? thats pretty damn decent for 5G my friend! Congrats. 

DANG!
 
If that's what you get in "an area that's horribly overprovisioned." -- sign me up!
 
Sorry I'm slow to respond dude, been consumed with building a couple of ZFS servers on the backend. It's a process, that's just about complete.

IG it's not too terrible for an area that's horribly overprovisioned. 
 
 

Thank you Obeahman!
 
This is one of the best testimonials we've received in a long time. Feedback like this drives my development.
 
It's really nice to hear stories of TMN working for people. It's pretty crazy how under served so many people are and how most tests don't seem to notice. It's hard to convey to the majority of people why TMN is different so first hand testimonials are really helpful. There are major differences here that in my opinion render other tests useless when most needed. You witnessed it yourself.
 
I'm happy to hear that you found TestMy.net and that it's done what I originally set out to do, help you get what you're paying for. Hopefully in the future more people find us here. 
 
Much appreciated on this end as well.
 
 

Hey all. Just wanted to say a big thank you to the creators and maintainers of testmy.net.
 
I live in Jamaica and we don't have fast or quality internet service here unless you live in the more populated areas. Where I live there are no physical internet connections available so I've had to use fixed wireless options for years. I've been through every single one that's been available and your speed test has helped keep my sanity. Basically all of them have tried to send me to the sites that make them shine and make me look like the crazy unreasonable customer.
 
My current provider just upgraded my package after almost 15 years and wanted me to do daily speed tests to make sure everything was fine. They told me to use openspeedtest.com and I told them I would use testmy.net instead (been using you for years and loving it, THANK YOU again) but they said they wanted to measure jitter as well so I relented. Well, after a while I  noticed the connection was acting up and while testmy.net gave me the real world, openspeedtest.com was giving results saying I had full speed and nothing was wrong.
 
To cut a long story short, after 2 months of telling them something was wrong and trying to convince them to use testmy.net instead, they have finally relented and admitted there's a problem  on their network. So thank you again to each and every one of you who has and anything to do with this site. Please continue to do what you do and fight for the little guy.
 
Much appreciated.

Its hard to believe this site been a life this long the speed test are totally wrong. If you really want to know your speed go to speedtest.net 

Why is it that you believe what Speedtest.net is telling you? Because it gives you a higher speed and makes you feel better?

I agree whole-heartedly with everything you said. 89% of the time is work 110% if the time lol
 

IKR
 
I already have a new upload test to beta test. I have to build that proof of concept into the existing site and had some prerequisites that needed to be taken care of first. 
 
It should slide in nicely now. Definitely on the list.
 
About to start another round of programming. You'll have an option to toggle beta and try out a few new things I've been developing (for years now) after this next round.

great 5G speeds! about what i average on tmobile, 350-450
 

Now if we can only get a larger upload file... that's about a decade overdue.. ???

Rest in Paradise ROCO Movin on to greener pastures. Your presence will be missed. So sad to see you go my friend from across the pond! ??

I opened up TestMy Latency for public testing about 2 weeks ago.  Thousands of tests have been performed daily, thank you for the data and insight.  It's really helped to button down the program.  It wouldn't be able to test the way it does today without you just simply running those early tests and logging that information to my database.
 
Today I was in the shower and thought, "Why not make it able to test anywhere..." --- cut myself shaving because I wanted to get to my computer so fast.
 
So I added an ability that's hidden right now and I would love for you to test it.

https://testmy.net/latency?internal=1&fa=1&addr=facebook.com
https://testmy.net/latency?internal=1&fa=1&addr=msn.com
 
... any address you want.
 
It's going to show as "My Network" right now because it's barely built in there.  If you query TML like this and it returns a result then you're testing against the host at addr=.  From what I've seen it doesn't matter if the host is behind a CDN like cloudflare, it will punch right through that and get the real time to the host.
 
