What is your favorite speed test site?

[Shug7272]

i personally use tmn because it's the most accurate for me, and i like the way the site is setup with the forum, ping tools, etc. but if tmn is down (like the great crash we had) i use speakeasy, it seems the second closest.

here is a note for you shug, i never use speedtest.net because they only have 1 size speed test it seems,  and if i choose a close server to test, even though i am only on a 3mbps download connection, i still lose a bunch of speed with it. so for me it is extremely inaccurate, because on dumeter(registered) i dont get close to the speed i do on tmn

Noted, thanks. 

i guess i got to ask

you taking notes for what purpose

why do you need our opinion what is the end goal behind this Shug ?

Well basically just the fact that since me and you have been here ( a long time now) I have only recently seen scores from other speed sites being proudly displayed instead of ours. In the past when you went to other forums, people would use our test as a benchmark. Lately it seems to be used as a last resort. I want to know why. We have hardly changed in the past year while other sites have and new ones have popped up. I want to know from the horses mouth what is liked better about the other sites.

yeah, i've noticed that people have been using speedtest.net alot recently here in the forums. i wouldnt ever use anything but tmn unless tmn is down for a while.

but even on my windows live messenger name i have a message that says to join tmn

u know me people i love stats

look at what alexa thinks

we have been closer to them

but for sure now they are winning on popularity

damn flashy websites

Your ma boy.

lol shug, its kinda funny...but to top it off here is my msn name (i cropped out my contact list and stuff but here it is.) Sorry to digress from the topic

I can no longer test accurately here. It gives me over 15M on the test with only 1200 for my top speed so far. Ever since I got EVDO Rev. A it has been this way. So (snip)speedtest.net, or Speakeasy.net. 

I have no idea why. 

The first link you povided does not even seem to have a speed test but it does seem to advertise for a member who was banned from here. If this is the case, I sure as hell wouldnt do it again.

Apparently everyone is done here so I will state my preference. Testmy.net. If I need a second opinion I use speakeasy. I like speedtests grahics and nothing about dsl reports.
