gerry5 1 Report post · CID: 65328833978 · Posted May 28, 2014 I'm looking for explanation of middle variance and how to understand the middle variance results from my speed test. For example, is it better have a high or low percentage reported? What exactly is middle variance describing? 1 CA3LE reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
CA3LE 977 Report post · CID: 1597994407405 · Posted May 29, 2014 Welcome gerry5, Middle variance is how much the speed varied in percentage. Only the middle of the TiP is considered. So from 10% to 90% of the progress percentage of the test... the high and low readings in that range are used to determine middle variance. You want a low number, means less flucutation. BUT sometimes clients that have bottlenecks are present can have almost no variance... so sometimes under 5% can be a clue to something else. Mouse over some of the words throughout the site and tooltips will popup explaining things. Just a heads up, many people may not notice that. Happy Testing! 1 j7n reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

gjrexach 0 Report post · CID: 17162107966546 · Posted June 27, 2015 Just stumbled onto this site and and am very pleased with what TestMy.Net does. I have taken the results to my Internet provider, and it has really helped my in gathering evidence of my Speed as well as fluctuation. Nevertheless, I have a question regarding the cycle. If the the service is disconnected, the autotest stops workin, so it has to be restarted again. Is there a way of having the cycle based on the PC time(clocktime) and not on the web up-time?
