jmk Posted June 15, 2014 CID Share Posted June 15, 2014 I have done a lot of testing here on testmy.net and I am getting about half the speed or less that I am supposed to get. What is the standard that the cable company uses, is it a flash like speedtest.net? I know when I call support at Cox cable they will run some tests and tell me everything is fine on their end so what is the best way to go about this? deskspud 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mudmanc4 Posted June 16, 2014 CID Share Posted June 16, 2014 I believe ISP's generally only test and define usability within their own network. So you'll get routed directly along side of the pipe your connected to. Entirely useless for testing real world usability. Flash IMO is a total waste of time in the current configuration means of testing. I ask myself, when do I use flash to browse or download, not very often , at all. Uploaders sometimes use flash for multiple files, there are legit reasons, none the less not for testing throughput. Run a few ping tests to google.com and testmy.net , also you could use a trace route to find the weak link. If you choose post the results here excluding your public IP. 50% of paid bandwidth is unacceptable lets find the issue. deskspud 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xmx2048 Posted June 25, 2014 CID Share Posted June 25, 2014 Where are you located? I have the same issue and I am trying to troubleshoot this myself. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
