Hi Azungu. Welcome. Yes. TestMy is reliable for telling you what speeds you're getting. It tells you the "real" story, unlike the speed test tools the ISP's use. There's some good reading material on the Home page here about why this site is better than others - go to the "Extras" pull down.

Haha. I'm sure it will.

I'm on an iPad, and it may not work the same as on a computer. In " You Results": When I tried to "copy" the graph, it copies a blank page. When I copy the numerical scores (two pictures above the graph showing the results ), it copies: https://testmy.net/av...n1/16&int=1.pngWhen a test completes, on the iPad, you see tabs above the graph. The Result details tab gives you a text of the results. If you hit the Share This Result tab, you get a picture like this: Image URL:

Funny. On an iPad, you don't get the pop up bubbles on your own results. But I get them if I go to the Database/Member Results graph.

I have a slow city. My upload speeds are typically 25% above my City Average, but my city is always about 1/3 of the national average for upload speed. Time Warner RoadRunner in Cincinnati.

I noticed the button just before I read this. Thanks. I like having the button there.

Hi Ark. I've been to the Twin Cities area. It's a nice area. Actually I stayed in Eagan and got to see the Mall of America when it was only about a year old. That trip cost me a car. The day before going there my wife told me she thought if we got a second car for her (she was driving our company leased car > 15K miles per year) we could save $$$ on the end of lease fees and wear and tear by getting her a Miata to drive during the summer months. I did some calculating and told her yeah, it would only cost us an extra $100 a month or so to get it, even though the payment was about 3x that. We didn't talk about it any more or decide one way or the other. When I called her from Eagan two days later, she said "well I got the Miata".

Thanks. I thought you might have had some kind of checklist that you could use for a summary. But who does checklists? Haha

Hahaha. We all have our issues.

My favorite keyboard was the one that came with my 2002 Flat Panel iMac (the 1st flat panel computer I think). I retired the iMac in mid 2010 but I still use the keyboard on my PS3. It had a great feel, a muted noise, and the feel of the keys were great. I had never heard of the roll-over technology either.

CA3LE - whatever you add in the way of statistics to help in troubleshooting an issue would be helpful. But like mudman is saying Just showing mean, std dev, number of complete dropouts, and number of samples used for a test would be helpful in analyzing signal stability when troubleshooting a problem.

CA3LE, Do you have a summary list of the user interface changes you made? I'm interested in what changed and what's new. Some of the changes are very obvious, but there's likely many that changed that I haven't noticed because I either haven't stumbled onto them, or I didn't use them in the prior version and don't know they're different. Just a high level summary. Things like: - Member Results: -It plots and displays data for >60 days now and I don't remember that being true before. And I don't remember the links being there before where you can filter the results to upload or download only in the results table. Also. "It's all HTML5 compliant packed with lots of java goodies." - thanks for the HTML5 compliance. I jump back and forth between my iMac and my iPad, so HTML5 compliance is important to me. Since the iPad doesn't use Java, what java goodies are there, so I'll know to use the iMac for those functions? So far, the new implementation works great on the iPad. I haven't spent much time on your site using the iMac, so I don't know what the java goodies would do for me. And jeez, I wouldn't want to miss anything really cool. Haha

Typing fast on an iPad makes for broken English. Typingnfast on anbiPad makes for broken english

Just presenting a mean and a std dev of a measurement would be an indicator that a user could gauge against an ISP "guaranteed" lower speed limit. This would tell you the variation (the user could pick a sigma level). Calculating Cpk would require the user to enter the target speed min they guarantee, and that seems to be beyond the scope of this site. Based on my experience looking at measurements here and comparing to my ISP's 10 Mbps min "guarantee", I'd say my Cpk would always be something like 1/1,000,000 haha, and everyone elses would probably not be much better. I've only seen my TWC min speed guarantee exceeded a couple of times in hundreds of measurements. It would be interesting if there was a "see details" button that would pull up the mean, std dev, number of complete dropouts, and number of samples used.

And Larka, you will find that under some conditions of degraded signals coming into your house, they will show then speed as being good on your ISP's tools. Also, I don't know what their algorithms are, but you can watch their analog meter during times of signal interrupts (with signals valid or degraded) drop down tomzeronduring the test then display the result as the ending meter value, so they are throwing out the data that makes them look bad. I have no idea whatbtheirnrationale for that is since the tools are supposedly there to help a customer troubleshoot. Interrupts on this site result in a lower throughput reading after the test. There must be either poorly written or perhaps no regulations written that they conform to. I don't know how they get away with advertising the rates they are claiming. On average they never meet them. On my best days my speeds are 20% lower than what my ISP has promised as a minimum,Man's download speeds measured on TMN are typically 1/3 of what their tools says I'm getting. Look at you numbers relative to your prior test results, and compare your results to your local ISPs speeds on this site, and to the ISPs average performance nationally. Once you've established what "good" is, it's easy to spot when there's an issue. my typical numbers are significantly lower than the national averages for Time Warner but usually 5-10% higher than my local average speeds on TMN.

Yeah. I understand not putting the button all over so people will navigate through the site more. Like I said it's not a big deal anyway. It's actually faster to do a retest now on the mobile device because you don't have to be so careful hitting the test link. And good timing on the change-with the release of the new iPhone.