For instance, a website I know is hosted in Australia, who's users have linked to TMN for decades >> forums.whirlpool.net.au
 
I ping that using ICMP ping and I get 
 
Damons-5K-iMac:~ CA3LE$ ping forums.whirlpool.net.au PING forums.whirlpool.net.au (104.20.14.233): 56 data bytes 64 bytes from 104.20.14.233: icmp_seq=0 ttl=57 time=9.928 ms 64 bytes from 104.20.14.233: icmp_seq=1 ttl=57 time=9.410 ms 64 bytes from 104.20.14.233: icmp_seq=2 ttl=57 time=9.819 ms 64 bytes from 104.20.14.233: icmp_seq=3 ttl=57 time=9.808 ms 64 bytes from 104.20.14.233: icmp_seq=4 ttl=57 time=11.445 ms 64 bytes from 104.20.14.233: icmp_seq=5 ttl=57 time=9.191 ms 64 bytes from 104.20.14.233: icmp_seq=6 ttl=57 time=9.319 ms 64 bytes from 104.20.14.233: icmp_seq=7 ttl=57 time=9.396 ms 64 bytes from 104.20.14.233: icmp_seq=8 ttl=57 time=9.357 ms ^C --- forums.whirlpool.net.au ping statistics --- 9 packets transmitted, 9 packets received, 0.0% packet loss round-trip min/avg/max/stddev = 9.191/9.741/11.445/0.650 ms Damons-5K-iMac:~ CA3LE$ (I can tell by the 104. address, don't even have to look it up, most likely cloudflare)
 
That's the ping to the cloudflare proxy... not the actual forums.whirlpool.net.au server.
 
but then I run that address with TML and get about 1 second delay.
 
(sorry, can't share this like normal because it's not logging it to the database... again, this is a hidden function and I have to develop it further.  There are blocks in the program preventing certain actions when it's outside of the scope it expects to see.  Screenshots will have to do.)
 
https://testmy.net/latency?internal=1&fa=1&https=1&addr=forums.whirlpool.net.au

 
I do the same test to domains known to resolve in the US...
 



 
Oops, I realize now that you need to add the &https=1 if the website is https.  However, most will resolve both.
 
https://testmy.net/latency?internal=1&fa=1&https=1&addr=google.com
https://testmy.net/latency?internal=1&fa=1&https=1&addr=facebook.com
https://testmy.net/latency?internal=1&fa=1&https=1&addr=msn.com
 
by the way, facebook started responding slower on http also, wasn't just https.  It's like it switched me to a different location.
 



 
Actually, sharing does work as long as the address has less than 3 parts to it.  "forums.whirlpool.net.au" won't save just because it has 4 parts to the address... I'll fix that.
 
example embedded share
https://testmy.net/latency?q=CA3LE&n=100&internal=1&fa=1&addr=testmy.net&stats=1
 
Help me understand what this can do, I'm figuring it out with you.  Please run more tests and let me know what you find.

Hey everyone Newb here. I joined up here because recently I upgraded my mobile account to T-Mobiles magenta max plan, and would like to see how everyone else is doing that has the same plan. So is this speed good for 5g given where it is now? 
 

great 5G speeds! about what i average on tmobile, 350-450
 

Mine are so awesome. Can't wait till my sites to come up for 2 to 3 minutes.
Who can go lower then my slow speeds?
For 2 years of Suddenlink disappointment.

best pull ever for me @testmy.net
 
 
 
 
 
 
 

Nice speed??

Thanks for the reply.
I just like a good joke if there is one.
I had seen the Bernie meme on the internet.
That's how I knew who it was.
I just thought there might be more when he was on the hood of a Chinese car or at least a car with Chinese writing on the door.
I'm not an expert it could even be Japanese writing.
I don't plan on learning either.
I guess it can be good to know:
 

Just got a 30 second lock up switching tabs in Chrome. 

ok i went ahead and did what you suggested. I moved one of the more popular torrents to the SSD. I made it the only torrent running. Results are  exactly the same. Hits the same speed and stops dead.  Interestingly enough, when I re-engaged the other torrents, that one died and its now spread the speed over all 12 torrents, at the same exact speed..  That sounds like throttling and shaping to me. I'm fairly certain that's the case now.  It's literally almost holding solid at the same exact speed as it did on the other drive. 
 
@CA3LE
 

I suspect the hard disk is the bottleneck.  Most BitTorrent clients fetch random parts of a file from seeders and peers, whereas FTP and HTTP clients generally fetch files sequentially from start to finish.  This means that with just a handful of BitTorrent peers, the hard disk will be constantly seeking for the random pieces the peer clients request. 
 
31MBs (250Mbps) seems very good for a high end hard disk.  Most consumer hard disks will struggle to even deliver 10MB/s randomly seeking non-stop, e.g. try copying a 5GB file from a hard disk while running a virus scan on it at the same time.  I'm not sure about DC++ or SoulSeekqt, but even if they run deliver files sequentially, the hard disk will still be busy seeking all over the place for the BitTorrent clients. 
 
I suggest try moving those 10 most popular torrents to the main SSD (or to a separate SSD), then see how this affects the overall upload speed.
