I'll correct that, I didn't update the old My RT program with that mirror's information yet.  Thanks for catching that.
 
That mirror is slightly different than the rest, not built into My Latency by default... unless you select that mirror, then you'll see the option.  It was donated by WaveX ISP in Kenya, I own all of the other servers.  Donated, but it's a full TMN server I maintain... first one.  -- it also doesn't appear in the legacy multithread test right now.

You can kinda do that right now, by using identifiers.
 

 
Then take note of the date, later query the database for that date range to only pull the results theoretically from the one site.  Maybe make a separate TMN account for these type of results.
 
I intend on making it much easier to organize in your situation by incorporating sub accounts.  Which will help keep track of multiple overall scenarios.  I like the name you just came up with, My Projects.
 
Bumping this up in my to-do list.

Wow!  You resurrected a 20 year-old topic!
 

 
Ahh the old days, when 4 Mbps was amazing.

Thank you very much for the information about your setup ( Bink Air Fibre ?) in your beautiful country of Wales .
I remember Shirley Bassey - Goldfinger and Tom Jones in the land of your fathers.
 
I mentioned 210 meters and wanted to say 210 km between the two dishes.
 
My internet is Fiber Optic FTTH, with speeds of 500/100 Mbps coming from the station connected to a submarine cable.
 
Your Latency 13ms and
Latency under load 16 ms and 15ms is excellent and more speed with the new dish.
I think 153/38 Mbps is more than enough.

I hope to see your TMN speedtests in the servers of | East Coast US, New York, USA |  North America - Toronto, CA | Europe, London, GB |

Congratulations. 

Hello TMN Team
 
This my first Post in 13 years.

We have tried to write on the profile without success.

I am the twin of the user Frank225 and not the brother of Shania Twain and I`am not from Taiwan where they make the best chips.
  
We would like to do Tests on TMN Beta with new setting on a personal $50 router 
 
The distance from my location to:
 
Lisbon, Portugal is less than 2000 Km.  Lisbon to London, GB is 4000 Km Lisbon to the East Coast - US, NY, USA is 8000 Km. Lisbon and Sydney, Australia is 20 000 Km.  


 
The new Submarine Cables with amplifiers, XGS-PON and Wi-FI 7 technologies will reduce latency. "Nuvem" S Cable is coming.
 
 
TMN is different and one day TMN may have a server on Amazon satellite? 

I hope to write one my profile.[link removed]
 
 
Cheers

ps
 
 

Do some more testing here. Your last TMN results I see we’re in April. Compare it to the results above.

Hello Frank, thank you for your comprehensive and informative reply, it is much appreciated.  My internet connects to a radio transmitter tower across the Towy Valley about 2 miles away via a dish on my house. I am pleased to inform you that, since my last post, my internet provider has replaced the dish with an upgraded one. Here are my new speeds!!!

Hello 
Steven WJ Richards.
I hope you are well
 
My internet communications 10 to 15 years ago was unique in two ways.

The first one was done with ISP two satelite dIshes link with 210 meters on 80 meters self supported towers for ADSL distribution.

The second was earth to satelite geostationary orbit, at 35,786 km (22,236 mi) in altitude above Earth's equator to earth for ADSL distribution.I never mesured the latency but was high. The internet speed was 4Mbps and we paid for 12 Mbps.

Your internet is from 4G ?

What is your internet speed? 

What is the latency at TMN London Server (auto mode) ?

4G is better than ADSL.

Do you have sheep or goats in your paradise? and your antenna is safe from the animals ? 

I am also testing with TMN and this was my last results and observation:

Today, the Amazon Latency test at TMN and Ookla Speedtest is similar for London. We don't know if Amazon have servers in the countries with Shopps/Stores-Business ? 
 
All the tests below was done by wireless with ISP router and DNS. (5m from the router in a strait line)
  With warm Wi-Fi 5 on Intel modem AC 20-160Mhz on the PC and the router with 160 MHz bandwidth channel, 1733 Mhz all the results should be a little bit better.
We factory reset the router 4 times a year. 
  We use TMN server in London for speed test because it is closer to my router   
   
 
LINX LON1 - 195.66.224.91 - LINX LON2 - 195.66.236.91
 

 
I hope you answer my questions. 

Kind regards.
 

Reading the speed between their server and your computer is not really testing the internet speed. 
 
Doesn't matter how you connect.  You're not testing the Internet if you don't actually go out to the Internet.  Testing against your ISP's servers isn't going out to the Internet.  That's why TestMy.net is here.
 
Your ISP has control over the quality of peering and bandwidth in and out of their network.  
 
If your ISP is in the UK, then it should be a very quick hop over to my UK servers.  As long as your ISP is delivering that won't affect the final result.  There would be little to no difference if all the connections between are running with capacity available.  Any good ISP in that scenario would have at least multiple 10 GbE peers, meaning that the route between the ISP and TestMy.net should never be the weakest link... unless it's over capacity.
 
It's a red flag if an ISP tells you that only testing against their server's is accurate.  And like I said, it doesn't make sense in the first place.  Your ISP's servers are not the Internet, that's your host's network... before the Internet.  It's a part of the Internet but if that's your host, their network is your network.  A step above your local area network but we're not really out to the wider Internet.
 
TestMy.net is actually testing your connection out to the Internet.

