Awesome, CA3LE ! You are the man. Any chance that you could create something similar for upload results? I am going to see how I will use these results. Really appreciate it.

Hello Ca3LE, I was wondering if you had chance to add this info somewhere? Name of ISP and number of tests being performed on the ISP is a good data to have for our study. thx, Vineet

Hi CA3LE, A list of providers ranked by amount of test would give me how popular an ISP is? I guess so, because it's safe to say that more the number of tests .. more popular the ISP is. I can then look at the ISP's last 250 test results and figure out average up/down rates. That will give me some idea about what speeds large chunk of population actually experience. Is such list available? Btw, thanks for making upload and download as seperate tests This helped us immensely in testing % degradation on simultaneous transfers. Vineet

Hello - My team is evaluating technology for consumer electronics/entertainment purpose. Our customers are end users, connected to the internet via residential broadband connections. I have been researching the realistic upload and download bandwidth our customers get at home. I like testmy.net's database on various ISPs. However, it doesn't tell me exactly how many people use a given ISP and how they are distributed in North America. Comcast, Rogers, Cox and few other ISPs boast high numbers, but it's hard to tell how widely there services are available. We are interested in finding out numbers on lower side of the scale which cover large population. Idea is that, if our service worked for lower tier connection rates - it will be easily cover other markets. Is there a study out there? or even rough estimates of ISP and geography/number of people they serve? Akamai has few reports, so has netflix. We are ok to pay for such report too. thanks, Vineet
