agentiki Posted October 18, 2019 CID Share Posted October 18, 2019 If I set min download size to 100MB I get slower results.. if I set no minimums I get faster results.. I am trying to show that at my Fathers house he has issues with his connections.. My question is if I am setting a minimum download size am I somehow tainting the result to be unfairly stacked in my favor or is this a good way to show that he is not getting speeds he pays for?

CA3LE Posted October 19, 2019 CID Share Posted October 19, 2019 By limiting to only 100 MB in your case your getting a lower speed because your connection is taking a long time to build up. TestMy.net Test ID : nNvoumYgN TestMy.net Test ID : Kcx-bIyPH The speed in the second graph, where you selected auto size, starts out faster because during the first initial loads of the test (as it determines the right size) is warming up the connection. So by the time the final test starts, which is what your actual result is calculated from, you've already probably downloaded over 100MB. So then that result is higher... because the connection has warmed up past where the real issue is. (your issue is in how your speed starts... looks like that connection finishes really strong) This is why I'll always have the option to select your own size manually, I think it's a super important option for troubleshooting. To my knowledge TMN is the only internet speed test that offers manual test size options. Wayne Swenson 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wayne Swenson Posted October 20, 2019 CID Share Posted October 20, 2019 How do I select download speed? Samsung S8 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sean Posted October 20, 2019 CID Share Posted October 20, 2019 I assume you mean the download block size. On the homepage, scroll down to "Download Speed Test" and touch "Test My Download Speed". Then touch the "Manual Test Size": CA3LE 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
