buzzardel Posted August 15, 2005 CID Share Posted August 15, 2005 Hi, I am new here . I have a small problem regarding this subject . I took the speed test at MondoSpeed [sPAM] using IE, Firefox and Opera . With the same data size, the results don't match : IE : DownLoad Speed : 9001 Kbps UpLoad Speed : 2233 Kbps Firefox : DownLoad Speed : 5512 Kbps UpLoad Speed : 1439 Kbps Opera : DownLoad Speed : 2148 Kbps UpLoad Speed : 870 Kbps What can be wrong ?

FiosFiend Posted August 15, 2005 CID Share Posted August 15, 2005 I also tried that Mondo server and it said that my upload was faster then my download and I'm on 15/2 Fios. 860Kbps down and 1200Kbps up. I would conclude that my original statment stands. This is a CRAP bandwidth test.

FiosFiend Posted August 23, 2005 CID Share Posted August 23, 2005 the only accurate way to test is to set up two computerswith the same hardware with seperate connections and run them at the same time Oh please. I think I can fairly accurately figure out what my connection speed is by simply running a test server that I know to be close to my location (least amount of hops) and that has proven to be accurate among many users.
