wmertens Posted June 30 CID Share Posted June 30 I'm trying to compare iWay and Init7 in Switzerland, and in the rankings iWay seems to score twice as fast as Init7, but when you go to the individual stats, Init7 way outscores iWay. Ranking: https://testmy.net/country/ch#isps #1 iWay: 1811.4 Mbps 2152 Mbps 316 Mbps 47 clients took 356 tests recently #2 Init7: 624 Mbps 871 Mbps 154 Mbps 67 clients took 183 tests recently Individual stats: iWay: https://testmy.net/hoststats/iway, Averages 326.7 Mbps / 85.3 Mbps | 81 ms, last 1000 download: 195.7, upload: 117.4 Init7: https://testmy.net/hoststats/init7, Averages 621.6 Mbps / 227.8 Mbps | 72 ms, last 1000 download: 1265.3, upload: 146.9 I don't understand how these numbers are related? In any case, I think a histogram would be way more useful for the individual stats, it would show the different kind of connections an ISP has.

Solution CA3LE Posted August 15 Solution CID Share Posted August 15 The stats that show under hoststats are taken over longer periods and have more results considered. The stats that show under the ISP ranking tab are done in the background every 15 minutes and only consider the most recent results. My next major hoststats update will use the same numbers for everything. Using the overall average shown on the current hoststats pages. I think a histogram is an excellent idea, I'll be working on that. With less than 300 results each, it's hard to compare. The dataset on those providers is very small. If you click the "Log" button on the hoststats pages you can see the number of results. iWay looks better... but Init7 has a slightly larger sample.

wmertens Posted August 16 Author CID Share Posted August 16 Ok I see, by using a continuous stream you're signaling something that the ISP may optimize for, and it's not representative of actual use, right? I think it bears explicitly stating this in the explanation. Really loving the beta BTW, it's so great to see the packets come in, and also to see how speed varies during the test. When will it go live? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
