Me Posted November 16, 2007 CID Share Posted November 16, 2007 I recently had some RR speed issues and during troubleshooting I was told to run tests on testmy. For the last few days I have been running tests on testmy as well as speedtest.net and speedtest.twrochester.com. I am seeing significant download result differences between testmy and the other two test sites, for example 6.12 on testmy versus 9.75 and 9.80 on the other two. Can someone give me an idea as to why the difference exists? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FallowEarth Posted November 16, 2007 CID Share Posted November 16, 2007 Welcome! It's likely due to the path from you to the servers. Try testing against a mirror closer to you: http://www.testmy.net/o-mirrorBAF http://www.testmy.net/o-mirror-Diablo321 http://www.testmy.net/o-mirror-TimPawlak2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CamM Posted December 20, 2009 CID Share Posted December 20, 2009 I am new. When I test from the default server for the testmy.net site I get values less than from some other sites (say 8 to 10). The default size was 6.1 Mb file. Don't know how I managed two images. Any thoughts? I just want to do this correctly. Having issues with Comcast and I want to monitor them more. ] But if I choose another mirror, I get unrealistic results say in 40 to 50 mbs. The mirror site does not provide the link to create the image. The mirror sites I pick the "Large" 7 Mb sample file. Mirror-lofl for the first one below :::..

coknuck Posted December 20, 2009 CID Share Posted December 20, 2009 The mirrors are not working right now and giving fictitious speeds! Test using the Dual Test for more accuracy. They are here. http://www.testmy.net/speedtest/d_load.php Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CamM Posted December 20, 2009 CID Share Posted December 20, 2009 Thanks for the update. I had been running the dual test until I started looking at the mirrors where I only saw the download test as an option. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
