Well I have always liked the test here, because most other speedtest are only good at showing your powerboost speed. I have been driving a few of my local cox techs crazy last few months, because for one I don't find it acceptable for my speeds to dip into the mid to low 30's during peak usage, and also there has been a noise issue that pops up on and off again, it makes it hard to pin point for the cox guys i know. I just sent the one cox guy a message two days ago, because I thought the packet loss issue was gone, and last night/this morning it shows it face again.

Well I always clean my browsers with CCleaner, and I think something might of trigger these browsers to not work right with testmy.net, because other test work fine on firefox. No I am not blaming testmy test either. I should probably just reformat my pc, But I am to lazy to do that right now. I will just start using google chrome in place of IE, because IE9 is a buggy POS anyways. I will use firefox as my backup for now. I now just wish my ISP cox would get busy adding another downstream channel or two. Because my 50/5 service now suffers during peak usage, where I only see low 30's during that time. But thats what happens when your market has been D3 for over a year, and only has two downstream channels, that are now starting to get overloaded during peak usage hours. Oops I know a little off subject, just venting a little.

Well I don't know if I am posting in the right section. But I am wondering why when doing the download test on here, I always get low 30's with IE, and FF. I have cox's 50/5 connection. Using Google chrome it reports correct download speeds of about 50-55mbps down. So is there any known tweaks for them two browsers I need to know about to work correctly on the speedtest here?
