mudmanc4 Posted February 4, 2016 CID Share Posted February 4, 2016 You might want to head over to https://testmy.net/mirror and pick the California servers. You've been testing to Dallas, which is fine, but from what you are explaining, it's obvious the tests you were taking at the other place, are not telling the complete story.

dluds10 Posted February 5, 2016 Author CID Share Posted February 5, 2016 Hi mudmanc4, I tried both the San Jose and San Francisco servers and my download went up to 15Mbps, which is almost double the old score but still nowhere near what I'm paying for, or what the xfinity speedtest or ookla say I am getting. edit: What is rather confusing is that the upload rate does not change from the ookla tests more than 1Mbps, (comparing San Francisco testmy server to San Francisco ookla server) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dluds10 Posted February 5, 2016 Author CID Share Posted February 5, 2016 it seems that I am receiving either ~120Mbps or 15-20Mbps depending on what server I ping. What provider does testmy use? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TriRan Posted April 12, 2016 CID Share Posted April 12, 2016 TestMy.net's servers are on a network that has direct peering with some of the biggest names in the Internet backbone. With multi-homed connectivity and bandwidth from over 25 independent Tier 1 carriers including Comcast, Cox, Time Warner, Charter, Qwest, Google, Level 3, Internap, NTT America, Equinix & Telefónica to name a few. The network has a total capacity of over 2000 Gbps and our servers have multiple gigabit uplinks into that network. TestMy is always overstocked with bandwidth and can meet the needs of even the most demanding connections. Our servers are also configured and tested to maintain full quality of service for thousands of miles. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mudmanc4 Posted April 14, 2016 CID Share Posted April 14, 2016 @dluds10 Is it possible to stop using the USB wifi and get a direct cable connection to the modem? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
