testmy net has speed 440 kbs but speedtest shows  1.4 Mbs why ? 

 

I have done repeat tests over several minutes.

speediest.net  -  consistently shows my  speed as  1.4 Mbps [ i am paying  for   2 Mbps ] as it   connects to the local server here,  Cebu City Philippines.

 

BUT  when I do the test with  testmy.net  it shows very varying speeds and the result is  440 kbps.

 

What is going on here ? Could it be that testmy.net is connecting to distant  servers which have   less speed ?

 

Any advice please..

Speedtest overstates your performance. Go to TestMy.net Home page and read the tab " What Makes TMN Different?"
