OK so I was able to get a few well 3 cars My Xfinity, Cup and the Dirt Street Stock Plus I have 2 people I run with now using your site to check their internet as any ping much over 133 causes problems ( cars will blink in and out of reality and it can cause huge wrecks etc.) Oh also the guy who streams our monday and thursday races VRN (Virtual Racing Network) uses your site to keep his connection in tip top shape I will have videos and more screenshots soon my teammate is encoding 6 videos for me.

Sorry was working on that when my computer decided to go on strike and it took me most of sunday to beat it into submission probably only reason it is still powerful enough for 75% of anything I do is because it is a ASUS ROG from 2011.

I know this was started like eons ago but my 1000 cents are needed here. A Air compressor is absolutely fine, though to be honest set you PSI to about 20 first (depending on your attachment ( Air Snozzle) it can carry a huge punch. if 20 seems weak slowly increase until you feel comfortable. I use a Desiccant Air Dryer and 3 Filters directly off compressor is a Water separator then a oil remover then desiccant then final filter ( I do not say you need this I also Paint Guitars, Car Parts Neighbors Dogs err I mean cars SO I need those items plus dryer) Also my area is quite moist 375 days a year so I can collect like 1/2 gallon water in a week easy in my tank. I have been building computers and repairing Peavey Commercial Series Professional amps (computers since 2001 amps since 2009) using a vac and hose to me would be sketchy at best, like rubbing feet on dry carpet then sending that nice spark directly into MB. Of all the electrical items I Have worked on those Peavey CS Amps are IMHO indestructible, I bought a CS 1000X ( one time cost $1 per watt) that was said to be for parts only due to being flooded in florida I received it opened it was shocked to see so much MUD inside, disassembled all boards, replace Pots (Potentiometers X2) Had to blow the HEck out of it and use my tooth brush (retired) and a few cans of Electrical contact cleaner and in end it works great and I still use it to this day. Those amps need to be cleaned every 3 months if used daily due to massive air flow through Heatsinks. My point is I Have been using a air compressor to blow out all sorts of items for a long time with no ill side effect. But must use common sense.

well I now (thanks to my teammate BJ Sheldon) Have the almost complete Testmy.net Line up, I have the CW (Gander Outdoor) Toyota Xfinity Toyota Monster energy Toyota Dirt Street Stock SK Modified Whelan Modified K&N Series (Impala I think) 410,360,305 Winged Sprint Cars Lucas Oil Pro 4 and Pro 2 trucks Unfortunately I have a ton of replays saved but my computer will not create a decent youtube (or any video) I can share that does not pause and skip etc. WHat I ca do for now is get screen shots of each and once I can afford a better computer or figure out issues then get videos. Though I am doing the NW League series which is brodcasted to youtube (Xfinity mondays and CW Trucks on Thursdays) I'll add some links soon.

Seem sfor some reason daily I find I need to restart my Modem/Gateway as speed goes into toilet. Like todays test I think I am 1/2 Download speed and 1/10 upload of normal lately. I get a ton of uncorectable Codewords listed to I have no Idea Why or what that is and I trust the answers I would get from xfinity as much as I trust the government. Also anyone noticed slower speeds when say an Iphone or Ipad is connected I should sayhigher ping rather then speed. Even though the 5 Ghz AC connection has 1 connected device ( this One) seems ping goes way up with those devices connected even if idle. Probably has to do with the Gateway to xfinity connection rather the the Wifi.

So here is my question what is a correctable and uncorrectable codeword and how concerned should I be to see like multiple thousands of these on my gateway that was reset like 29 hours ago? I have added my snippets It may be nothing I just want to be sure as i do not recall the uncorrectable ever being this high so fast. maybe if it had an uptime of say 1-2 weeks but not 29 hours BTW these #'s start at 1 and go to 33 I did not include all as i felt it was overkill

I just seen a email my Teamate sent ( the one who does all my paints) He has now added the Testmy.net Logo to every single vehicle I run on IRacing. So now I have a boat load of replays to get converted so you can see them. I run well here is a current list Dirt STreet Stock 305,360 and 410 Winged Sprint cars Lucas Oil Pro2 and Pro4 Trucks Dirt Late Model Pro and Super K&N Series Late Model Paved series Whelan Modified S&K Modified And of course those I already mentioned

So I noticed after Windows did its Windows 10 Update that a few of my settings in TCP Optimizer ( not to mention speed decrease) was present. Just a FYI for anyone wondering what happened after update, If you notice speed decrease. If you use TCP Optimizer you will see what I mean if not I am not sure how to explain which settings were changed Sorry.

