php Posted July 7, 2006 CID Share Posted July 7, 2006 It depends on a lot of factors... partly your distance and route to each server. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

killb Posted July 8, 2006 Author CID Share Posted July 8, 2006 Understandable that the distance does make a difference. I live in Az so the speak easy (in california) should definately be faster as I believe testmy.net is through tx. I don't get why most of the time testmy.net reports a faster download though. Being on Cox (a cable connection) I know that bandwith gets ate up and all that fun stuff and this is why I test at different times/days...I want to make sure that I'm getting what I paid for bottome line! Either way, I suppose that if it was a dedicated line I'd be able to isolate what I think is an issue. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
killb Posted July 8, 2006 Author CID Share Posted July 8, 2006 I take it back...speak easy's server is actually out of washington. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
