VanBuren Posted June 19, 2004 CID Share Posted June 19, 2004 Its a fuckin joke! hehe i tested my speed against http://www.beelinebandwidthtest.com/ look how accurate my result was hehe Btw i got 10 Mbps fiber = 1250 KB/s maximal I noticed my speed boosted up if i spammed the start test button, i know alot of test work that way you need to clear cache. But when i saw their was a top 40 list i laughed look here http://www.beelinebandwidthtest.com/top/ I like stats but this was just too much hehe Tnx Ca3le for a nice site and a very accurate test, even tho i will never get nice speed across the atlantic VanBuren Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RTB Posted June 19, 2004 CID Share Posted June 19, 2004 You think? It's in holland, so a fair bit away from where you live. I get a steady 280 KB/sec when testing. Which is just under what I normally get. Edit: but the file is only 175k, too small for real results. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

VanBuren Posted June 19, 2004 Author CID Share Posted June 19, 2004 a speedtest should be atleast 1 MB big on low pings and up to 2 MB on higher pings thats what i think. here is a far more accurate test with 1 MB VanBuren Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's in holland' date=' so a fair bit away from where you live.[/quote'] Im not saying i should get maximal speed at this test. Im saying its spread is too big, and like you said the filesize is too low, probl works great for 56k..... But explain this someone......... how could i get a score of 2314KB/s = 18.5 Mbps when im on a 10 Mbps connection........... and i dont live so far away from holland Skickar signaler till www.beelinebandwidthtest.com [213.132.202.10] med 32 byte data: Svar fr Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RTB Posted June 19, 2004 CID Share Posted June 19, 2004 Because the test is flawed. Too small of a file and plain inaccurate. All other speed tests are pointless, because Testmy.net exists Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CA3LE Posted June 20, 2004 CID Share Posted June 20, 2004 Okay.. I am waiting for a DVD to burn... so I am going to write an over elaborite answer to this... I already have the technology built into my test to do that without having to branch off into a completely new server. Heck, I can do an east coast, west coast, German, Korean, Canadian, French, Asian etc. etc. servers if I wanted to. I just need reliable companies or individuals to host the files for me... because I am not going to pay for off shore servers ~~~~ I personally (if I was not in the USA) would rather test off a US server, because lets face it... most of the sites you visit are going to be hosted in the US. I would rather know what speed I'm going to get on those servers than know what speed I would get if I grabbed a file from a server down the street... it is a more realistic number... it does not look as pretty on paper but at least your not lying to yourself ---- But for the people that want to see want to see their line maxed out, to see if they are indeed getting what they are paying for I would be more than happy to add a section for additional servers... but again, I need servers. Anyone that would be willing would be getting exposure to their site in return for the bandwidth taken... you can't pay for that kind of advertising... especially if you figure that the people that are going to be pulling the files from that server are doing so because they either live in that area or close to that area... so they may be interested in that affiliate sites content. If anyone out there has a fast server located in Europe that would like some publicity in exchange for some bandwidth... I will have no problem adding the test to the site, I just need someone to upload a few files to their server... tell me the location and that's it... I will even make the test pages branded with that host sites logo (header and footer. It is though key that the server be fast and on a good backbone ~~ and of course a good idea that the server have and adequate data transfer allowance because hosting bandwidth tests... well take a lot of bandwidth (though I am sure that a Europe server would not need even close to the transfer needed to host my US version) But the ability to easily do this is already built into my exsisting scripts via my custom testing --- http://www.testmy.net/gen.html Please nobody come at my with an offer to host a file on a free host... or a slow server, you will just