bryanlautt Posted October 11, 2006 CID Share Posted October 11, 2006 I was told by my ISP company that testing the speed from the closest server to you would be the most accurate results. Is this why like for instance when i run tests from DSL Replorts and select the florida server it gives me only around 6000, and your site gives me around 12 to 13mb. Thats strange since im from SD and testmy.net is located in texas. my isp has a speed test site located 60 miles from me and i always get 10 to 12mb with theres.
