hupp3l Posted August 28, 2005 CID Share Posted August 28, 2005 Well im asking this because of a couple of things. I have a 15/2 fios connection but I run it through a wireless router. I am used to getting speed scores of about 12/2 However I have downloaded some files just using the internet and it will show my speeds at about 14mb/s what is up with that? What is also weird is that when I use the test my upload is going at 1mb/s but when I upload using a torrent I get my full 2mb/s even 2.2mb/s Im not complaining, just everytime I test here my balls shrink and I start testing for faults. Any Ideas? One last Question, what is better, the Dlink wireless G router or the LinksysWRTG wireless router? Thanx guys.

RTB Posted August 28, 2005 CID Share Posted August 28, 2005 CA3LE is working on them every day to make them more accurate, even for you FIOS (ab)users. Often, the tests are more accurate than the speed results by browsers, as they start downloading once you click the link, but don't update the download speed until you picked a place to save, which adds a huge and non-existant burst. P2P programs are even worse, just plain wrong in most cases, and that includes BitTorrent. I use StatBar with current down and up speeds directly from the network card. That should be a better comparison to testmy.net's results if your connection is stable. AFAIK those two routers are great by themselves, but I'd prefer the Linksys personally if I ever go wireless.