Thank you for your advice CA3LE. However, I receive my internet via a dish from a transmitter not far away. My service provider explained to me that my internet is tunnelled to a specific server called Dedicated server in London (I live in Wales, a few hundred miles from London). I then go out to the rest of the world from there. My internet provider explained that I would only get a true reading of the quality of service they are providing by reading the internet speed between their server and my computer.

Hi Steven, welcome!
 
When you test at TestMy.net you're testing the connection from your home, through your providers network, out to the internet and then to my servers.
 
You only need to consider your own location when choosing one of my locations to test from.  Usually TMN will do a good job of choosing for you.
 
Based on your IP address, TMN would pick UK servers to test from.  You can also visit the Mirror page and quickly test your latency across all of the locations.  UK will again most likely perform the best (lowest).
 
After you're settled on a test server location then head over to the Auto Speed Test to schedule automatic testing.
 
Once you've gathered some results (data) visit My Results and My Average to get a better understanding of the results.
 
Hope this helps, please let me know if you have any other questions.

Looking for advice. My broadband provider uses Dedicated server in London. All traffic goes through that.  However, I cannot find this on the list of servers. Can it be added so that I can monitor my broadband speed over a period of time?  If so, how do I go about it? 

I see 1 results from today that was 140 Mbps... but very odd about the other ones.  I've never personally seen that happen to that degree before.
 
I'd really like to see how you run on the beta and what kind of charts it draws for your connection.
 
Click "My Settings" then toggle the beta ON.
 
Run a few combined tests.  Then visit Tune ☆ and toggle multithread ON.  Run a few more combined tests and hit me back so I can take a look.

When I turn off Multithread I get around 55 Mbps. Other speed tests show a Multithread result of about 150Mbps. When I put Testmy on Multithread it goes away for a long time and finally comes back with 3Mbps after +5min what am I doing wrong? Trying to figure out if I'm keeping this T-Mobile router or not. Thank you! Jim

Awesome  

Thank you! it seems to be working great now!

Sorry for the inconvenience. 
 
I made a change to the code that should prevent that from happening again.  Please let me know if you have any other questions.
 
Happy Testing!
 

hello. every time i come back to my window where the automatic test is running, there is a question at the top left, "Are you human?", and the rest of the page is blank. when i click it, the test starts running. i've searched thru this forum and found northing on this topic. why am i getting this question all the time, and how can i stop it so that my test runes by itself every hour? thanks for any help.

I love the music of Alannah Myles - Black Velvet

Good speed. Enjoy it

Well, this is the best test results i've ever gotton on my adelphia.

Using DNS in Singapore doesn't really help for your latency to the server.
 
Latency is like the time it takes for you to send a message to your friend and for them to respond. In the world of the internet, when you click on something or ask your computer to do something online, it sends a request to another computer far away. Latency is how long it takes for that request to reach the other computer and for you to get an answer back. If it takes a long time, everything online feels slow, like when you're waiting for someone to respond to a text.
 
When you ask your computer to load a website, it sends a message to another computer far away called a server. That server holds the information for the website you want. The message travels through wires, cables, or even space (if it’s using satellites!), and when the server gets it, it sends the website information back to your computer the same way. The time it takes for the message to go to the server and back to your computer is what we call latency. The quicker it travels, the faster things load!
 
You can't improve this unless you're able to take a shorter path to the server.  The physical distance creates unavoidable latency... the speed of light is the limiting factor.
 
What the Latency Test is showing you is that servers in Singapore will perform best for you.  Amazon is hosted on a CDN (content delivery network) so when you request using that test it pulls from a server closer to you automatically.
 
To improve latency over long distances, here’s how it works:
Use servers closer to you: Imagine a game of telephone. The closer the person, the quicker the message gets to you. Using servers that are closer (like a local one instead of one far away) speeds things up.
Optimize the route: Think of taking the quickest path home. By using smarter routes (like special internet paths called "content delivery networks"), the message travels faster, just like choosing a shortcut.
Use faster connections: Just like a fast car on a highway, using better internet connections helps the message travel quicker, even over long distances!

I love this! I know I am using iPerf3 for testing local network throughput but this is much prettier and appears fairly easy to use.

My beta gives anyone the ability to run TMN on any computer they'd like.  Run it locally on a Docker images I've prepared for you or install it on any web sever, with or without SSL.  It only takes 2 files, a total of 1800 bytes of code on your end.  What speed will you see between two wired 1 GbE?   Exactly what you'd expect to see, watch for yourself.
 
tmn-on-my-server.mp4
The Mac and Windows machines are fairly distant, non-direct routes.  The connection traverses 2 switches, then the router, then another switch also adding in about 100 ft of cable before it arrives.  Not lab conditions, I wanted all of those real world variables. 
 
If you inspect I think you'll agree, TMN's results are pretty exact. 
 
tl&dr

 
So average 916 Mbps | 904 Mbps.  Adding 6% network overhead you get to 971 Mbps | 958 Mbps.  Which is right in line with what we see coming across the interface in reality.  
 
I did the same LAN testing when developing the current version (v18) you're using now, always do.  But now I'm giving the ability to do it yourself, super quick.  ... I've also done that before but not like this.  This is very different.  Cut and paste a few commands into Terminal or PowerShell and you're running local tests on all your devices in a few seconds.  You can also audit all of the code and understand the entire container in just a few seconds.
 
Pretty excited to share that with you all.  Curious how people will use it.

Yeh it's not bad for WiFi at all I have had 550 over WiFi before. With a cable the best I've seen on my ps5 using speed test.net is 596.3 so pretty damn close. Attached the WiFi test pretty damn good.