I recently ran the A Class Race ( Monster Energy Cup Cars) and the B class ( Xfinity Series Cars) and saved the replays but have not had chance to convert them to .MP4 but will post link as soon as I get them converted and uploaded.

im kinda disappointed about quality i do have teammate one who did paints has great computer i may send his the rpy files and have his run the sim and record the videos be much better quality for sure.

I just noticed the video is skippy, I just think some days my GPU canot keep up, Plus Imay have forgotten to set it to the overclocked setting until like 4 laps in if quality gets better and stops skipping that is why sorry about that, I will redo it with proper GPU settings Monday ( lol it is monday ) but later this morning after I get some sleep

So here is a short few laps I ran at Chicagoland with most updated graphics. BJ Sheldon ( My Teammate) did the amazing graphics for me and did a great job. BTW my speed is better using WIFI ( ASUS USB AC68 Adapter 1.3 Gbps ) then using the onboard Realtek Lan 1.0 Gbps wired into Gateway. Plus so sad seen using the (Xfinity Test) they say I get 998 Mbps/45Mbps but I know that is a farce plus watching speeds jump all over the place. I sure am thankful you have a site we can get realistic speed results , I doubt I ever use any servers in portland where you know I use iRacing ( Boston MA) servers almost daily and is nice to get realistic results from that distance . Here is link to my short youtube clip of truck, will get some more soon with entire races just wanted to get you something as it has been awhile I Have the Testmy.net on my B class Xfinity Toyota and my A class Monster Energy Toyota also will get those posted soon . If Dodge ever comes back to Nascar I will then be running MOPAR Vehicles If you think I need to change anything let me know

Wow did not know that, I tried using the capture supplied by iRacing but are GPU dependent while I Found OBS will use CPU to encode it so it seems to work better. Ill get some for you today and post them to Youtube and send links.

here is a chase view

Let me know what you think so far, I think it came out amazing, cannot wait to see it on track. I actually have a Daytona practice in 30 minutes so ill try to grab some screenshots

Here is a View of my C class truck as seen through the Traing Paints Site Ill try to get a screeen show while on track but wanted to give you and idea

Absolutely, Plus my favorite feature provided is I can go back and say ( I do not care what your recommended Tests say) I have a list of test dates and results and look at this date it drops to ?? ( Whatever) when for SO long I was in this range and yet now ( My Reliable And documented) site shows something wrong so you need to fix it . End of conversation until you fix your end period. I found a long time ago that 90% (well Maybe at 80% now) of their suggestions and or excuses are 100% BS. I once argued with a tech and finally got so upset I said next you're going to say the reason my speed is slow is because I have a black cat . Thanks for the Logo ill get to work on that ASAP. I should have it on my xfinity cr and truck before next race ( well tomorrow is xfinity race but ill try ) This was supposed to post sunday but did not for some reason

SO funny after you mentioned what to do with Xfinity , in the mail arrived a letter showing all new packages we were elidgable for. SO supposedly we now have 1 Gig down/40Mbps up need to hardline it to be sure. BTW I mentioned the site in a Iracing pre race setup and the guy who does all our Streaming and brodcasting/analyzing uses your site a lot to be sure his system is up to snuff. Plus I sent my teamate over to check you out and be sure his connection is good. Oh I just had a great Idea do you have any .jpegs or special graphics you would like to see on a Iracing Truck or car and truck? I have some space on my Xfinity, Monster Energy and Gander outdoor truck id be happy to add your logo . For al the help you have provided and the ability to show xfinity how I have a log of tests I can pull when thir crap goes south it is the least I can do. I just need a jpg, or so you would like to see on a vehicle.

