wintroub Posted June 26, 2023 CID Share Posted June 26, 2023 The last couple of days, my download speeds have been 30-50% below normal. Uploads speed have been normal. Over the same time span, https://www.speedtest.net speeds have been normal. Terry Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CA3LE Posted June 26, 2023 CID Share Posted June 26, 2023 I'm running normally to Dallas myself. TestMy.net Test ID : xJEqAvBKE Switch your mirror to Florida or New York to compare. Might just be something with your routing to Dallas right now. If it's persistent I wouldn't ignore it. Variables are the same on my end, if you normally get higher speeds and they've dropped all of a sudden it's usually an indication of something. The fact that speedtest.net or other speed tests don't pick up on this doesn't dismiss anything. It's extremely common for other speed tests to report different than TMN. They don't calculate the results as transparently as I do and you really don't know what they're doing to arrive at their number. My new version, result shown above, gives you ways to adjust the result perception. Example, you can delay the start of the calculation or calculate based on percentile. These options are off by default but show you how the result can easy be altered without necessarily lying. Did the speed happen, yes... does it help you by only knowing the best parts of the result? I don't think so. So I always calculate based on everything that happened. Here's a test moments later with 50th percentile and graph delay enabled. Keep in mind, that's just 50th percentile, other tests could crank it up to 95th percentile or something for all we know. Below: Same test, same servers, same variables... except I'm ignoring a lot of important information. This isn't how I test but I put the option in there to help illustrate how perception can be altered easily. And if my connection were running poorly right now the difference would be even more pronounced.

Then test again. - If it's persistent I'll try another browser (Firefox, Chrome, Brave). - If it's slower only in your preferred browser (Firefox) and not the secondary then I'd clear cache & cookies or Refresh Firefox Click the Firefox menu button , click Help and select More Troubleshooting Information. Then click "Refresh Firefox" Please let me know if any of this helps. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xs1 Posted June 28, 2023 CID Share Posted June 28, 2023 (edited) seems ok? May be a possible routing issue for some. (paused uploads) Edited June 28, 2023 by xs1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wintroub Posted June 28, 2023 Author CID Share Posted June 28, 2023 I followed your advice to reboot modem, router, computer. Speeds now back to normal in Firefox, my default. Also normal in Chrome and Edge, which I had not tested before. Thank you. Terry 6/26/23 xs1 and CA3LE 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
