nanobot Posted December 3, 2011 CID Share Posted December 3, 2011 Odd. Seems like my server gets destroyed by internet speeds when testing to EU or DC. Yet speedtest shows I have a perfectly fine connection. This seems fairly odd. Testmy.net shows me at 12%-22% of the Speedtest speeds for download, and at up to 25% of the speeds for upload. I am kind of curious why this is happening. Also, a side note: When doing an Automatic Speed Test I can select the Amsterdam, Netherlands server, but when doing a standard test I cannot. (https://testmy.net/in...-speed-test.php vs. https://testmy.net/auto) Thanks, EBrown Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(https://testmy.net/in...-speed-test.php vs. https://testmy.net/auto) Thanks, EBrown I'd look into that... the program is just calling it how it sees it. For some reason you're not getting a clean connection to those locations. Funny that you got a better connection to Amsterdam than Washington D.C. I corrected the selection on that page. Thanks.

CA3LE Posted December 3, 2011 Author CID Share Posted December 3, 2011 My connection to Amsterdam is a hit and miss... it's a miss right now. At the same time, from DC to Netherlands We've got congested international routes. Hopefully one day it will be better. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lorne Posted December 4, 2011 CID Share Posted December 4, 2011 CA3LE I see in the first test the host is cox and in the second softlayer. Makes sense to me since SoftLayer has the best routing in the world and Cox can't even come close to competing with it. Or did I miss something?

Yeah, one was tested from the DC server the other was my home connection. But even from DC to Amsterdam there is a major drop. Ocean bottleneck... two words that rarely meet.

Roco Posted December 5, 2011 CID Share Posted December 5, 2011 Can't believe I missed this thread. I will test your server CA3LE, mark my words. I have been beating the hell out of it , spot on for me , truly a great TMN service for us in Europe , just going to post a link on my (member ) uk forum , "DSL.zone", has it's own members only test, but just download ,) and they have no objections to links to other test sites , the infamous "speed test .net" is pants , along side other UK test sites , I can get 50% above my synch rate on some , the only usable one is Numion , again based in the Netherlands, an odd test but good for real world surfing , just saying, no spam intended , and no link from me , google if you wish , .

houkouonchi Posted December 17, 2011 CID Share Posted December 17, 2011 I noticed there is a west server now to. I also noticed when I manually chose the size it always appears to go to the texas server. Is that by design? Is there anyway to do a 200MB test on any of the other servers or what size until it forces you to texas? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mudmanc4 Posted December 29, 2011 CID Share Posted December 29, 2011 Must be internal US networking is globbed up somewhere. Little lag on a 52 hit internal device over there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TriRan Posted December 29, 2011 CID Share Posted December 29, 2011 yeah my ping shoots up to 100 on a hop inside the US so definately congestion somewhere stateside before it hops the pond Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
