i voted...but i like the ads

Not sure, but I'll tell you this CA3LE, your site is the only site that I disable Add Block on. Cuz I like to support you by clicking on them when I see something interesting.

well here's my new build. up and running like a beast.

sorry for blurry images. i took them with my phone and my hands arent exactly steady.

as close to an instant cold boot to ready as humanly possible it seems lol. tried far cry 3 and bf3 ultra settings, cant even get a stutter if i try.  also had a video i edited in sony vegas 11 of a 30 minute hockey game i recorded from the ps3 and it only  took like 20 to 30 minutes to render and save from scratch. which the settings i used i figured it would have taken like 2 hours.
 
temperature wise...well here's a screenshot of my temps. (btw my gpu fan hasnt gone to 100% unless i make it manually. and the cpu fan i never mess with the speed, i keep it at just under 2000 rpm. as the push pull setup on the 130mm fans on the heatsink work fine LOL.
 


 
btw, this screenshot was taken after i had loaded up a game and stuff so the temps went down a bit, but still that is a badass temperature for overall anyway.
 
 
as a whole though, this thing is a frickin beast. im 110% happy with how it came out.

mudm  
hahaha can not do that ~~~ but i found the problem change NEW ORG TONER ....
now working good thankls~~~ 

I just changed my user agent to look like an Iphone and im looking at the site thru this skin.... Looks quite good! (Quite fast also)

I have A LOT of upcoming releases, many of which are going to be built around a new concept.  Because there is so much core programming being changed I'm going to do something I've never done.
 
I normally work on the site live and things are released as I write them... if your in the right place at the right time and you pay enough attention you can see me building sometimes.  Well, I really feel that the version I have out right now is INCREDIBLY stable... I don't want to disturb any testing or use of the site.  So I'm going to offer a beta program for those who wish to join.
 
To join, vote Yes on the poll above. I'll add you to a special member group and you'll be emailed with updates.  You'll also have an option in your menu that will allow you to switch between beta and release.  Smaller updates will be globally available but the major ones will be held back for the beta testers to play with first.  This will help find bugs before public release.  When I'm satisfied with the code I'll offer an option for a while to the general public to turn on the beta... after general public beta testing I'll then release it to the final.  We'll then start the whole process again for another round.
 
This is going to be really hard for me to do, I really hate to hold new stuff back.  But maybe doing it this way will help me spend less time on bug checking and more time of actually building.
 
I'm one person.  Your help with this is appreciated.  Everyone who has ever submitted a comment... you've already helped build this site.  I started with a vison but you guys expanded it.  If I'm going to keep bringing those ideas to paper I really need your help.  I have at least a couple thousand hours of programming planned just for the next 3-6 months. I need to use my time effectively, spending hundreds of hours searching for bugs is not using my time wisely.  Register (If you haven't already), vote yes above and I'll email you later when I have more information. Then, you can tell your friends that you helped build this site.  
 
Thanks

Seems to be a running 'thing' - we just had nearly the same 'thing' this morning.
 
Great hosts give plenty of warning time.

I'm paying $24 a month
promised speed is 7.2 mbps down
 
It's a true unlimited HSPA+ plan from one of our local carriers here...Since it's it's unlimited, I'm using it for my home internet...

Thank you!

Yes. Absolutely it works. I use a Mac with Safari, and an iPad and iPhone with iOS Safari. They both work fine.

Hi TomMN, sorry for the long reply... maybe you'll stick with it and read it, maybe not.  I just want you and others to understand why the results here can differ.  Sometimes I start writing and don't realize how much I've written... 
 



TestMy.net is it's own benchmark. Look at the results here differently than you do other speed tests. TestMy.net by default tests a single thread, multithread testing options will be available in the future. I'm going to offer the option to multithread but the default will remain the same because I believe it's a better benchmark as it uncovers connection issues that a multithreaded speed test results mask.
 
Multithreading, in case you don't know, is where you open multiple connections, and combine the results.  Your connection should NOT need to do this to pull big numbers.  Look at my signature... many of my tests are taken from THOUSANDS of miles from the servers. If you want to REALLY benchmark your connection, you need to test it under real world conditions not best case senario.  TestMy.net is by design NOT a best case senario... the Internet doesn't operate under best case senario... 
 
