've had to work out over the last 48 hours after the mirror addition. There was more to that addition than it appears. I had to make it function the way it does without having duplicate information. If I just through a clone of the site online search engines would ding me for the duplicate content. Thanks for helping me spot that, one of those variable specific errors that I could duplicate on my end no matter how hard I tried. But we nailed it down in the end, working on that also helped me refine allot more code so it was a good bug in the end. I've worked all day and all night until the Sun came up for pretty much the past week straight. God, I hope I'm at a point that I can take a little break. System seems to be kicking out number the way it should, no anomalies... so I might get to have a weekend! WOO HOO!

I think I trying to do something the wrong way... I've redesigned the function that prevents that from happening. OKAY... try it NOW! lol

try now

k, one min.

lemme check it out... one min try now... should have a max of 4 attempts.

There, you should be able to set your default now.

I should have a default option tomorrow. I'm seeing nearly 2400 results dating back to Mid-May for your username https://testmy.net/quickstats/dedelano -- if you're not seeing everything it may be because a filter of some sort is on. Clicking the default button will reset your search options. This is because the database search options carry over, so if you search for the past 7 days... next time you load your stats "7 Days" will automatically load for you. When you run the auto test and the test completes it defaults to "1 Day" - it doesn't change that to your default BUT if you happen to query from that page it will set the default to "1" because that's what's entered on that page. Just click default and only the necessary cookies will be reset... I added that button because although that normally saves time, it does sometimes need to be reset.

He died yesterday actually. We have a topic about it at

There we go... now people can tell the difference right in the image... this also now shows all the other identifiers as well. Here's some from my recent collection...

I tried.. but I can't beat you. I seem to get better speeds to D.C. too. Here's the default server... So funny because we're all the way in AZ, D.C. is like twice as far away than the TX server. Proves that you don't have to test on a server 50 miles from you --- because this is the EXACT same system on both servers. ... I'm going to make it so you can tell what server the test was taken on in the share image...

Lots of good points... We're testing your internet... not showing you fireworks... stunning graphics get in the way of the test more than anything you've described.. native or not, it's a waste of resources. Why? So it can look pretty. That's the furthest concern from my mind... If you're waiting it's because of the page loads in between things right now... I'll explain in the next section... Easily solved with more development... development time that I think is better spent on the web application. ...work in some AJAX. Problem solved. ... It's not like its even a problem right now. Seriously, how long do you wait for your results page.... if it takes THAT long then you're getting to see a SECOND benchmark while you wait for something to load that shouldn't take more than a second. Even when I'm on the shittiest connections the results load instantly for me, so I really don't know what you're talking about there. Yeah, I remember that poorly executed genius idea that came too far ahead of its time... yeah I know what you're talking about. We are on a TOTALLY different infrastructure now. Once symmetrical fiber is commonplace ALL BETS ARE OFF. Video games, graphics editing... I don't care what it is. You'll still be able to compute locally but WHY? If you can do the same thing with nothing more than a input device and monitor. If you think I'm wrong... read this in 5 years. Updates can be pretty annoying on Android... unnecessary in the digital world I envision. As for space, you're right. My point to talking about hard drive space is why waste ANY of your resources when you don't have to... that's an extra MP3 or a 50 pictures Since when do people hate websites on iPhone and Android? NO NO NO.. you've got it WAY wrong... people hate websites that don't view or or work correctly on those devices. I'm sorry but I'm personally in my browser 100X more than apps. I search the internet before the market or app store. --- There are obviously people out there that think differently from me but my question is... if websites worked better, would they still seek out the market or app store? That's true... but why not just build a really bad ass web application... then encapsulate it within a lightweight app that renders the browser? If exposure is the only real benefit... ... I just want to make sure my time gets spent in the right areas. I don't want to have 100 different versions out there... I want ONE unified website. Not a website an two apps, which would surely yield different results from each other... that's not a benchmark.

I want to build iOS and Android apps for TestMy... but I still don't get it. Why use an app for something that can be done through the browser? Is it that hard to type "testmy.net" --- hell, in many cases you can just type "testmy"... why waste your local resources? Let my server run most of the program for you. ...am I missing something? Am I getting too old to get it? Do people like having a bunch of crap they need to update all the time? I just hope that the world realizes one day that you don't need apps... AT ALL... FOR ANYTHING. (except offline) That goes for personal computers as well. Everything can be done through the browser, especially more so in the future. I'm trying my hardest to design this website to just run in any web browser and I'm constantly evolving the program. If you're looking for a speed test app for your Android or iOS device you'd do better to just open your default web browser and bookmark testmy.net... easy as that. Nothing to download, no security permissions to mess with and updates are transparent. So please, let's open this for discussion. Why waste your disk space? If you can sell me on the idea of why TestMy needs a mobile app, I'll build it. Seriously. --- Think about this first, the benefit of having apps versus a website in many cases is the offline ability they have... what's the point of a speed test app if you're not online. ... come on, sell me... I dare you. - CA3LE

Steve, you'll be missed. The world needs more innovative minds like yours. He's changed the lives of everyone who has ever touched a computer. Very sad, so young. He's alive... he's immortal actually. He's alive in every piece of technology he was a part of... and every piece of technology that lends credit to his work. Steve Jobs is one of those people who may die in body... but he'll live forever in humanity.

I played with uncapping in the late 90's and early 00's.. via TFTP crap, old school. But I haven't wanted to do that for years, I don't want to get caught and banned... I have a business to run and I need the fastest internet. In Phoenix Cox is hands down the best. ... it was fun to trick the system though. I was doing it back then to uncap the lame ass 128 Kbps upload... BOOM, symmetrical 3Mbps! -- sounds so slow these days. lol

... Pretty nice having that second testing location to clear up an routing issues... EXACTLY like this case.

That's server to server... I effen wish that was my home connection. That would be SICK!

Hell... maybe even three times!

Thanks for letting me know. It was actually correct... I just hadn't synced it with the dc server. I'm going to have to setup rsync to make sure the servers are synced. You should be all good now. Basically how I have it setup is the SUBmenu will give you links to dc.testmy.net -- the main menu (dark gray) escapes to the main server. You guys will get it. I try to design things to the point that it's self explanatory... but it's hard because as a designer you have to design things for people that don't always think the same way as you. Let me know if you spot anything else... I'm pretty confident that I squashed this one though, funny thing is... I already had done that, I just only uploaded it to one server......... the server that doesn't even need those variables. (lol, look at my max speed right now)
