Seems lately to be working correctly.

Keeps fingers crossed it continues

 

Paying for 105 Mbps speed and today was only reaching about 25 Mbps was frustrating , nice to see the speed back whee it should be

Well maybe all the Notifying Google of the "Aw Snap" BS worked as I finally was able to run a combined test and did not get that annoying message just a few seconds ago. 

Something strange I noticed now, It seems to work fine on upload tests doing them alone but now when I attempt a download test by itself I get the Aw Snap error.

SO now it does it when I use combined or download alone but not with upload.

Also when it does it on combined it appears it only does the download section as I see no upload results when I go and open the results page under my profile.

It is almost as if the chrome browser has a default time limit before it assumes web page is not responding 

anyone know if there is a setting where I can extend time or disable that feature ??

Ok now it is doing the Aw Snap thing when I do combined or any download test.

It seems to work fine on upload tests though.

 

I cannot use Edge logged into my account as it will never log in just keeps showing the log in at top right of screen.

But when not logged in Edge seems to work fine. 

Ok to answer your post #7 it was every single time I ran the combined test.

Now and Just now I ran the Combined Test from San Fran and it did not do the Aw Snap.

It worked perfectly.

I will try all the west coast servers and see if I get the error still

The Fremont and the San Jose I believe it is the top west coast test both just gave me the aw snap error

Dam now all three west coast servers are giving me that Aw Snap error.

I did get one complete test in combined both down and up  before the errors started though.

Strange went to try it on Edge and It will not let me sign in. it just pops back to sign in page.

But it worked just fine with Edge In case you were curious

I do not use Firefox or Edge.

It starts the download test ( it remembers my last one at like 64 Mb File size) once the bar gets to 100% I get the Snap.

it does not do any upload test at all.

and only seems to do it with combined test.

Ok any Test I have tried doing Auto Combo does that, now manually it seems to do ok if I am just say testing Download or Upload.

I had Aw Snap on West Combo and I think it was Cali1 combo.

I will post the screen shots too. 

I think every time now, Let me get you a Snippet of exact page and info and It will tell me if it does it each time also.

I have been getting that Aw Snap BS for some time now when trying to run any speedtests.

Has anyone else had this happen and if so is there some setting I can adjust to stop this?

Just noticed when doing the Mercury test and then trying to post in forum and doing normal speedtest that I keep being signed out in Microsoft edge.

It is annoying as it keeps telling me to sign in.

Any Ideas as to why this may be happening?

Cool, I liked using that as It gave me  a bit more info on how the internet was working etc.

I just noticed that the link to mercury tests is gone.

What happened to it or is it something that Edge is doing to the web page?

I do have the ability, I have a Creative SB X-Fi Surround 5.1 Pro USB  as my On Board Realtek had issues and I could not use the enhancements so I went USB.

I have not tried connecting it to my 5.1 System lately as I use it mostly for my Link to my Pro Audio mixer and system.

I will try that and see what happens though.

I have noticed with Edge that it is not compatible with Norton Identity Safe so anyone who has been using that like I do and have came dependent on it remembering log ins and passwords will be lost unless they also  install a separate Browser.

I use Chrome but have been noticing for some time that even if I only have one page open in chrome in the task manager there are at min 5 instances of chrome running which I cannot see as very efficient.

Though I must say I have constantly been getting much higher speed tests with edge then I ever did with chrome or IE 11

Well so far this seems to be a better system, at least the speed tests are much faster and my wireless seems much faster using both.

Never have I gotten over 100Mbps using the wireless connection until after the upgrade.

I have found that using chrome like I used to now is a pain and it keeps saying the connection is dead for some reason.

YA, Ok.  I was just thinking it may be a better test or have better results not having to deal with whatever limits Safari coudl put on the iPad 4.

I was wanting to check my Wifi and my AT&T 4g LTE to compare.

I can do that to with the Safari I suppose, 

New to Ipad never used the Safari thing yet.

Matter of fact haven't used hardly anything yet except music and the planets app. 

Howdy I seen ookla I believe is the name has an iPad app for speed tests I was curious if there was one for this site or how one with say an iPad or Android Tablet would speed test from  this site.

I do not trust other test sites of any kind and only use this one for accurate testing.

I do use others so I can laugh at how full of BS they are with the speed results but never for accurate speed results. 

Just a FYI, I have done this same thing more times then Anyone ever should have to ( tell the ISP their "Speedtest Site" Sucks @#$.

