  1. That is pretty amazing. I only have an iPhone 4 and an iPad 2. My download speeds avg about 12 Mbps on the phone, and about 14 on the iPad. Here's an iPhone test from a minute ago :::..

  2. Kind of amazing that you can use a tablet and get speeds 500 times what we used to get on the fastest home computers not all that long ago. I can't say as I really miss the singing gurgling RS232 modem sounds. Half the time, that sound resulted in a no-connection. Haha And Biggles: China probably owns 1/2 of Dallas.
  3. Great! :::..

The variation in the TiP data points is about what I would expect. With this ISP I see quite a bit of variation depending on prime time vs non-prime time. My "normal" comdition extremes are about 8 to 18 Mbps average download speeds depending on time of day, with about 15 Mbps being my new long term average. It was only 8 under their old service last year. This is very useful stuff CA3LE. Thanks
  4. I'm only semi-skilled here. What does TiP stand for? And why are the TiP measurements different from the Download Connection Speed?
  5. Are all your and your parent's computers and the ps3 on WiFi or are some connected via Ethernet?
  6. On the TestMy Home page, read all of the info on the tabs (mid page) marked: Internet Speed Test, Information, What Males TMN Different, and Speed Test Principals. In short, all,of the test tools that you've likely used to date are inaccurate. The ISPs use them because they have been fine tuned to show the ISP performance to be some high number, even when the real performance is much less than those tools show. If you want to know what your real world up/sown speeds are in a much more representative environment, TMN is what you should use. Your speeds however are significantly lower than than what their plan limits are advertised to be indicating to me that you may have a problem. My history with Time Warner in the past has been that I register download speeds here that were 1/3 to 1/2 or so of the speeds registered on their speed measuring tools. Upload speeds historically were about 80% of what their tools showed. Lately, since they upgraded their service, I'm showing right at their "guaranteed" download on average. Upload speeds still 80%. Also historically, their tools showed me to be getting 2 to 2.5 times their "guaranteed" speeds. I don't know how the ISPs get away with the use of these tools. It would seem a class action suit should be filed, but since virtually all the ISPs use the ookla Flash based tools or something similar, the suit would be suing the world, and would likely be hard to get any significant damages, so nobody sues. The fact that your download speed though is only 1/6 of your 50 Mbps plan claim, it seems like there's some sort of problem. Can you hardwire right to your cable modem and tell us what you get? There are times though when I consistently get about 1/2 Time Warner's 15 Mbps "guaranteed" min. Normally this occurs during the day, and often later at night, speeds are up again.

  8. My speed limitation is with my ISP. My iPad TMN speed measurements are about the same on the iPad as they are on the iMac which is a wired Ethernet thru my AirPort Extreme, gigabit switch to my router which is 10/100. The modem I have is a Motorola SurfBoard DOCISS 2 and my ISP Time Warner's RoadRunner is a 15 Mbps down/1 Mbps up turbo service....cheap. The iPad gives me speeds right at the ISP's 15 Mbps rating, sometimes higher. The iMac is maybe 10-15% faster usually. So my RoadRunner package limits my speed. The TMN website acts really well on the iPad Safari. I don't do much measuring on my iPhone 4, because with the iPad, I don't do much on the web with the phone because of all the re-sizing you have to do to read stuff. the iPad is way better.
  9. robd53....hi from SW Ohio in the US. CA3LE speaketh the truth. Those other sites give results that are not the truth. The value in the tests here are that when there is a problem or bottleneck, it shows in the results. Start collecting test data to baseline your numbers here when your equipment is operating normally. If you do most of your communicating with sites in Europe, use the Amsterdam server he suggests. If it's here in the states, use the Dallas one. Either way, once you establish what your "normal" results are, you can use variation from that average to determine your connection quality. It's a more real world result, and valuable because of that fact. The only time I got any useful results from the ISP's ookla type sites was when the ISP's equipment had actually failed so bad intermittently that my connection speeds on their site showed almost zero. On another occasion, when my ISP's equipment had a signal out of range hi, the quality of their signal was degraded to the point where TestMy's speed tests indicated a problem, while the ISP's flash-ookla system showed the meter pegged into the green.

    Hello!

    And according to 3 emails I received this week, I have inherited somewhere in the neighborhood of $40 million.

