pcklutz Posted July 3, 2017 CID Share Posted July 3, 2017 Richard Aldridge in Paradise aka Corpus ChristiTexas. I've used TMN occasionally but never asked a question until now. 1. How do I post a question containing a TMN Results graph that I would like you to comment on? I tried to cut and paste; that just made a mess. Sorry, if there are guidelines on the site, I failed to find them. 2. When an ISP sells service described as “up to xxx Mbps”, does a customer have any reasonable expectation of typical or average speed or just have to accept whatever what is provided (Hobson's choice)? If car has an advertised 25 mpg highway but only gets that when coasting down a steep grade and gets only 5 mpg on the level, that would never be accepted. My internet service is that bad. 3. What information do you like to see in a question, i.e., ISP, purchased speed, modem, computer processor, OS, cable length and type between computer and modem, etc?

Note that at 6:09:25 am, DL speed hit 256.83 Mbps so my equipment is capable of supporting at least that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pgoodwin1 Posted July 3, 2017 CID Share Posted July 3, 2017 Where are you and what TestMy test server did you test to? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pgoodwin1 Posted July 3, 2017 CID Share Posted July 3, 2017 If your test server is 500 miles or less from you, you might call your ISP and ask if there's anything they can do to reduce the huge variation in the download speeds Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
