Hey David, I just put a new server online in D.C. -- Give it a try and see if your results are any different from the main server.... .... I'm sitting here typing this, then I notice TriRan beat me to it! bah! http://dc.testmy.net/ !

No problem, I need more servers. You just gave me a good excuse to do it. Yeah, I'm still working on it. There's going to most likely be issues and bugs with it for a while. It a humungous upgrade... luckily I've written the prerequisites for this already and have been planning it in the back-end over the past 14 months... --- I think I can just clone this server I setup today and open more from here. Maybe one more in the US, in Seattle... one in Amsterdam and One in Singapore. That should cover most of the worlds population... don't get me wrong, they can still test to the US server... I feel that's a great benchmark. But they'll also be able to test on a server closer to home, using TestMy.net's technology. ... so yeah, your post opened a can of worms. As for Dallas, I'm sure they'll fix it promptly. They actually replied a loooong time ago but I got off on a tangent setting up that server. Anyways, here's their response. I've given them your subnet to trace. If they have a problem on their end they'll fix it. I'll let you know when I know more.

So weird that you'd have a routing issue to Dallas... when I'm in the same city... same ISP and I'm not seeing an issue. The internet is weird. At least we now have a second server to test with... Man, see what you started thomasrelee... you make a post and less than 24 hours after I read it TMN's got an extra server online. D.C. has some sweet bandwidth too, very happy with the new server

I'm not done configuring but if you guys want to give it a try ... http://dc.testmy.net/

This new server I'm setting up is sweet https://testmy.net/st...=25&z=8&q=CA3LE Just messing around in VNC before any real configuration. I'm already planning Amsterdam and Singapore after I'm done configuring this one. I worked a deal with my host. So folks in Europe and Asia will be happy to hear that.

... I'm just waiting for them to get the new server online. I got it in D.C. -- they have PoP through Chicago but no datacenter. They just opened datacenters in Amsterdam and Singapore so after I get this configured we'll see about opening up some stuff for the folks over seas. ... it will take me some time to get this configured.

Here's the bandwidth to the various datacenters I work with http://www.softlayer.com/advantages/network/carriers Washington D.C. has some sick bandwidth...

I'd really like to know why to does that though. Theplanet told me once (why it does it on the host end) but I've forgotten now.

D.C. isn't bad Still waiting on a response...

I was thinking the same thing. It's a big expense but I think it's about time to add another server. I think having a second location to another major internet hub will clear up ANY confusion about route. I only use dedicated servers, so I'm sorry that I haven't put more online yet. But if you want the quality of test that I strive for you HAVE to go dedicated. VPS doesn't cut it, too many variables from other people on the server... makes for a very bad platform. The way that I do it is more expensive but it ensures that no BS is bleeding into the results. ---- I can guarantee you that the other guys don't care as much about stuff like that. I could have put 100 shitty VPS servers along time ago. Trust me, I explored the idea and it's well within the sites budget but I feel it's not the right way. The only way to be sure about the variables is to have full control over them. Dedicated... and then if you go dedicated you might as well get at least 8 cores, dual gigabit... etc. I kinda want to just order it up... I've been thinking about it for a long time. hummm

[update] Opened a ticket with the datacenter to make sure there isn't any routing issues that I have control over. ... I'll let you know when they update me.

You know Cox in our area is quoting Ultimate as 55Mbps / 5.5Mbps not 50/5 now. --- at least that's what came up on Cox's website the other day. I think I'll be throwing a second server online so that people can have a second TestMy.net location to test to... to help clear up any question to routing issues. Maybe I'll put it to a vote what city I put it in. I definitely want to put it far away from the main server. ... hummm Hop 8 doesn't seem to be responding correctly in a couple of those tracerts -- that may be within my host. ... 8 te2-4.dsr01.dllstx3.networklayer.com (70.87.255.38) 236.022 ms 220.118 ms 220.042 ms I'll let the datacenter know

No, but you may have a routing issue that's only effecting curtain sites that you visit. Here's a random test I just ran. Cox Communications in Phoenix Arizona, over 1000 miles from TestMy.net's server. Things are running great on TestMy.net's end. If they weren't I wouldn't be able to max my connection out like that... not to mention all the other users running normal tests (live). Are you experiencing problems anywhere else? Run a traceroute and post your findings... To run a traceroute... Windows Start > Run > type CMD [enter] > from the command prompt type tracert google.com and/or tracert testmy.net Linux / Mac Under Applications/Utilities open 'Terminal' > type traceroute google.com and/or traceroute testmy.net Paste those results here. You definitely have a very abrupt change. https://testmy.net/stats/?&t=u&d=10022011&x=60&l=100&q=dedelano

I actually haven't heard of them yet. Your results look pretty decent for satellite https://testmy.net/quickstats/fat61t Compare that to people on Direcway / Hughsnet, Wildblue and Starband -- I think you look pretty good.

That would be a hilarious April Fools page. ... and pretty weird for a speed test

wtf is this... haha, never played that Game named Amnesia that actually gives you amnesia. Sometimes you do get what you pay for.

No problem. I'm glad I could resolve that for you.

Are you still getting this error?

Ahh, you'd think I'd know what you're talking about... but I've never heard of those modules.

Please explain what in the hell you guys are talking about... lol

It's a kinda funny situation. My girlfriends Dad is renting his house to us. To make things easier we're just leaving the utilities in his name. We moved in yesterday and his previous level of service obviously wouldn't cut it for the stuff I do... so I thought I'd take the opportunity to display the before and after. DOCSIS 3 rules!

Thanks for the feedback zeddlar. I always appreciate it when someone takes the time to let me know what they think. -- thanks - CA3LE