  11. the full browser site looks good on an iPad. I don't use the mobile optimized version. The site seems pretty well behaved on an iPad - it's actually quite good compared to even some so-called Mac sites.

    Hello!

    Yeah, I looked at his/her profile, and this was the only post.

    Hello!

    I think you shot the bot
  14. I have Time Warner Cincinnati's RoadRunner, $45/mo, 15 Mbps down, 1 Mbps up. No data limits that I know of or could find. My usage is normally between 120 and 150 GB per month-we watch a lot of streaming video on Netflix and Amazon Prime Instant Video They are starting to offer an "Essentials" plan, which has a 5 GB limit per month. It's only $5 cheaper though, so forget that. I don't know if they plan on raining the price of what I have now though.
  15. Pretty good for a week's average on Time Warner Cincinnati's base Internet service. This is pretty typical now with the faster service they provided as of the first of the year (15 Mbps "guarantee" vs the old 10). On the Dallas TMN server. On the old service, I was averaging about 8 Mbps Down, and about the same Up The numbers are with 25 MB / 1 MB test files. Down / Up
  16. I have a similar setup in my house. An Ethernet connected iMac (plugged into the AirPort Extreme), and two iPhones, two iPads and a MacBook Pro connected wirelessly thru the AirPort Extreme. I have various other Ethernet connected BluRay players, a dual G4 Powermac, and a Roku hooked up to a gigabit switch and that all goes to a router then to the modem. the AirPort Extreme hooks to that switch also. I occasionally have to reset my modem, but only every other month or more. Them telling you that the AirPort Extreme is the bottleneck is just BS. I get Time Warner's "guaranteed" 15 MBps upload speeds even on my iPads. Not sure which Airport model you have (Extreme or Express). also not sure if your desktop Ethernet is connected to the Airport (if it's an Extreme base station). Describe your whole setup to us. It's hard to define some troubleshooting steps without knowing more about how you have everything hooked up. One thing you can do when you're having a problem (before resetting the modem) is to take the laptop and tie it directly to the cable modem....disconnect the router connection if that's what you have. If you're still aging the problem, it's likely that the problem is either the modem or their hardware outside. If you've called them multiple times, then they should send a skilled technician out to check out their equipment. They can't tell everything from their nome base, they need to come out to your house. In the next to last paragraph, "aging" should have been "having"
  17. I trust "phone strangers" even less than "email strangers". The scams in email these days though are so ridiculous they're humorous to read. I inherit millions every day. The ones that post copies of legitimate banks' websites are the scary ones.
  18. Happy to report that the upload speeds on the TMN Central server are still "fixed". whatever happened there on the 7th has made the issue go away. I'm getting similar Upload speeds on the Central, Automatic, Chicago Demo, Dallas Demo, and Doolgo servers. I'm getting similar Download speed results on the Central, Chicago Demo, and Dallas Demo servers. The Automatic server gives me slightly lower download speeds (~20%), which is understandable given it's more circuitous routing (at least that's what my understanding is). The Doolgo Demo server download speeds are still only about 1/3 of what "normal" is on the Central, Chicago Demo, and Dallas Demo servers give, but that's understandable given the comments I've heard about that server. I'm beginning to re-learn what "Normal" upload speeds are since Time Warner upgraded their base serve from 10 to 15 Mbps minimum. What's amazing is that I'm typically exceeding that 15 Mbps number by a little. In the past, under their prior 10 Mbps service I exceeded the minimum maybe two or three times in a year. I have a Motorola DOCISS 2 cable modem. I can buy a DOCISS 3 for about $75. I'm wondering if that upgrade would buy me much given that I'm already typically exceeding the 15 Mbps min they "guarantee". Any thoughts on that? Also, I've never once reached Time Warner's 1 Mbps "guaranteed" upload speed either under their old or their new upgraded service. I've always gotten about 0.8 Mbps. Not sure if a DOCISS 3 modem would help with that either
  19. As of right now, the Central and Auromatic TestMy servers are now giving me the correct upload speed measurements. Things look right with both my wireless iPad and my wired iMac. Thanks Some time today, things got well: Central TestMy server Thu Feb 07 2013 @ 12:05:58 pm 1 MB Upload: 454 Kbps Thu Feb 07 2013 @ 10:38:28 pm 1 MB Upload: 792 Kbps
