Nice !

I love this quote, how true is that!

Sounds like time to start the process over again

Browsers are for the most part torched anymore. Silently, it would seem, many players battling over the very interface everyone's first contact to the net. Nothing truly changes, outside of who is collecting what data, and who can draw less attention to who is collecting said data. 1160 Mbps geezus NICE!

Since you were good enough to set an auto test, it's very helpful in showing network data on and off peak as you say. Which gives the appearance of throttling to protect all users from a deficiency in total bandwidth. You might do well setting these tests over longer periods of time, or each day I should say, allowing the tests to run for as long as you can configure them. Do this for several days during the weekday, and then again on weekends. It will show a consistent drop off at specific times if throughput is set to be capped at a specific time during the day.

At first glance the latency 'dip' appears as network congestion during the test, some type of QOS, or if this is happening on all tests, could be power fluctuations within the first line node. Or any number of other issues actually. As far as speedtest, it's not showing the latency because it discards such findings. Why is anyone's best guess. But great for ISP's since it will not show issues such as you have pointed out in testmy.net results.

Little harsh there bud?

Not sure, I see nothing wrong over here. Try with a different browser? See if something locally has changed?

Reason for turning off one of the two, or only using one device for wireless access, to keep it simple, Depending on frequencies of each wireless access point or channel, two devices can interfere with one another, in a sense cancelling each other out, or to that effect and have intermittent results in connectivity. I would dare bet you'll see immediate positive results from CA3LE's suggestion.

First question is it appears as the modem has wireless capabilities. Are you using the ASUS and the modem both as wireless nodes, are they working together or have you configured one as a repeater, what about channels, if they are both running wireless, and what is their physical distance from one another if so. Network configuration / topology would be a help.

Try running a few tests here, to several different servers. First use the Dallas baseline, then move around to others and you might consider using the multi-threaded tests as well. I see no tests taken here for reference against a known flawed flash test of ookla.

Many of us have those sounds embedded in the skull. In fact though I've been talking about it for a while, I plan to grab a dialup service connecting it to a modem (the modems before they muted the sounds). The ISP I have offers free dialup connectivity with the plan I have. Though no land line connected here Before the 56k's were out, and after, we bonded two lines. a god you say, getting people to believe your connection speed was another entirely different challenge. BTW, another Ohioan here NW, so we have three of the four corners covered in this thread.

I have to say missmoondog, gaining network knowledge would benefit the overall understanding of how data travels. Blaming testmy.net for ISP, local machine, peering, traffic on any number of various levels and or any combination of many other aspects, is not valid. For instance, if I had an agreement with an access provider for 10MBps down, and tested within the main ISP network to 90% +/- at advertised throughput, would I be happy, yes. If i did not know any better. However this is not a true test. Hence why testmy.net is outside of any ISP network. And it's main baseline server is located on the nations largest most well connected pipe. Testmy.net has no control over what speeds the individual user is able to achieve. These feel good flash test scripts are for the most part located within top level ISP tiers, which are interconnected within fiber nodes peered together, for the most part. Of course they will show the best throughput, there is nothing else in the way, like the realities of actual 'internet' usage. Everything important (that a true test of real world usage requires) is skipped, where the weakest link the data travels through is the machine being tested from and users personal drop, then to the ISP's node, how is this a test other than to verify connectivity to the ISP highest level?

Looks like you've outgrown your incredible hulk underoos! Big boy now I see

I did a small bit of 'looking', I would dare to bet this is far from intentional. I see a few others as well, that are now being called under 'guest' . So lets wait and see what Ca3le has been up to. Hang tight.

Freaking fantastic! ==> punk

Thats great example of how to utilise what resources you have in front of you. Your test results appear to be consistant. Enjoy that celibacy from the hustle, enjoy the cows

Outside of time traveling back 15+ years ago when ucapping modems was a viable option (highly illegal then and now) , I'm not seeing any way for this to happen, other than upgrading the connection through the ISP. A solution might be to record the video, then upload to youtube or your preferred media stream choice. At this point, getting started with google adsense to monetize the video content, once the video's begin generating revenue from views, you'll then have capitol to pay that extra cost involved with more upload bandwidth.

Yes exactly. My suggestion is to spin up a minimal install, get the network going and learn basic commands. aka: top, ntop, nano(basic editor), find out where your network config files are and get familiar with them, yum/aptiude/apt /(distro specific package managers used to add, change update specific applications or the entire system) wget(grab a file) , find where your repo settings are, how to add / remove them. Learn to search for available package (applications and dependencies specific to your distro and version). After this then install the desktop GUI from command line.

Do it. Play. And do it until it's no longer fun. Then figure it out and have some real fun.

Only needs using an ad blocker on windows systems, and only because of the trash putting executables on-load. pieces of shit. These low life scumbags might have the white matter to build putrid code, which i commend them for btw, then instead of putting it on the titty sites, they dump them where some other pin head allows them within their ad network. You should be able to visit any site without the concern for tripe getting in, but you can't. Too many jerk off's with no scruples trying to peer in on you, or puke eaters trying to use your system as a network to do worse things to someone else. Not blocking ads on this system, nor would I. Unless I expect to start paying for services to keep valuable resources available. As a note, I've never had an issue with testmy.net, not once. Many years ago there were a few ads that were questionable, but that's stretching it to my opinion. Not fact.

I've done something I really never cared for doing. Installed an ad blocker for that machine. Works, flawless. Although the proprietors of that site are on to it, they have literally dozens of ads on each page ok, and literally thousands of separate boards. With ad blocker, none of the posted content shows. However, ha freaking ha, no biggie, jut google the board and pop in that way. Dummies. Believe me, it's the site. TERRIBLE, and i mean the worst. And I'm not new to this game. It's in the top 2900 sites on planet Earth. 1.8 million page views per day. Not bad.

Broham, stop the madness and just install openSuse

Chrome is no different outside of being able to see the tiny exe come in , in the lower left hand corner, as it happens. Commodo browser blocks nothing of this sort either. I am writing a txt file that will eventually be implemented into the edge firewall, to block specific ad networks that are producing this. It will take the week to get them.

Ads are getting very much putrid when it comes to a select number of sites I use daily. Some of which bypass the popup filter, and even redirected pages. I came across one late last week, and the previous week, that automatically downloaded 'install.exe' , how convenient . The most frequent is a redirected page that claims adobe is out of date, when you see it, the only way to not get the auto download is to stop the browser within task manager manually. So what browser all in all have you found to be the most impenetrable ?
