frodoboy Posted February 16, 2006 CID Share Posted February 16, 2006 Please don't forget that these speed bursts only seem affected on testmy.net. If you run a test on dslreports.com or toast.net/performance where you can actually SEE what you are downloading, you will find your speeds that are 1300kbps on testmy are actually around 800kbps on the others which makes sense. I don't know why we would be getting these speeds on testmy unless direcway bought them out and is fudging the tests or they just happen to be connected to a really good backbone right now. I don't see any improvement in web browsing or latency anywhere else...only on testmy.net. My speeds tongiht suck but they are still better than Satmex5!!! :::..

fikester Posted February 16, 2006 CID Share Posted February 16, 2006 Seems to me the toast speed site shows way different speeds on each server selected...every body has a favorite ?

frodoboy Posted February 16, 2006 CID Share Posted February 16, 2006 I was being a little sarcastic but Dway HAS bought out sites where speed tests are run and there are forums where people constantly complain...why wouldn't people complain? I mean if you had such a horrendous service and you wanted people to be happily duped, why wouldn't you pad the test scores??? I didn't really mean Dway bought testmy...but it has happened! The big question is how testmy does the speed test. Do they use a text file, graphics file, a combination or what? If you run the largest text only file on toast.net, you will be amazed! If you run the largest graphics only, you will be disappointed! If testmy changed the parameters of the download test so it is less processor intensive, the test speeds will go up. At least I think this is the way it works. If you try this yourself and download a large text file from a web site and then download a similar sized graphics file from the same web site, the graphics file will take longer to download if it is opened on your computer as it is downloading. This, to me, is the true test of speed since web pages don't download completely before you can see them. If they did, you would have a blank screen but then presto! My speeds are back up now but they definitely still drop off during prime time but not as bad as with satmex5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
