TestMySeemsWrong

What makes you think the ookla speed test is giving you the truth? Just because your ISP says you get "up to 5Mbps", that doesn't mean your throughput from the Internet is at that plan max.

 

go read all the tabs here. It will help you understand that many ookla based speed tests were picked by ISPs just because they were created to show a high speed

Come on, are you not reading what I wrote there? I did not ascertain my internet speed just from the ookla results. I mentioned that after my testmy.net results were complete, I downloaded something, and I got proper speeds there! That proves that testmy.net was wrong for me. According to a 5 mbps connection, I should be getting around 640 kb/s speed, and that's what I got. But testmy.net should my download speed 241 kb/s.

I just created an account for saying this... TestMy results seem to be wrong. In a download speed test, it took so long to download a 42 MB test file... and it showed me a speed of 1.9 MBPS. I have a 5 MBPS connection. And ookla speed test is spot on.

To verify this I downloaded something else (and it was of size 42 MB too) and I got correct speeds there, and it took much shorter time to download.

What does this prove?