I have argued with technicians until I was about 1 straw away from a homicide case with me as the only person of interest, I get the same thing each time that this site (Testmy.net) is incorrect and their site is correct, Finally I figured the way to shut them down at the first letter of their sentence of BS and Lies.

Thanks to Testmy.net I have a immense amount of test history data.

I can pull data from quite awhile back ( sorry I do not know exactly how long) and I can then say I don't give a rats @#$ what they recommend or think is the accurate test site I can show I was getting this speed at this date and This speed at this date and then for no reason I had this issue say when my modem went south and was allowing me (back at date of story) 20 Mbps Down and like 700Kbps up when it should of been 5 Mbps up. 

Which in reality really messes with your down as you cannot reply as fast as you shoudl so everything is delayed longer.

I personally hate dealing with any Tech from any ISP as they have tried to blame anything and everything for the issue other then their own system or hardware.

I have been told maybe my computer is outdated back in 2011 when I just purchased the ROG ASUS G73-SW it was the Top of teh top at that time.

They have blamed my internal house coaxial ( Big mistake before looking into my account) I had the Extra fee in case of issues that they would replace wiring free so I made them replace every last inch and every splitter etc.

If I remember correctly ( which lately is really a stretch remembering who I am and why I am here) 

If you can achieve 90% of the paid for speed I believe they consider that awesome, Maybe it has changed since speeds have went up so much last few years but I think personally 95% or greater should be what we are entitled to.

I mean if I purchased a race motor and it was stated to produce say 1000HP and 750 Ft/Lb torque and when I did a dyno on it I was only getting 900 HP and 675 Ft/Lb of torque I woudl be highly Upset.

Anyway just thought I woudl share my 2 cents or as long as this was I guess 11 cents worth

Where abouts in oregon are you??

I am in milwaukie and I was told no service on west side of I-205 which I happen to be on by about 15 blocks lol

Oh thats to funny, I have never paid much attention to the test Id myself, not to mention I do not take subtle hints well anyway, someone coudl put "Do Not Test So Much" as my Test ID and I probably would not of noticed at all LMAO. 

I just noticed my Woreless mouse uses 2.4 Ghz connection also.

That is insane, I have 2.4 Ghz Phone, Heard Microwaves can transmit 2.4 Ghz, my Mouse is 2.4 Ghz and one of the ways I can connect wirelessly is 2.4 Ghz not to mention both my SOny streaming media player and my Sony Blu-Ray DVD is 2.4 Ghz.

Dang seems 2.4 Ghz spectrum is quite crowded maybe this is some cause for slow internet at times.

WOw thanks, Ya The Internet and Wireless stuff or the technology and so on has just increased faster then I can learn it.

When I was really into computers and building them and so on there was not even wireless available to the common person anyway, Back in 2000/2001 Now it is everywhere.

Heck and the Stuff to do with Police scanners and The Trunking, Triple Trunking and Digital Stuff is also just as crazy.

I will go ahead and take your word for it now, but anytime you think of a good website or link to a pdf or any you may have feel free to let me know or email them to me as I still enjoy learning this stuff.

I went to use the Heat mapper Program and found out my battery last's about 5-7 min now, it appears to have lost 90% of its life or ability in the last month.

Strange as not more then Id say 45 days ago it ran at least 45 min before it looked to be getting low, now it seems to run from 100% to 93% normally then from 93% to Dead in a second.

SO I have to replace battery before I can map my area

Oh holly cow, the channels are just a different frequency about the 2.4000Mhz start, now this makes so much more sense.

I guess I should of known that as TV, Scanners all of those use channels which are just a different frequency. Not sure what I was thinking at first actually.

In the Network settings on my laptop I can set the channel width on the 2.4 and 5 Ghz to be auto or 20 Hz only which do you think would be best? Auto to let the computer decide?

I have not heard that, I know not all devices can use 5 Ghz, ( Both of my streaming media players well 1 player 1 Blu-Ray can only use 2.4 Ghz,) I do not remember what the Ipad that Died used it was a $th gen 32 GB version, need to take it somewhere and see if someone can fix it.

I only know that on my Laptop 2.4 Ghz is limited to 144 Mbps connection speed and 5 Ghz is 300 Mbps Speed but seen on the Mapper that 2.4 Ghz says 217 Mbps and 5 Ghz says 450Mbps so maybe 5 Ghz is 2X faster but not as strong? Which seems to kinda make no sense as I would expect to have a stronger signal to insure uncorrupted data at higher speeds. 

WHat channel do you suggest I use on the 2.4 Ghz? I see 1 and 6 listed as being used by others I will check and see what options I have in the Gateway settings. 

