Hi all,

Wondering what is the difference between speed test sites. I test with testmynet, then speedtest.net at the results are not even in the same ballpark. Even though speedtest.net selects a speed test server in my city, This is still the internet, and the results should be a lot more comparable.

Speedtest.net speed 24Mbps download/ Testmy.net speed 2.4Mbps download.

Thanks all,

Heeter

Just thoguht id continue on this

Strange how south africa is not much slower then i get to parts of the us, when its half as far again the distance from dallas tx?

And newzealand at over 2 times as far

I feel somewhat skeptical that its my isp to blame for connections to the mid/south of america being slow when newyork hits faster. it seems as though the poor routing is mid/south America to Europe? I could be wrong though

Please take note of the distances on the test results

sorry for wasting your time then

to upgrade from 50/5 mb/s to 100/10 mb/s is only £10 (~$15 ish) a month extra, would I notice any extra speed to the U.s. do you know; or would be it near enough the same?

England! lol ya that makes a HUGE difference !

Your speeds to USA are going to be greatly less.

Take a look.

My results to testmy.net from USA :

My results to England (your prefered server) from USA :

See the difference? the distance makes a HUGE factor.

D; I really didn't think there would be that much difference with there being fiberoptic cables joining the countries i didn't think that means any data was lost
