tbaker397 Posted July 13, 2005 CID Share Posted July 13, 2005 I don't think this would be easy to do but.... CA3LE is there a way you can change the download script so if a test from a verizon.net is run, it checks to see if its above. say 4mbps(dsl highest throughput is 3Mbps and FiOS lowest is 5Mbps) and put it in different categories? So the people with DSL don't look at there 2.9mbps score and say only 83% of average? Something is wrong here. Just an idea Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pitbull481 Posted July 16, 2005 CID Share Posted July 16, 2005 that is very true. lots of isp have different plans. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mactron Posted July 16, 2005 CID Share Posted July 16, 2005 So the people with DSL don't look at there 2.9mbps score and say only 83% of average? Something is wrong here. Just an idea YaY !!! It freaks new folks out when they see that and think they have a problem. I've ask about this in the past and the response was... well luke warm. Some of the other ISP categories may/do have the same problem ? Thanks for looking into it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tbaker397 Posted July 30, 2005 Author CID Share Posted July 30, 2005 so u had this idea on July 13th at 12:09? Just playing, but I was starting to see people ask What is Wrong, only 90% of hosts average with them running 2.9 on a 3 meg connection and I just had to bring it up.

CA3LE Posted July 30, 2005 CID Share Posted July 30, 2005 Yeah, I may go even further with this idea and do it for all ISP's -- sounds like a big task with many variables but I got a little idea in my head of how I can do it pretty easy... we will see in a while if it all works out the way I have it drawn in my head. . . . . it usually works out though. hehe Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
netmasta Posted July 30, 2005 CID Share Posted July 30, 2005 Here is an idea. Someone takes a speed test. Testmy recognizes what ISP they are on. On the results page you show a list of speed tiers from that ISP and ask the user to select which one they have or "unknown". After they select their tier, a page tells them their speed vs. avarage ISP speed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