Oh Heck, That would be amazing,Though for LOORS you may need to have the EMT's on hand and a good Neurosurgeon and some of those landings are going to be painful. If these things accurately respond as if in the actual vehicle. I have no idea but I assume these are in the Multiple thousands as far as $$? I Know I have seen the Wheel-Pedal setups that are over $1500 and I believe I seen one of these Cube/Cockpit setups with the actuators running around $8K alone without pedals, wheel etc. I have the Logitech G920 setup with Pedals and add on G-Force shifter ( I got a great deal on it used) Normally around $300 for pedal and wheel and $80 for Shifter I paid $200. My biggest problem now is my GPU is running at it's limit and that is with some graphics settings turned to low or Off. I need to start building a dedicated system just for iRacing, Which really is a great idea as some things I would not need like a Huge HD, More the 16GB Ram, CPU I can get by with a say Low to mid Range PC in those regards but the GPU needs to have at least 4Gb ram and be a GTX1060 or better ( with ability to do Triple monitors and or VR. I have heard though that VR can cause motion Sickness and I Get motion Sick super easy so VR maybe off the table. ( I had issues with new glasses making me sick at first) heck even took me a few days with a 32" monitor ( finally set at proper FOV) to get where I was not a bit woozy and dizzy after a race. I noticed iRacing has added a new feature in 2019-S-3 Update that shows the IPV4 and IPV6 servers and the ping etc (though do not see the actual IP addresses. I will get a snippet if I can or at least what the info shows . I have posted some videos I made of races on you tube ( the ones within last say 2 months I started using OBS instead of the in Sim recording software which seems to work better ( OBS I can use my CPU where in sim was using GPU which is already maxed just to display replay let alone try to encode and save it as a different file.

Nope all servers I have seen are in Boston for North America, they have 2 in Sydney , heck next time i am on I will look at what servers say for practice and get a list, I do know they have a list of them as some IPV6 and Some IPV4. and yes I have the Steering wheel, Clutch, Brake and Gas Pedals and a 6 Speed plus R HHh shifter. LOL most call them H shifters but pattern is more like if you had 2 Cap and one Lower case h combined (7 gears total including reverse ,plus whee has paddle shifter if needed) Yea it is super in depth , plus they now do LOORS (Lucas Off Road Racing Series) Pro 4 and Pro 2 Trucks, World of Outlaw Sprint cars etc. I am working on getting or building a Cockpit setup ( where Pedals, shifter, wheel, monitors ( unless using VR) is all contained in one usint with a racing seat setup . I am still using a desk like setup but it works good for now though a 2 hour race can get uncomfortable. Nothing like the 5 hour one they just ran at Charlotte I could not do that long at this time.

here is the Latency results of speedguide.net, (Testmy.net servers) NY,LAX, SF, UK and De Notice the 3rd one is a massive 576ms (3rd Ping to speedguide.net) I wonder why Pinging [68.67.73.20] with 32 bytes ->bytes=32 time=97ms TTL=49 Pinging [68.67.73.20] with 32 bytes ->bytes=32 time=96ms TTL=49 Pinging [68.67.73.20] with 32 bytes ->bytes=32 time=576ms TTL=49 Pinging [68.67.73.20] with 32 bytes ->bytes=32 time=97ms TTL=49 Pinging [144.202.123.145] with 32 bytes ->bytes=32 time=38ms TTL=51 Pinging [144.202.123.145] with 32 bytes ->bytes=32 time=39ms TTL=51 Pinging [144.202.123.145] with 32 bytes ->bytes=32 time=38ms TTL=51 Pinging [144.202.123.145] with 32 bytes ->bytes=32 time=38ms TTL=51 Pinging [107.170.222.115] with 32 bytes ->bytes=32 time=36ms TTL=52 Pinging [107.170.222.115] with 32 bytes ->bytes=32 time=36ms TTL=52 Pinging [107.170.222.115] with 32 bytes ->bytes=32 time=35ms TTL=52 Pinging [107.170.222.115] with 32 bytes ->bytes=32 time=36ms TTL=52 Pinging [207.246.91.111] with 32 bytes ->bytes=32 time=92ms TTL=50 Pinging [207.246.91.111] with 32 bytes ->bytes=32 time=91ms TTL=49 Pinging [207.246.91.111] with 32 bytes ->bytes=32 time=93ms TTL=49 Pinging [207.246.91.111] with 32 bytes ->bytes=32 time=93ms TTL=50 Pinging [45.76.133.26] with 32 bytes ->bytes=32 time=160ms TTL=45 Pinging [45.76.133.26] with 32 bytes ->bytes=32 time=161ms TTL=45 Pinging [45.76.133.26] with 32 bytes ->bytes=32 time=160ms TTL=45 Pinging [45.76.133.26] with 32 bytes ->bytes=32 time=161ms TTL=45 Pinging [199.247.19.173] with 32 bytes ->bytes=32 time=179ms TTL=43 Pinging [199.247.19.173] with 32 bytes ->bytes=32 time=179ms TTL=43 Pinging [199.247.19.173] with 32 bytes ->bytes=32 time=179ms TTL=43 Pinging [199.247.19.173] with 32 bytes ->bytes=32 time=188ms TTL=43 Ping statistics for above hosts: Packets: Sent = 24, Received = 24, Lost = 0 (0% loss) Approximate round trip times (RTT) in milli-seconds: Minimum = 35ms, Maximum = 576ms, Average = 120ms Does all those other then the 576ms one look ok? Hmm I assume this means you have better servers or something then speedguide.net uses? All of your servers are much quicker and with less variation.

