mayhemstudios Posted March 19, 2004 CID Share Posted March 19, 2004 Hello everyone. I am new here. Is the test here really acurate? It seems faster here then on DSLreports. I can't get any faster then 2860 on DSLreports. And it also seems to yield a constant faster speed if I run the SmartTest then if I ran the 1496 Kb test. When I try to post my speeds and when I click on the link it says it is FAKE. Am I doing something wrong? Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Swimmer Posted March 19, 2004 CID Share Posted March 19, 2004 Welcome!!! You are receiving a fake on the link because most likely you are behind a firewall. I think that if you are on a proxy server you will also receive a Fake link also. CA3LE, the site admin, will be able to expain more. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CA3LE Posted March 19, 2004 CID Share Posted March 19, 2004 Swimmer nailed it on the head... Welcome, and the reason that you get a better score here is because my server is less congested... and it on an awesome backbone. DSL Reports does have a good test, they just have a lot of traffic and can't keep up with it... But when this site gets like that I will be opening multiple servers so there is no worries - Damon Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mayhemstudios Posted March 19, 2004 Author CID Share Posted March 19, 2004 ThaNks guys I am behind a router. Would using the 1496 Kb test be more acurate then the SmarTest? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lorne Posted March 20, 2004 CID Share Posted March 20, 2004 I am pretty sure the smart test is the most accurate. I beleive it determines which size download is best for your speed and tests you with that. CA3LE will know forsure Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CA3LE Posted March 20, 2004 CID Share Posted March 20, 2004 Well the 1496 test is the most accurate for any connection... the smart test is more of a bandwidth and time saver... it figures at what point it would be worth it to sacrifice test time for test accuracy. ~~ I have it pretty fine tuned and haven't had even one complaint since it's inception.... but go ahead and test strait with the largest... that will offer the most accurate results PERIOD...

mayhemstudios Posted March 20, 2004 Author CID Share Posted March 20, 2004 Cool thanks When I use the Smartest, I get 3400 but when I use the 1496 Kb test, I get a litle more then 2800. That sounds about right. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
