spypet Posted April 17, 2013 CID Share Posted April 17, 2013 for about a week now i'm seeing higher than usual speed testing here. i'm on standard tier 15/1 docsis2 modem based service this past year i would see 19.7/1.0 tops while testing here weekly. but for the past week i'm intermittently testing at 22, 25, and even had one test over 30 (i deleted it thinking it was a fluke, but the result link was https://testmy.net/tkw2dZ0.MsWy4dF.png ), and often doing 40/2 megabyte tests - this should not be possible giving my service and modem. oddly i still get the same 32/1 inflated results from speedtest.nyc.rr.com i always got only 4 hops away from me, so i know my service was not speed bumped higher by my ISP. also when I torrent (public IP - not thru a VPN) well seeded files like ubuntu, my actual download speed is never any faster than 2.4 MB/s. what has changed here in the past week or two regarding your Washington DC test server https://testmy.net/db/X7r3wsB]https://testmy.net/quickstats/spypet if you share what IP i can ping to at your DC test server, I can post a trace route between us.

CA3LE Posted April 17, 2013 CID Share Posted April 17, 2013 That's just it spypet... nothing changed. Maybe a connection along your route was upgraded. Your result wasn't cached, that's highly unlikely here. There are multiple cache resistance features to TestMy.net. I can't pull my full speed through well seeded torrents all the time either. With a 21.4MB test size, powerboost or whatever Roadrunner calls it could be a factor. Try testing with 100MB, see what a larger size yields. I see some 40MB tests you did and if you notice the speed lowered... I bet it will go down a couple more Mbps if you do 100MB. ... I think your route improved. Be happy!

Robert Andersson Posted August 4, 2013 CID Share Posted August 4, 2013 I also suspect some caching is involved in my speed tests on testmy.net, could you explain what the "cache resistance features" you have? BR Robert Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BR Robert First, what's your connection speed supposed to be? iceb 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Robert Andersson Posted August 5, 2013 CID Share Posted August 5, 2013 CA3LE: Thanks for reply.