Your provider has too much at stake, especially someone as big as Comcast. If they do the test in a certain way and display the results in a certain way they aren't really lying.... look at my TiP data with each download test.  That shows you clearly that it's ALL in how the numbers are interpreted.  I could show you any of those numbers and call it my result.... what I do with TestMy.net is show you EVERYTHING taken into account in your final logged number.  
 
There are lots of things that can cause your result to drop like that.  We have a 2006 Macbook that could only get around 30 Mbps on TestMy.net, on a 50Mbps cable connection. The connection was perfectly fine... I swapped out the HDD for a SSD, rebooted and was pulling over 50Mbps.  TestMy.net is weird sometimes... I designed it and it baffles me sometimes how good it is at it's job.  Trust me... you're getting that score for a reason.  You might be pulling your speed under the right circumstances but you're not truly running at 100%. If you fix the issues causing that it will make your browsing experience snappier.
 
Having said that, that's not a bad score.  It could be hard drive performance slowing you down... TMN is the only speed test that I know of that is effected like that.  As you use your browser things are being written to cache... if your HDD is under performing then that process is slowed.  If it can be changed and it effects the results... it's a variable that needs to be accounted for.  TMN does a good job of cluing you into stuff like that where others fail.    ... maybe they do that on purpose to cut down on service calls, I don't know.  I just know that TMN time and again shows a problem where others don't.  
 



 If you're on Windows, try TCP optimizer from Speedguide.net -- we get lots of positive feedback on that, for MANY years. Most operating systems don't come optimized out of the box for connections like yours... if you want to really tune your performance you need your MTU set at 1500 on cable.  If you used to have DSL it may be set at 1492 which will degrade your performance on cable (and vice versa).  Something else that TMN detects... where others seems to fail to notice.    ... it can REALLY degrade your performance too.  Symptoms of MTU or RWIN settings set wrong will be a speed lock. I often see it displayed as between 8-10 Mbps on connections that should get 2X higher speeds.  If this is the case you will see the same approximate speed or lower to all servers.  With you running 38Mbps... it might be something else.
 
... by the way, Comcast is one of many ISPs that my host has direct peering with. So you should have a pretty direct route to all my servers. Try the server in Washington D.C. and Seattle WA... see what you get there
 
TestMy.net should be a tool in your arsenal, use it as a clue.  If you have an apparent 60 Mbps pipe into your house but can only pull 38Mbps, there is a reason.  Routing, client end settings, router issues, modem issues... we see it all.  One thing is always the same, TestMy.net is correct in its assessment.  I guarantee you that if everything is perfectly in order you'll pull your speed.  Trust me Tom... this isn't my first rodeo.  10 years before Comcast started sending their customers to their own speed test... their customer service reps were sending people here.  The truth is, I don't make them look as good. But I don't care, I didn't build this for the ISPs. I built it for you.

Why Do My Results Differ From Speedtest.net / Ookla Speed Tests?

Yes. TestMy.net works with all popular modern browsers without any plugins or downloads. As long as you have JavaScript enabled in your browser... which is the default... you'll be able to use everything on this site.

Haha my name is a result of slight dyslexia caused from not being sober. It's basically a misspelling of lunatik, a gamer tag I've used since I was a kid.
 
I did some pretty good researching to find a location with these speeds. The node can be seen from outside my back sliding door, I'd say about 30ft away.
 
I used to hate comcast but they really seem to be improving lately. I can't comprehend how road runner as a company is rated higher. 

Probably a issue along the route to Texas these things are very common

lol

Your upload speeds are what my download speeds are.

Well your upload speeds are my download speeds.

Holy crap tommie? that's bad

Thanks TunaLik,      (do you 'like' Tuna... or do you 'lick' Tuna. trying figure out your nick.   )
 
Always good to see things working as they should.  Thanks for the feedback!
 
Nice connection!
 

Comcast $120

Pretty accurate speeds tests this site has. I do a lot of uploading and your speed test matches what I typically see.

Hello all,
 
I currently subscribe to Windstream Communications for my aDSL service. My aDSL speeds are supposed to be 6Mbps/768kbps . I know that I will rarely see my speeds exactly on the nose for those numbers, I've seen my speeds fluctuate all of the time. My upload speed is pretty consistent, but my download speed is...bad.
 
