What are your average Upload and Dowload speeds on this site? And what are your ISP's guaranteed numbers for Up,and Down?

My download speeds using Europe are ~ 1/2 my typical 8 Mbps using the Central US. Server. Uploads at both were about the same: 0.8 Mbps.. Time Warner Roadrunner in Cincinnati is pretty slow. I have one of their cheap plans.

I had symptoms like that with Time Warner twice. Both times it turned out to be signal integrity issues with their hardware out at a box near the street. Once the signal level was too high. Another time it was too low. On their first trip they'll check the level and integrity of the signal inside your house - going into the modem. Time Warner can test signal levels remotely and identify one that is bad. Comcast can probably do that too. But if it's intermittent, it might not show as out of range during your phone call. One of the times mine failed only when the temperature outside got below 40 F. Insist that they come out and check your modem input. They have sophisticated enough equipment to figure out if the problem is the signal or the modem. If it's other hardware inside the house though they won't help on that. They're responsive to people with troubles, you may have to contact them more than once if they can't detect a problem remotely. Since you can explain all you've tried and they know your problem is real, they may schedule an appointment on the first call.

It does suck. They are broke, and cutting every cost they can. You have to wonder though what the real cost of maintaining it was. It couldn't have been much compared to what it was contributing to.

I'm a little confused with the configuration of that MacBook Pro. The specs you show above look more like a MacBook Pro 5,3 from 2009. When I look up the specs on The MacBookPro1,1 on MacTracker: Model Identifier MacBookPro1,1 Introduced January 2006 (Shipped February 2006) Discontinued May 2006 Order Number MA463LL/A (1.83 GHz), MA464LL/A (2.0 GHz) Processor Intel Core Duo (T2400, T2500, T2600) ("Yonah") Processor Speed 1.83, 2.0 or 2.16 GHz Architecture 32-bit Number of Cores 2 Cache 2 MB on chip shared L2 cache System Bus 667 MHz Benchmarks 1.83 GHz: 2291, 2.0 GHz: 2458, 2.16 GHz: 2660 Storage 80, 100, 120 GB (5400-rpm) or 100 GB (7200-rpm) Maximum Memory 2.0 GB Memory Slots 2 - 200-pin PC2-5300 (667MHz) DDR2 SO-DIMM Ethernet 10/100/1000BASE-T (RJ-45) (support for jumbo frames) The newest OS that this MacBook Pro can run is 10.6.8. Lion was not supported on the Core Duo processors. I don't know why it would be that much slower since it does have Gigabit Ethernet, unless that older model isn't connecting as 1000 Base T - maybe it's less forgiving about the cable capacitance. Is the cable a CAT 6 ? if it's a CAT 5, maybe it's reverting back to 100 Base T. But even with 100 Base T it doesn't seem like it would be that much lower....not sure. The only other speed bottlenecks on that machine would be the 2 Meg RAM limit, and the 80 GB hard drive being very full. But I don't know in your case if either is having an effect. Probably not if only the browser is running. Disregard the above post. Your model is a Mac Pro not a MacBook Pro. I misunderstood. The only comment above that still would apply would be about the Gigabit Ethernet and the CAT 5 vs CAT 6 cables because that design was released in 2006. Pleas disregard my comments above. I was confused with the model. Your issue is with a Mac Pro not a MacBook Pro. Sorry about that. The only comment I made that would still apply would bee the short discussion on the Ethernet and the CAT 5 and CAT 6 cables.

Those times on Comcast are a lot faster than what I get on Time Warner RoadRunner. I'm only on a standard 10 MB min down and 1 MB min up plan. Are you on a high performance plan at Comcast?

Also, on the horizontal bar graphs that come up after running a test, what does it say your host average and your city average is?

Sorry. I didn't realize that CCC was Mac only. I used it upgrade my wife's 2006 MacBook Pro with a 7200 rpm 500 GB 2.5" internal boot drive, and cloned her old 80 GB drive with that SW. It went well, and was very easy and intuitive. This page scores the PC software but I didn't try to figure out how they got their scoring data. At least you could start there, then scan for user reviews. http://disk-imaging-software-review.toptenreviews.com/

mudmanc4. I get 1/4 of that on a good day from Cincinnati (Time Warner RoadRunner)

I use Carbon Copy Cloner. It's very good.

CA3LE.....amazing day. You get 5 gold stars.....I don't have any, but you get 'em anyway.

CA3LE-I like being able to go back to results farther than 60 days to look at trends. Thanks I've logged results for about 270 days. My download trend is slightly up (about 10% better than 9 months ago) which is quite astounding given that Cincinnati RoadRunner must be one of the slowest RoadRunners in the country, and very up and down during any given day. My upload trend is flat at a whopping 0.8 Mbps.

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
