No, not necessary to change anything. Just needed to know if it was going to stay that way. Yes, I know that it is kept here as well. I often add comments to my history file however including system loads, disk activity, general notes, etc. It came in handy when discussing an issue with my service provider while I did not have internet access.

It appears that at some point in the past couple of weeks, the data fields have changed in the .csv export files. Specifically, the "Size kB", "Score Kbps", and "Score kB/s". Is this now a permanent change? I keep a spreadsheet of historical data and need to know if I have to change my import procedures. As always, thanks for the time and effort. It is greatly appreciated.

excellent "response time" to the question and thanks very much! a very good answer to the question. i'm not sure that i would cut the time in half however, since the upstream and downstream can be rather different, though i don't know how you would measure the difference. and yes, i believe that many other things can affect your response time test. packet and/or transaction size, upstream vs. downstream pipe, data manipulation (if any), etc. all things considered, i think this is an excellent addition to the status report. good luck with the further development. p.s.: many thanks for this web site in general. it is indeed one of the best test sites (if not the best) available. i have found it's accuracy and consistency to be far above the others and i greatly appreciate your efforts.

when you click on results, the rightmost button under the graph is labelled as "My RT" (only appears when signed in as a user). when you click on it, it provides a history of "response times". can someone please explain what exactly is being tested and reported as "response time"? i would venture a guess that it is measuring some type of transaction request. but what exactly constitutes a "transaction" and what are the delimiting factors that define the start and end times?