I like the new look. Putting the download and upload tests on separate tabs at the top actually helps on the iPad, and probably even more so on an iPhone, as with the old version, the test choices were on one pull down with multiple links to the tests. It was hard to hit the link you wanted with your finger without stretching the display. The only down side to that change was that the Combined Test now appears only on the Home page as TestMy Bandwidth Now!. When you get to the post test results, you have to go back to the home page to rerun the Combined Test. Not really a big deal though. The benefit on a mobile device of having the separated test tabs at the top is an overriding benefit to that inconvenience, as now you don't actually hit the worng test link. Maybe in the future you could put a copy of the TestMy Bandwidth Now! button on the test results pages. I haven't checked anything else out yet. So far it's looking good though.

Welcome Henry.

I just looked on Apple's website and that MBP is $1199 - so that would be 749 British pound sterling 13-inch: 2.5 GHz 2.5GHz dual-core Intel Core i5 Turbo Boost up to 3.1GHz 4GB 1600MHz memory 500GB 5400-rpm hard drive Intel HD Graphics 4000 Built-in battery (7 hours) In Stock Free Shipping $1,199.00 And my wife's 2006 MacBook Pro is still going strong. All I've done to it is to max out the RAM and swapped the hard drive for. 500 GB 7200 rpm one. It's only a 1.83 GHz Core Duo but it still does everything we need it to pretty quickly. Stuck at OS 10.6.8 but that was a great OS. It's a little slow editing movies but runs web pages, email, Word, Excel, audio, etc plenty fast enough. And I still have her old 1988 Mac SE ($3250), and her 1994 PowerBook 540c (about the same price). They're fun to look at, and still run. I haven't had a virus on a Mac since about 1992. I quit buying anti-virus software about 1995.

How 'bout a high def projector and a very white wall. Hah. I don't really have a good suggestion. Seems like anything USB (even of the price comes down) would eat up a lot of your processor throughput handling high def video. FireWire would be better, but I took a quick look and didn't see anything.

Speaking of human error I had an engineering prof that once gave our class a test where only the answer mattered; no credit for showing the work and though process. He said "Someday you'll have to get the right answer or you could kill somebody". Hahaha the class average on that test was 39%.

Yeah. That does suck if it oops past the local addresses. For sure you should post feedback. http://www.apple.com...t/feedback.html There's some very knowledgeable guys in the forums that usually answer back rational technical questions. https://discussions....y/mac_os/safari There's also 10,000 idiots in there posting - My grandpa messed up my computer. LOL but the tech guys seem to latch on to the real challenges and questions pretty quickly. They like beating the other geeks to the punch. Haha. I've gotten some good help from some pretty sharp guys in there though.

The Safari search thing drove me nuts the first day too. Mine works with a static IP address. Hit the clear button, it'll get rid of the http.....then type the IP address in. I only tried my router login IP address though, so I don't know what it'll do with others. I haven't mastered searching yet; don't yet understand it's logic. Sometimes you get a Google search page, sometimes it goes right to the page you want.

Hi nvptx, I can't get to very much of what Suddenlink has for documentation because they don't service my zipcode. Does Suddenlink have a link on their site to a speed measurement? If so which one is it? I did see this: Suddenlink Network Management Practices. To help mitigate potential network congestion, we are in the process of applying bandwidth usage allowances to residential Internet accounts, with incremental bandwidth automatically provided for a nominal, incremental fee. Only in the relatively few cable systems listed and only through the means described in this document, we may limit the bandwidth available to individuals whose usage materially exceeds the typical customer usage in those cable systems. I didn't check the TestMy database for average speeds from Suddenlink (if there is any data). You could see what their averages are on TestMy. Look at yours relative to those averages (don't worry about the absolute numbers). The bar charts here when the tests finish tell you how you are doing compared to others on your ISP. The percentages are useful in seeing how you are doing compared to the others. Since I couldn't get to a lot of their website info (It wouldn't allow me to get to their support site or detailed plan info), I don't know what they are really offering. You are getting about 5x the bandwidth I see on TestMy on Time Warner's RoadRunner, and I think we pay about $45/mo. Unfortunately for you, it seems that your speeds are somewhat lower since their "upgrade". I don't know whether this is due to some of their load balancing in their network management practices or not. I can tell you this, that the Time Warner RoadRunner I have "guarantees 10 Mbps download and 1 Mbps Upload. My TestMy results average about 20% lower on both up and down from these numbers. The SpeedTest tool that Time Warner has a link to typically reads 3x higher on download, and the upload they show is usually 20% higher. I don't know what you are paying compared to what I'm paying but my $45/month gets me about 8Mbps down and 0.8 Mbps up. The it's a matter of whether you think your monthly fees are in line with what you are getting. I don't know what regulations there are for ISPs meeting their advertised speeds. But virtually all of them use similar optimistic questionable speed measuring tools. And very likely none of them meet their advertised speeds when measured more realistically via TestMy. I haven't researched whether there are any class action lawsuits agains any of the major ISPs for false advertising, but the whole thing seems pretty loose to me.
