johnstonf Posted January 4, 2023 CID Share Posted January 4, 2023 Is there a way to get an alert (email/sms) when my dl/ul falls below a certain threshhold?... for example 5 consecutive d/l below 8Mb/s or 5 consecutive u/l below 300Kb/s, once per every 2 hours? That would be so handy! CA3LE 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CA3LE Posted January 4, 2023 CID Share Posted January 4, 2023 Definitely. If you click on "My Settings" then click "advanced" you'll navigate to https://testmy.net/mysettings. Toggle the Email Results setting (then a new drop down menu appears) change this to the % that you'd like click "Save My Settings" Then you'll be notified if your speed drops below the threshold you've set. I like the idea of making the emails a digest that would be queued for sending on the user defined schedule. e.g. every 2 hours. I also like the idea of only triggering on X consecutive events. When I'm ready to add more options there I'll keep those ideas in mind. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
johnstonf Posted January 4, 2023 Author CID Share Posted January 4, 2023 Great!... Not sure if you've considered a Pro/Paid version, where you could also do notifications via SMS... etc... (another cool option, and Twilio makes it fairly easy) CA3LE 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not sure if you've considered a Pro/Paid version, where you could also do notifications via SMS... etc... (another cool option, and Twilio makes it fairly easy) I have considered a pro version. Sometimes options are only available to registered members. When I release new tools usually registered members see them first. So being a member is kinda like a pro version already. Especially during times when I turn off ads for members. I have some new tools I'm working on that will only be for registered members. I've also been thinking of ways to give you the option to remove ads... while still driving necessary revenue to run a site like this. One idea I really like is a call back to the early days of TMN where people suggested that we have "TMN Bucks". You could buy them or earn them. You've been earning TMN bucks with all the great posts you've been making. You may earn some in the future simply by sharing TestMy.net. I plan to prorate my old members to some degree. When it comes to availability of tools, if I have something, I always want to share it. So it would be very difficult for me to hold something back, only for those who paid. I want to make sure people, especially kids learning this stuff always have easy access, at the same level as someone who decided it's more convenient to pay. Those who earn it will be a major asset to TestMy.net. Those who pay will be too. We need both types. Ideas in development. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I remember way back purchasing "TMN Bucks" (or something like that...) was that you?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Was a suggestion people were making back in the early 2000's. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
