All fixed.  Thank you for the heads up!

I see what you're talking about and will fix it tomorrow.  
 
thank you for reporting this.

Is this just me or is this reproducible?
 
Best regards, h

... you should see my email.  I have dozens, maybe hundreds of these.  I usually just ignore them.  When I do respond, they never respond back.
 
This is a quick search of my inbox for "internet slow" ... these are recent, within the last month.  And this is only the ones caught by those specific keywords.  lol
 

 
Gotta love this one...
"I want my internet fixed it's slow!"  -- talk about shooting the messenger.  Often they're far more rude than that.  
 
... the last one caught my eye...
 
 
Awwww man!  That was just a nice guy who wanted my help.  His email got caught up with the others.  I'm sorry Harsh!  [emailed him just now and shared this topic]
 
I don't know why some people always think that I have some control over their speed.  If I did, everyone would be at least as fast as I am! 
 
I also get angry people wanting me to fix their bills.  Again, if I had control over that, your bill would be $0. 
 
 

I got your messages too...
 

 
I get messages like this almost daily.
 
Please keep in mind, TestMy.net is a third party speed test and is not affiliated with your ISP.  We're here to help you. 
 
Just like you I'm an average consumer.  When I was 15 in 1996 I wanted to see how fast my internet speed was and I couldn't find a proper tool so I started to build what would become TestMy.net in 2002.  I build TestMy.net so that people like us have a testing platform outside of ISP control.
 
I'm sorry you're having ongoing issues with Hughes, it's a common theme around here.  I rarely meet any satellite user who's truly happy.  I assume where you live you have little options, right?  Can you get a 4G connection yet?  Maybe with the right equipment a cell connection might help.  How much data are you transferring monthly?

97% slower than the national average.  Now THAT is something to boast about, at least as it regards "SLOWEST." ?
 

 
Broadband just doesn't get much slower and still be properly called "broadband."  95% slower than the national average.
   

@Fredor5 Is this where you found TestMy.net?  https://vimeo.zendesk.com/hc/en-us/articles/224968848-Playback-quality-and-buffering-issues
 
Thank you for the link Vimeo!
 
Cool, there's more.
 

I was getting test results of 16mbps until Vimeo recomended I use this site , which showed 8mbps , I complained to Optus and now I am getting 47 mbps

They get a bad rap, but I've had them for 20 years and have only had 1 problem with "regular" service. That was 6-7 years ago they were doing line work in our neighborhood and my speed dropped for a few hours then went out for 30 minutes.
Even with storms they've been incredibly reliable. We live on the Southwest Gulf coast of Florida very close to the water. After Hurricane Charlie in 2004, Wilma 2005 and Irma 2017, internet was never down or was back on within a day.
With a 10 year old, 13 year old, myself and my wife using a 4K LED smart TV, 3 flat screen 1080p LCD TVs, 2 Kindles, 3 Android phones, 1 iPhone, Xbox 360, Xbox One, 2 gaming PCs and who knows what else, the 1 terabyte a month data allotment has been gone over a few times. In my opinion they need to bump that up a little since I believe my situation is becoming more common. I had never thought about it before I bought one, but a 4K 65" LED Smart TV eats quite a bit of bandwidth.
 
And remember, FIGHT TO REINSTATE NET NEUTRALITY!!!
 

Since my connection speed is 96% slower than my local Host users' speed, shouldn't I be paying only like, $1.34 per month, accordingly?
 
Peace,

Thank you for the heads up.
 
This is most likely related to the following topic and should no longer be an issue...
 
 
I'm working on logging when there are connection issues detected during the test in a future version.

Appreciate the assistance.  I tested using my cellular phone as a mobile hot spot with USB tethering.  It worked well so I bought a hot spot and will be attempting to use that now.  Thank you for responding.

