Here's a trick made just for you.

 

Visit this URL to enable and disable the filter algorithm that controls that.

You can define the sensitivity of what's included with an optional extra variable.  A value of 1-100 will change the outcome of what's included.  (e.g. iMcVar=2 querying the US right now is showing 37 ISPs, when I change that value to 80 the same query results in 407 ISPs listed, same query without that iMcVar variable results in 506 ISPs listed) 

https://testmy.net/?iMcVar=20  (change the value 2 to something between 1-100 -- a higher number includes more)

 

What I was doing in developing this option was opening two browser tabs/windows.  One with the query I wanted to modify and one with the 

https://testmy.net/?iMcVar=20 URL.  Then modify the iMcVar in one tab and refresh the other until it's displaying the right number of results.  Sometimes you might not want to include everything, it doesn't make sense most of the time to look at the ISPs who only have only 1 client testing.

 

These settings and many more hidden will be included in a new settings control panel.  No ETA but it is coming.

That is really very kind of you CA3LE, I am trying to figure out what company to jump to and here it is just pure pain, you're not sure of coverage, not sure of speed, quality, you just gamble and pay a fortune and sometimes you get nothing, depends on luck.

If you live here and look at the longer list of ISPs you will notice several names that belong under one name, I don't know why this is happening but it give you some idea about the chaos around here, there are results (ISP names) that I can't identify at all, just generic names, but that is not your fault of course.

Thank you for your help CA3LE

How would you pick the best ISP using this site?

I mean averages of some companies include slow offers 1 or 2 or 3 or 4Mbps or other areas in the city not covered by the higher speeds I could access

When you look at speeds history you can't tell what subscription the user is using, is it slow because the user subscribed to the lowest offer or the quality of his high speed offer is low.

Also some companies have several names, each name has different results.

Is there a better way to compare between ISPs?

You're welcome.

 

The number is different because in that example you're averaging the last 32407 results, in the other example you're averaging the last 50 (selectable up to 1000).

 

Depending on how many results you're averaging the average can change.

Thank you! I appreciate your help.

Welcome Johndoe,

 

You're seeing the average speed for your provider, the Speed Index is the current average of all users on TestMy.net.

 

Here's what it looks like on my computer right now...

 

The Speed Index changes throughout the day because the average speed fluctuates. 

Thanks CA3LE

What about the first number? (attached)

Please make all ISPs operating in a country available in one place?

I only see top 3 of them, I wish I could see a list of all of them where I can arrange them be speed.

Thank you

When I make a test or search providers, you give me the average speed of my provider 2.5 Mbps

When I click on my provider I see "Average Download Speed: 3.9 Mbps"

Then below it, "Current Download Speed Index: 14.6 Mbps"

Why 3 values? what is the difference between them? which one should I consider?