BTW you are pretty close as far as location, I am in milwaukie, but gladstone is not far, The Internet used to keep showing me as living in Saint Helens which is not really that close.

Wow thanks. Ill deffinately do what you said with comcast. I do have the Phone, TV (DVR so I can record shows I am not able to watch and skip commercials especially NASCAR, NFL) and internet. I will look back at what you said to do to ping these places, Mater of fact i think that TCP Optimized thing has a section where i can enter multiple ping locations but I will try your way forst. The Host is iRacing.com I would hope they would be running top end servers since so much is on the line some races (Pro) they can win and loose a grip of $$ if service is just so so . They also have multiple servers i Have noticed, specific ones fro practices, and then others for races and when there are say over 30 people registered for a race they do what is called splits and seperate driver by rating so you race with people of similar skills. I seen a race here sat where there was over 400 people signed up and I think it had 15 servers or more . Since I am Northwest area or North america I use the MA Servers for Practice and Bos Servers for races ( I realize Boston and MA are same place but thats how they do the naming . I have not tried a practice with a server say in Sydney Australia or the ones over europe yet. OK I have no Idea why I could not copy the text but I could not so I did aSnippet. Those timed out sections that cannot be good??

? i have tried running the tcp optimizer, i guess it may just be what we have t deal with nowadays? or is this normal? i never paid much attention to servers across the country as I never had any issues, I feel so stupid too I got a ASUS ROG Laptop back in 2011, but was for Autocad, Solidworks, etc. Never played a single game until 2019 then i see it is just about EOL for gaming now, (But only the GPU) Which is of course specific to ASUS and this MB design. all else is perfect.

So of course these clowns want you to use their own servers to test your speed, I guess they assume if they have good speed to the local town but then have crap everywhere else that is ok? My bi complaint is I started running iRacing ( for those going??) It is a racing simulation ( not a game like Mario Cart or Gran Turismo it uses real telemetry , laser scanned tracks etc. but lately ( I started running in january 2019) i have been noticing I blink a bit (due to higher Ping Rate/Latency) It seems to have gotten worse last say 2 weeks, I went to test my speed and I seem great to LA, SF but when I do NY (The Servers are in MA) I find way messed up speed and variations of anywhere from 80%to 144%. Now would this be a Xfinity issue they need to look into or is it actually not a Xfinity issue but just way internet is going now days? ANd to be honest from the monthly usage info I get from Xfinity I am not using much more Data then in 2018, of my 1024 Gig level they show I went from 10% monthly to 20% but also have a grandson who loves watching animals on youtube ( which BTW cannot be my issue as he is not here when these slow downs have been documented) I am already quite frustrated with the Monopoly Xfinity has as I can not get any other internet service that would be above 20 Mbps in my location and xfinity has increased my bill by about 25% , actually each month is seems it is $1-3 higher. They claim unless I want to get a security system of theirs I have no other option for any of the packages they have and to top that off I get the 200/12 Mbps internet which was supposed to increase to 400/20 for triple play packages but since mine was setup in like 2012 or so I am not included in the speed increase. i just think they need to look into this , I can see each players ping and I always seem to be in the 133 up sections where a lot of them are in the 60s etc. Even people in my NW area seem to have lower pings at least some.