be wasting my time, only the best for my users I could even go the extra step and make it so that depending upon where the user testing is from I can have the test automatically forward the user to the server closest to them. Though I do get hits from other countries ... it still only accounts for 1-2% of my total traffic -- here are some of the countries besides the USA that visited last month Domains/Countries Pages Hits Bandwidth Canada ca 41314 96333 4.53 GB United Kingdom uk 25977 64928 2.30 GB Australia au 18409 47802 1.33 GB Sweden se 15612 37084 374.65 MB Saudi Arabia sa 12170 15346 930.59 MB Mexico mx 10944 23260 784.17 MB Netherlands nl 5960 16933 398.31 MB Latvia lv 4064 10456 379.53 MB Israel il 3811 9401 338.87 MB Poland pl 3752 11014 297.44 MB Austria at 3728 8626 84.34 MB Brazil br 3689 9098 248.97 MB Italy it 3547 9847 292.94 MB Germany de 3406 8216 244.95 MB Non-Profit Organizations org 3155 6606 192.53 MB USA Military mil 2922 4408 101.02 MB Argentina ar 2699 6507 160.72 MB Romania ro 2554 5952 175.32 MB Philippines ph 2502 8571 283.11 MB Finland fi 2449 6456 146.82 MB USA Government gov 2215 3829 334.67 MB Norway no 1982 4390 73.81 MB France fr 1924 4574 152.44 MB Denmark dk 1710 3785 95.25 MB Belgium be 1510 4934 124.59 MB Singapore sg 1462 4433 130.19 MB Guatemala gt 1336 1918 127.34 MB Hungary hu 1300 3047 144.05 MB Colombia co 1295 3533 116.74 MB Biz domains biz 1256 2022 125.79 MB New Zealand nz 1217 2673 59.01 MB Old style Arpanet arpa 1174 3015 89.51 MB Slovak Republic sk 1108 2818 79.82 MB Japan jp 937 2096 64.55 MB Uruguay uy 928 2529 39.89 MB Honduras hn 873 2192 54.49 MB Lithuania lt 733 1921 35.66 MB Brunei Darussalam bn 731 1319 52.32 MB Chile cl 686 1695 16.96 MB Syria sy 665 1094 38.40 MB New Caledonia (French) nc 596 2878 62.00 MB Portugal pt 549 1378 36.93 MB Estonia ee 502 1240 23.24 MB Malaysia my 501 1322 27.75 MB Switzerland ch 490 1289 41.13 MB Indonesia id 473 912 33.75 MB Trinidad and Tobago tt 406 823 15.45 MB Turkey tr 395 1045 25.75 MB Hong Kong hk 369 985 31.13 MB Cambodia kh 360 441 17.07 MB Dominican Republic do 332 470 25.76 MB Czech Republic cz 311 969 25.15 MB Slovenia si 232 450 19.27 MB Greece gr 225 624 10.39 MB Russian Federation ru 215 630 13.58 MB Tanzania tz 207 342 8.22 MB Nicaragua ni 165 342 3.85 MB Bangladesh bd 142 188 4.78 MB Niue nu 140 324 922.93 KB Cyprus cy 131 289 5.49 MB Thailand th 130 236 17.23 MB India in 116 302 5.86 MB Iceland is 98 171 2.81 MB Tonga to 95 188 4.42 MB Spain es 90 287 2.73 MB Croatia hr 87 177 4.11 MB Peru pe 77 227 6.27 MB San Marino sm 58 120 3.58 MB Bulgaria bg 56 128 2.47 MB Ukraine ua 55 122 1.90 MB Ireland ie 52 312 7.53 MB Yugoslavia yu 52 222 1.48 MB Luxembourg lu 49 125 4.15 MB Venezuela ve 49 130 2.80 MB Unknown wolfstudios 46 87 3.62 MB Pakistan pk 42 117 3.65 MB Taiwan tw 41 107 3.50 MB Qatar qa 40 52 1.71 MB Unknown 33 39 127 1.59 MB Lebanon lb 38 148 1.43 MB Cocos (Keeling) Islands cc 37 97 1.36 MB Egypt eg 37 74 2.24 MB South Africa za 36 119 1.51 MB Bolivia bo 28 81 3.53 MB Bosnia-Herzegovina ba 19 43 819.16 KB Puerto Rico pr 16 39 1.09 MB Unknown 138 15 37 1.12 MB Unknown lan 14 36 734.58 KB Liechtenstein li 12 35 1.58 MB Tuvalu tv 11 33 1.97 MB Info domains info 11 28 614.33 KB Unknown local 11 33 76.75 KB Vietnam vn 10 25 128.04 KB Madagascar mg 9 9 474.77 KB Moldova md 8 26 489.06 KB Malta mt 8 30 495.68 KB Nepal np 7 27 489.74 KB Paraguay py 6 20 99.06 KB Unknown 173 6 26 487.66 KB Christmas Island cx 5 11 625.38 KB Seychelles sc 5 5 64.04 KB Sri Lanka lk 4 18 72.09 KB Jamaica jm 4 19 73.84 KB Belarus by 4 5 56.09 KB Bermuda bm 3 17 64.73 KB Former USSR su 2 16 54.90 KB South Korea kr 1 1 12.52 KB Unknown 172 1 1 20.70 KB Cayman Islands ky 1 10.39 KB Lots of countries... not a lot of traffic in the grand scheme of things Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mudmanc4 Posted October 14, 2011 CID Share Posted October 14, 2011 Thats site hasn't been updated in a very long time. A time when most people were still on dial up it would appear.

mudmanc4 Posted October 16, 2011 CID Share Posted October 16, 2011 Sure it should have been higher , thats if your running on anything much faster then dial up or slow satellite. The small test file size doesn't' allow for the OS tuning components of your network to even get complete readings to adjust before the connections terminated. The faster your connection is , the larger the test file size will have to be to get an accurate reading. I'm certain there's more to it then just that .