I've had no problems with Windstream for several years, they have always been pretty reliable with only seeing downtimes when they have scheduled maintenance. Last year in June I started having sporadic download speeds (happy birthday to me). I have been told several times that they see no problems with my connection, of course they are only pinging my modem, I assume, with a small packet. I have had the technicians, the ones that come to my home, tell me the area is oversubscribed. I have had the phone technicians tell me the DSLAM for my area is old, or ill-repaired, or over subbed. I have been told that there have been scheduled maintenance dates to resolve my issue (July '12, Nov '12, Jan '13, Feb '13). I am receiving a $10 a month credit to my account for the issue.
 
My speeds during the day are acceptable, fluctuating between 4 and 5.5Mbps. My download speeds in the evening are anywhere from .05kbps to 900kbps. It is a bit absurd if you ask me.
 
Things I have done.
 
Scanned/ensured I have no malicious code on my PC (As a information security major I better not have any lol)
Speed Tests on multiple sites including this one
tracert to different web sites - all low ms
ping to different web sites - all low ms
Power cycled my equipment
Replaced the modem/upgraded the modem
Checked the customer connections on my home for corrosion
 
What else can I do to ensure this company fixes their issue. I am about to file with the FCC, BBB, and attend the next city council meeting to see if we can get competition for this company in our town. The only competition they have is a cable company and the cable company is worse (if you can believe that) and the reason I switched to DSL in the first place.
 
I do play online games, but my priorities are with my online school. Sometimes I have virtual labs, remote sessions, and videos to watch. The best time for me is in the evening when I am home from working.
 
What can I do?

Maybe the test they're using multithreads the upload... maybe it only takes the best portion of the result into consideration...
 
You know that you have a problem, right? You experience this problem all over the place, right? Then you need to tell your ISPs techs that their test is bullshit. They need to hear that EVERY day. Then tell them the alternative that obviously works and reflects the actual health of the connection. TestMy.net  -- They could save their customers from the kind of headache that you're dealing with.
 
Wouldn't it be easier if they used a test that didn't overstate the connection? The tests they use ignore important factors that reduce your speed, they also multithread which can make things look better... and then they test too close. How can it be a test of the Internet if you're not even leaving your city or state... often with those ISP tests you don't even leave the providers network? How can it be a true test when the results are altered?  We need to make them understand... THAT'S NOT AN INTERNET TEST!  --- maybe that's just my opinion. But you and MANY MANY MANY people tell us that their ISPs test often doesn't reflect the performance they see online or on TestMy.net... 
 
Your ISP shouldn't have to only be upheld to their own standards.  They should be willing to be scrutinized by third parties. I'm up for examination by anyone that wants to.  Get a network inspector of some sort, something that graphs the interface. (Realize that you're not looking for a byte for byte, bit for bit comparison, there are more factors after your interface that result in overhead. So what you read on the interface can be around 5-7% off from the speed that could be perceived by an Internet speed test. But the general plot of the graph and the figures give you more than enough evidence to prove my point.) Now run a test using your ISPs speed test. Compare that graph with the results and you'll find that they HAVE to be calculating on their own algorithm... because it doesn't line up with the interface. Seems to me that ISP tests are often more of a judge of the maximum achievable speed. Now, do the same thing with TestMy.net. You'll quickly realize that I know what I'm talking about here. I have a LARGE number of people that keep me in check, including myself. If I make even a minor mistake in calculation or if anything is off... my inbox lights up light the 4th of July. It's my trusty team of double checkers, you know who you are. I TRULY appreciate their input, listening to them and using their input has made TestMy.net into what I believe is the most accurate and feature laden speed test online. I hope you agree, if not... you must like being lied to.  
 
I'll be posting youtube videos soon where I'll compare the network interface results vs TestMy.net and other popular speed tests. Some of these other tests are really funny. They use laughably small amounts of data for testing and some of them I have no idea where they pull their numbers from... because they don't correspond with anything that's actually happening.  A lot of them will show like 15 Mbps of upload, looks like stuff is happening... all intense...  then I look at the interface and I'm uploading 3.5 kB/s (my idle). Just stupid and that was an ISP test from a top 10 ISP in the US using the most popular speed test software. Then they expect their customers to rely on that information... and then tell their techs to ONLY rely on those results.   .... It's not going to surprise me if a class action is filed when someone proves that they're knowingly providing inflated test results to cut down on service calls. It's a lot easier to blame the problem on everyone else (e.g. "...it's the websites your visiting.") when you have a little test that makes your customers feel like their getting their moneys worth.

aw mudman, you just beat me. i had been surfing through my profile and noticed that. When the heck did it even get introduced as a feature???? lol its cool. i just had no idea about it.
