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.

Ok I am not up to date as I was Prior to Disabling myself ( Not on purpose of course) What is channel Overlap? Better yet Suggestions on where I can go read the best up to date info on wireless, IPV4, IPV6, MOCA, DOCSIS 3.0 or whatever is newest in works? Be easier then trying to explain plus I can learn so much by reading on my time etc. I am still interested in this stuff just so much inability at times to do anything. Sad as I have all the time in world LOL just no energy or to much pain discomfort to even get online. Just seen your reply EB, Thanks, no Cel phone, USe my ASUS G73 SW ROG Laptop ( Brag Brag Was Best Gaming laptop when I got it 2011, yet I do not play games anymore, so Lame huh? When I did play games had SH*&^ for a computer of anykind. I will check that out thanks again. I do have this wait No ASUS wireless just turns on and off wifi and the no longer useable WIMAX ability. Only thing to show networks or strength or anything is Windows 7 wireless dodad

Brrrrr Beeep Whooooo Crrrrrrrr Worble Warble Weeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee. There ya go feel better now?? LOL I remember a couple years ago a awesome Software called Tweetdeck. It allowed you to Post to Facebook, Twitter, Myspace, 4 square plus others if you added the API ( Yadda Yadda) etc, to the optional connections. It ruled I could see all tweets, facebook posts etc. in one window ( Program) with separate columns and post to one or all at same time, add photos, set up auto tweets etc. Then Twitter bought it, Revamped ( I mean totally Destroyed anything good about it) and then attempted to issue updated "Better Version" Of course they imediately removed ability to post or view Facebook, Myspace, 4 Square and made it Twitter only and removed the awesome feature allowing you to put more then 144 characters in a tweet. It was awesome and a great Idea only to be ruined by Twitter. That so P*&^%ed me o^^ something terrible as I loved that program. Especially when I was working with a Guitar Instructor whom did free online Guitar Live podcasts I could set up auto tweets posts to go out like 30 min before podcats and then again at 5 min prior while I was busy running QC on his video and sound etc prior to each podcast ( Since it was Live it had to be checked each one as there was no way to edit or fix once in session. Anyway enough rambling from me

I see No One has commented but Still, I hate this 5 Ghz System , I have a strange feeling it is Comcast and not Cisco to blame for the unstable 5 Ghz connection. At times I look at my computer states I am connected at 300Mbps other times ( Like 3 seconds later) it drops to 120Mbps then I have even seen it at 54Mbps. What kills me is I am only at most 50' away from the Wireless Gateway Basically 7 Feet to my open door on room down hall maybe 15' and into the "Office" my G-Friend uses where the cable and phone plug happen to be located. Even when I do not move my laptop this connection jumps all over the spectrum like stated above. I would use the 2.4 Ghz connection but have 3 other devices connected to that system ( wait 4) I forgot that the Comcast MOCA System uses the 2.4Ghz connection too. I am the only one that has ability to use 5 Ghz in the house so that being said I would expect much better performance out of it. plus 2.4Ghz seems limited to a max of 144 Mbps My awesome Test result in Signature was acquired vie Wired Lan right after Comcast finally increased my speed tier like they had been advertising for months. I assume they did not cap it at first as I was pulling this speed for a few hours then it got capped at 105Mbps.

Ya, I kinda figured it was basically a name change. Kind of Like when Qwest went to Centurylink , I suspect in hopes people will not remember what a crapy company and internet access they had been providing. I find it the same way as Comcast has tried to implement the Xfinity name and I am finding in that instance my service using the X1 platform has been nothing but a pain in my Arse. Seems boxes always seem to be unable to communicate with the X1 platform. I remember back years ago I used Netscape much more then IE ( What ever happened to Netscape anyway?) Did it become Google chrome? Oh Something I just realized. This Opera system, Is it owned by SONY? I ask as my new BD Player uses Opera for the internet communication stuff I believe as I have seen that name a lot when setting it up and upgrading firmware etc.

So has anyone heard of Microsoft's decision to dump Internet Explorer and start up a new Internet Browser called Project Spartan? I was curious as to some feedback or opinions you all have about this??] I guess some of the idea is due to the bad rap that IE got awhile ago and that they have not been able to come out from under so decided to make a new one. Or maybe it is IE 12 with a new rapper?? Kinda like when Qwest became Century link or Comcast went to Xfinity.
