jelwell Posted March 5, 2008 CID Share Posted March 5, 2008 Before the new server was installed, testmy.net routinely reported my computer's download speed to be roughly 6.7 to 7.0 Mbps. Since the server's installation, my computer's download speeds are frequently reported to be much less than before. However, Speakeasy and Speedtest continue to report speeds above 7 Mbps. So, why is testmy.net frequently reporting speeds much lower than it did before the server change? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't trust the test at speedtest.net because it shows almost twice my advertised speed, but dslreports, which has always been consistent for me, still shows between 4.5 & 5 megs to a busy server over 250 miles from me. The one here at TMN is supposed to be in my back yard. Well, in the same city, anyway. What the hell is going on here?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

philp Posted March 13, 2008 CID Share Posted March 13, 2008 I was under the impression that EV1 was a dial-up ISP in Houston. I never heard ads for anything else while they were in town, anyway.

jdbendijo Posted March 24, 2008 CID Share Posted March 24, 2008 I am not sure what's going on with the TMN. Sometimes, I get higher speeds but lately, my speed registers like below 500 Kbps. And these results are very inconsistent to some of my speed test sites. I have bench marks for each test sites and they are still pretty consistent. After this new server, the TMN test results are quite not consitent. And one thing, I got this message just an hour before I got into this section: Connection Problems Sorry, SMF was unable to connect to the database. This may be caused by the server being busy. Please try again later. And sometimes, I get a php error when I run the test. Is the installation to the new server not done yet? Thanks a lot. By the way, this is still a great site though.

mudmanc4 Posted March 24, 2008 CID Share Posted March 24, 2008 There is yet another server in the process of being activated, read up on this at the link below. http://www.testmy.net/t-22807 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tdawnaz Posted March 25, 2008 CID Share Posted March 25, 2008 Is the installation to the new server not done yet? Thanks a lot. By the way, this is still a great site though. when the new server is online u will see a message in the header on the home page that will say some thing like "if you can see this message you are on the new server" or something to that effect...
