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.

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

I think you shot the bot

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.

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

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"

E.S.A.D........Eat Sh#t And Die

Hahaha. That was bizarre and a riot

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.

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

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

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

As of right now, the Central and Auromatic TestMy servers are now giving me the correct upload speed measurements.

Yes. the Doolgo server seems to have a log jam somewhere. At times it gives me about 1/2 the download speeds I measure on the default TestMy central server. Interestingly though, it does give me what I think is my correct Upload speeds. I still think there's an issue with the upload test process on the Central and Automatic TestMy servers. I don't think it's a calculation error because the test takes almost twice as long as it should....with 0.5, 1.0, and 1.5 MB test file sizes. There's something different going on during the test that wasn't there prior to the morning of Feb 2. I get about 0.8 Mbps on all three demo servers, and only about 0.45 Mbps on the regular TestMy servers. Historically I've always gotten about 0.8 Mbps upload on any TestMy server. On the Dallas Demo server I just set a personal record with 24.3 Mbps down. That's with Time Warner's most recent upgrade from 10 to 15 Mbps "guaranteed" new faster service that they instituted recently at no extra charge. In the past, my numbers. I don't know how "real" the Dallas Demo numbers are. My averages since TWC's upgrade on the TestMy servers is about 11.5 Mbps.

I also think some of the prior history data that was linked to my "Den/Study" ID went under some other identifier. I only have a few days of history under Den/Study now. I didn't check all of my different computer Idents yet to SE if they got un-linked. This issue is no big deal. I know what normal looks like for each computer. The issue that's a bigger deal (to me) is the low readings for upload testing on the TestMy Central and Automatic server settings. That issue is under: https://testmy.net/ipb/topic/30578-bad-upload-speeds-on-central-automatic-servers-all-day-today-but/ I post these issues only to provide you info for troubleshooting when you get the time. None of it is a source of great aggravation....haha. I'm retired and barely aggravated about anything. CA3LE....disregard my last post. The history data under Den/Study is there. I had 180 days selected at the top of the Results, but I didn't have "Show Max" selected for the graph and table.

CA3LE - I think the issue described in this thread is real. The main TestMy servers measure upload speeds far lower than the beta demo servers - which I think are measuring correctly.

Thanks CA3LE. Sounds good Maybe I needed to clear my browser cache. Even when I was on my default server (Central), I didn't see the button. I logged out then back in but it still wasn't there

Sorry about the "Altomatic" title.

My rule of thumb to get consistent test results is to manually adjust the test size until I get about 12 seconds of test time. This takes a little experimenting at first, but one you have that for Up and Down, you can pick the file sizes quickly enough. The only downside is that you have to do a separate Up and Down tests. The standard Smart Tests give pretty close results, with a bit more variation. And the extra time it takes The Smart Test to get to a big enough file size gets you pretty close to the 12 second number.

Before you run a test, how do you set which Unique Identifier will get the test data - i.e. If I want my iMAc test data to go into the Den/Study, which Menu/Button do I use? I thought there used to be a button on the Home Page to allow you to do this, but it's not there now. When I choose the Download Test from the menu, that page doesn't have the ID button either, nor does the Download test page. I have past test data for Den/Study, but now when I run a new test on the same computer, it's going into some other identifier, and I don't know where it's going. I have to use "All Identifiers" to see the test results under "Your Results"

Another note - I get similar results on my iMac Sun Feb 03 2013 @ 9:33:55 am 1 MB 494 Kbps - upload on Central server Sun Feb 03 2013 @ 9:35:32 am 14.1 MB 16.59 Mbps - download on Central Server Sun Feb 03 2013 @ 10:22:27 am 1 MB 454 Kbps - upload on Automatic Server Sun Feb 03 2013 @ 10:21:58 am 12 MB 10.24 Mbps - download on Automatic server Sun Feb 03 2013 @ 10:29:51 am 1 MB 865 Kbps - upload on Chicago demo server Sun Feb 03 2013 @ 10:31:04 am 12 MB 10.32 Mbps - download on Chicago demo server Sun Feb 03 2013 @ 10:33:35 am 1 MB 909 Kbps - upload on Dallas demo server Sun Feb 03 2013 @ 10:34:40 am 12 MB 14.99 Mbps - download on Dallas demo server Sun Feb 03 2013 @ 10:35:52 am 1 MB 866 Kbps - upload on Doolgo demo server Sun Feb 03 2013 @ 10:36:51 am 12 MB 11.24 Mbps - download on Doolgo demo server

My upload test speeds are always very consistent; never much variation. The same is still true - still very little variation, just a lot lower since yesterday morning. I get similar results using different test sizes on the TestMy servers - 512 K, 1 MB, 1.5 MB. On the Beta servers, there are no 512 K or 1.5 MB file size options, but I get similar consistent speeds using 1 MB or 3 MB test sizes. Note. I see no difference in Download speeds between my historical and current TestMy results. The only difference is the Upload speeds. And all three Beta demo servers give me both Download and Upload speeds consistent with my test history on the TestMy servers.

My TestMy Upload Issue: Something changed between these times - on Central and Automatic TestMy servers Sat Feb 02 2013 @ 1:09:22 am 1.5 MB 833 Kbps Sat Feb 02 2013 @ 8:49:16 am 1.5 MB 474 Kbps - Virtually everything prior to the 1:09 AM test had given me similar results on Central and Automatic TestMy servers - normal is about 800 Kbps - My 14 day upload avg through 02-01-2013 is 777 Kbps Beta server testing today - results similar to yesterday Sun Feb 03 2013 @ 8:21:21 am 1 MB 791 Kbps - on Chicago demo Sun Feb 03 2013 @ 8:22:32 am 1 MB 838 Kbps - on Dallas Demo Sun Feb 03 2013 @ 8:23:30 am 1 MB 794 Kbps - on Doolgo.com Today on TestMy servers Sun Feb 03 2013 @ 8:27:23 am 1 MB 422 Kbps - on Central server Sun Feb 03 2013 @ 8:26:27 am 1 MB 480 Kbps - on Automatic server All tests run using a 1 MB test size, on an iPad 2 with the latest OS and Safari

All three Beta demo servers give me my typical upload speeds. Did something change on the TestMy servers today? It was working fine yesterday. On the Central and Automatic server upload tests I consistently am getting 400-500 Kbps On all three Beta Demo servers I'm getting 800-900 Kbps, which is about what I normally get (and got on the TestMy servers yesterday)

Yeah. Thanks TriRan. After I thought about it for a while I remembered they were still in beta. I posted the viewing issues mostly for feedback to CA3BLE on the beta. Not sure what to make of the speed differences. I've had so many changes lately, I don't know what NORMAL looks like now. Time Warner increased their base Internet package speeds from 10 to 15 Mbps min. And I haven't quite figured out what average is yet on the various TestMy servers. I used to use the East Coast one to check for consistency with the Central server, but the eastern servers are the new beat ones now. They seem to be running fine. Although today I'm getting 1/2 speed uploads on the Central and automatic server selections, but getting full speed on newest beta server.
