Well for the past week or so I've been getting high pings to testmy.net, here is an example of my ping times for server2.testmy.net.
Ping statistics for 67.18.179.85:
Packets: Sent = 20, Received = 20, Lost = 0 (0% loss),
Approximate round trip times in milli-seconds:
Minimum = 86ms, Maximum = 103ms, Average = 89ms
I have Comcast cable, the highest package, which is 8000/768. Here is one of my test results I have just taken.
:::.. Download Stats ..:::
Connection is:: 4499 Kbps about 4.5 Mbps (tested with 12160 kB)
Download Speed is:: 549 kB/s
Tested From:: https://testmy.net/ (server2)
Test Time:: Sat Sep 24 2005 20:08:53 GMT-0700 (Pacific Daylight Time)
Bottom Line:: 80X faster than 56K 1MB download in 1.87 sec
Diagnosis: Looks Great : 4.36 % faster than the average for host (comcast.net)
Validation Link:: https://testmy.net/stats/id-93WQXSIPV
That speed is very inaccurate, I've run dozens of other tests and I get about 8200kbps download speed. I also downloaded a test file from java.sun.com and the speed stabilized at 1030kb/s. The strange thing is when I run a upload test on server2.testmy.net the speed is accurate (about 740kbps). Please post if you know of anything I could do to resolve this, as testmy.net is my favorite website.