I shows I can select from 1-11 so I will try 11 it is one I see no one else uses and is furthest away from others if that makes any difference. 

SO Mud, you never used Tweetdeck prior to it being Murdered, desecrated, good parts cremated and reassembled as frankintwitters pet monster?

It is a shell of the program it was intended to be, Funny after post I looked in my Back-up drive and found the original Tweetdeck application files I downloaded. I am tempted to install and see if they still somehow function. That would show Twitter that I will not conform and be a good Tweet ski and do as told and only use what they give out. Ha  take that  BTW in case anyone hasn't noticed I am 100% NOT PC (politically Correct/Corrupted or a sheeple)  

   OMG just had a piphininy or whatever, no wonder I lose like hours on some days, can be 9 am be on Social something and look at clock and Bam 2 PM, Was thinking on those days I had been abducted and was dealing with major time loss.

Well I guess I was abducted by social media and locked into cyber space time warpage LOL

Hey Mud Man Dudeski, I will look for a great Dial up Sound effect or recording and post it so you can listen to the sound whenever you feel like it  

ya I was wondering about that as It asked about a map then said walk around your facility and I was What? Facility My house is only 3 bedrooms, a so called office thingy and a Overpacked Garage. Then I read more and realized I can actually walk around the block well almost. I know there are a few of those "Xfinity Wifi" total BS Hotspots ( But my issue with them is a totally different set of encyclopedias) anyway. I can connect to some of them to get a larger range.

Right off the bat instantly after install I found about 10+ AP's I had no clue were even out there.

I did find about 4 2.4 Ghz ones that use channel 6 which is what it says mine is but not one 5 Ghz network anywhere.

What is puzzling me is that 2.4 Ghz uses 1 channel at least all show one channel # where the 5 Ghz says mine is on Channels 149-153 I believe it said. I better look again real quick. 

yep it says 153-149 actually why larger first not sure.

Question

How many bars is full power? I cannot tell on 2.4 I have 7 does not look full green as I would think and even worse 5 is only showing 5 then 4 then 5 and they come from same exact Wireless Gateway ( I call it that as that is what Comcast calls the thing.

According to the documentation I aquired off of Cisco web site this unit is supposed to have 2 internal antennas and "Supposedly" able to connect 6 external antenna though do not see how in manual.

Also see I can set it to bridge mode to allow connection of "Range extenders"  Wondering if I can find a decent price on a Cisco Dual band range extender if it would be worth the hassle of getting one and adding it?

Of course I asked Comcast about some of the features and Options and it appears some of the techs know as little as possible probably just enough to stay employed.

One Jackwagon told me that IPV6 was not something that my laptop could use to interface with the Gateway and sent on to the internet etc. He said it was only something that the Gateway may use to connect to their network nothing I was able to have nor know if it was being used anyway, Which I know is a HUGE LIE as last router was IPV6 and it showed in my network connection details and Sure as I am sometimes an Idiot ( 100%) I see in like a week after install after a Software update POW all of a sudden I see IPV6 info again, to make a short story long anything I do know about the Specifics of this Gateway and I ask Comcast about they are clueless or at least act like it.

Kinda PO's me as this has so many awesome abilities like ability to connect External HD and be able to share say music, picture and viceo files I have on it as well as my DVR has awesome feature of 2 HDMI inputs, 1 Hdmi output and one Toslink (Optical) output which would of allowed me to connect my older Blu-ray player and my Streaming Network media player without having to manual swith them each time I wanted to use one or the other but was told sorry that along with most all great features are disabled by those Wackjobs. so I ended up having to go get a New Blue-ray player which was OK as one day I find a 3D Blue-Ray with built in Wifi and Apps etc on sale for 50% off and snatched it up for $42.50.

Now I need to find that kinda deal on a 7.2 DTS/Dolby Digital Receiver, Sadly I have a actual Pro or Commercial Spec Concert system but G-Friend says Speaker cabs are way to huge for living room and no one needs 2200 watts of Peavey Power or ability to cause popcorn ceiling to self destruct into what resembles s snow storm. Some women or I should say ones I have dated etc. do not appreciate Ultra High Quality Sound reproduction and how awesome it is when the frequencies from 10Hz to 20Khz can be played back, you cannot really hear much below 20 Hz but the feeling is Priceless in my opinion, and yes I have some metal songs that go Down below 20 Hz it is INSANE. 

Good lord did I Derail my train of thought and went completely off topic Sorry about that.
