TheHalf Posted October 3, 2007 CID Share Posted October 3, 2007 Actually when I was having problems with my download speeds with Adelphia, a rep there asked me to go to testmy.net to test my speeds and as they say, 'The rest is history'.

mudmanc4 Posted October 20, 2007 CID Share Posted October 20, 2007 Thought I'de post the real way I was suckered in I have a few friends that work for my ISP , when I was having issues, they suggested I visit TMN, So I did, it took me nearly a year of reading all the topics and learning the personalities to join. Sure glad I did, because I had to use the recorded tests for proof the ISP was not upholding there end of the deal. Not only that, I have made several good friends here. Thanks TMN.

Blako Posted October 20, 2007 CID Share Posted October 20, 2007 I think I was google-ing "free accurate internet speed test". Since then TMN has been my geek squad I can advise from my experience and get more advice in return.

jakrinda Posted October 21, 2007 CID Share Posted October 21, 2007 I found TMN in May of 2005. I was then living in Aubrey, TX and I needed a test server that was close in proximity to where I lived for testing my speeds. The server I had been using for the eight and a half years prior was on the West Coast where I used to live and the time to get there was very slow from Texas. The same with East Coast servers. Now that I am back in Southern California I use my old test server because there are five of them here in California, two of them being less that 150 miles from me. My scores are way too low using Texas servers now as you will see below. Ja'Krinda I have 9000/768 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JH2688 Posted October 21, 2007 CID Share Posted October 21, 2007 I found TMN about a year ago when i first got a dsl connection and i was looking to check my speed's because i thought it was downloading slow. I found out that i was running at normal speeds for my location. I've learned a lot from TMN since then. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not necessarily what the reality is? Just curious............... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jakrinda Posted October 21, 2007 CID Share Posted October 21, 2007 Not at all! It is just a well known fact that the closer you are to a server the less congestion there is. And a default copy of Windows will probably not achieve your purchased speed with a distant speed test server, especially if you have a fast connection! I have tweaked my TCP/IP stack to maximize my speeds but anything east of the "Rockies" deteriorates in speed. And I chalk this up to my connection because any tests done to a server in the Western portion of the US gives me respectable speeds. Why should I continue to test on a server that gives me lower speeds than what I purchased? I do test here but I take into consideration the distance.

Your speeds are faster than mine, at least they are here. Ja'Krinda Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ja'Krinda How do you do overall though, because sometimes I get really good speeds, say like from Microsoft , or something like that , where they have a good throughput. I'm in Ohio BTW, so I think I'm a bit farther from the server. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