I had a similar experience a few years back. At the time I was using Charter internet and nothing else. It was Doc sis 3.0 And I used a Motorola modem and a Netgear router, both set up for Doc sis 3.0 . I was experimenting with several Insteon products, including a handheld remote whereby I could establish several "scenes" with my stereo set up. That included dimming lights, setting up a  on the amp, choosing background (pop, rock, concert hall, outdoor stage, etc. At the time there were 4 channels download that could be linked together to give me a pretty powerful signal one the amp with built in equalizer, and two preamps  throughout the house, which was a sprawling ranch style.  At the time I had a test bed desktop which was where I loaded the software for all the Insteon products. I tried Wi-Fi extenders without much success. I was pretty much top of the line with my modem/router set up, and an engineer suggested a Net gear 5 port Gigabit Desktop powered switch. The idea was to lower the power consumption by better than half. I did that, changing the location of several control spots, including the Inspiron software control center. The difference was incredible. I was running 3 lines of  1 gig internet to TWO  inexpensive test beds, and dropped my overall consumption to a point where I had more power that I actually needed. It took a little experimentation. The Wi-Fi on the motherboards was insufficient to carry a strong enough signal from one end of the house to the other. I threw together another test bed, and split the load. I bought two PCIe Wi-Fi transmitters and the entire set up was the best thing I ever built. With Docis mating together, I often had download speeds
in excess  of 80 t0 90 Mbps. One thing: The house was 27 years old at the time and had had Dish, DirecTV, and just plain internet. The 
cables from the box outside looked to be about the same age. I replaced all the cable from beginning to end. There were no less than 18 splitters and plugged in antenna amps throughout the attic. Not one of them had a terminator cap on it, and before I cleaned it out my noise to signal ratio was 59%.After replacing the cable it dropped to less than 25.
 
I wish you the best of luck.

I'll keep this in mind when I start on the database searching improvements.  Development on that will start shortly after the new beta is released.
 
What I was planning on doing is having it aggregate the user agent information.  So it will search through your result details, group the user agents and allow you to do more detailed searches.  You'll also be able to select multiple identifiers.  So you can select "Android & iOS" for instance or select the inverse to see only desktop and laptop results.
 
If you want to be part of the beta group, vote "Yes" on this topic >> 
 
 
It's an old topic from the last beta of the version you're using today... a fresh beta is coming soon.
 

Screaming fast

Looks like there was already a result in the database with the same testID.  It won't allow an overwrite of the same ID.  It's supposed to check for that, I'll look and see why it didn't.  Maybe I turned that off at some point and didn't realize... Even with that check disabled it's extremely rare to conflict with other testID's. 
 
It's like 36^9 combinations, but I have seen it before and you just confirmed it again.  I'll make sure that's not an issue for you in the future. 
 
1.0155996e+14 that's a lot of combinations.  1.3537087e+16 combinations if I switched to cAsE sEnSiTiVe
 
Better go buy a lottery ticket.

YEEEEEEEEEeeHAAAAAAAAAaaaaaaW!!!  Only 97% slower than my "city average."   Flyin' high in the sky this morning!  Doggies!  It jez don't git much better n' that ..for me! .. Literally!
 

I respectfully disagree.  ...That's 'painfully' slow!  

Can you believe I'm happy, given that DSL is my only means for broadband way to Hades out here in the woods!  Haha  ..  I'm only in the lowest 94% echelon, compared to my server's average.  But, it's a helluva lot better than Windows 95 and AOL dial-up!   Well, somewhat improved.

Hi from southern sask. Canada.Old guy here just checking this stuff out,seems to be an honest down to earth site.Looking forward to making sense of this info,late getting into tech age things.

You may be seeing the same thing I experienced when I tried to upgrade a while back.  I'll have to do some digging to find the topic.
 
What ended up happened in my case... I reverted back to my old package.  Although the new package was faster on the top end it had such a slow ramp up after the upgrade that I favored my old package.
 
The new package required a new modem (16 channel).  As with many previous cable internet speed upgrades over the years I was excited to upgrade, newer modem usually means great things.  But that's just not at all what I observed with TestMy.net.  Other tests, especially speedtest.net, will show higher results.  They don't work like TestMy.net... they combine threads to achieve the highest possible speed.  Good to know but it only shows part of the performance picture.  For a multithread comparison within TMN you should try TestMy.net's multithread speed test - make sure you disable the option when you're done to test as you normally do.
 
My conclusion was that the newest, "fastest" packages from Comcast we're not what I was expecting.  Again, fast top end but really slow starting out.  It's like having a Lamborghini that can only drive in 4th-6th gear... eventually it will win a LONG race but for most stuff it just didn't stack up to the slower package with less threads.  The "slower" package jumps off the line like a Tesla.  Instantly up to speed with little ramp up at all.  By the time the 16 channel modem would ramp up my "slower" modem/package was already done with the race ...and the next one.
 
Sometimes higher package speed doesn't equate to higher results on a single computer.  It might just equate to more computers and devices that can be aggressively pulling resources without affecting each others speed as much.  Personally, I favor my off the line performance more than the top end or being able to serve more devices.  Especially with how bad it was in this case.  I switched back and my results instantly fell back into line with the performance curve I expect.  By the way, I'm still easily able to serve over 20 devices on my connection.
 
That was the first time a cable upgrade disappointed me and needed to be switched back to previous settings.  Hey... at least I saved money because I no longer needed a new modem and the "slower" package is cheaper.  TestMy.net saved me money by showing me that I actually performed better on a cheaper package.
