Hyperspace Posted September 7, 2005 CID Share Posted September 7, 2005 Why does the Speakeasy test almost always give me higher download speed results then TestMy?

VanBuren Posted September 7, 2005 CID Share Posted September 7, 2005 like you said, it might be the distance but also serverload, server TCP settings will affect your speed also how large testfiles that the test using i score around 3 Mbps up and down on that Speakeasy test and around 26 Mbps down and 1.6 Mbps up against Testmy.net, even tho my route is better to Speakeasy test server. Before testmy.net server was tweaked, i scored around 3.7 Mbps down so server tweaks does help alot VanBuren Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cholla Posted September 8, 2005 CID Share Posted September 8, 2005 The speak easy test used to be java based & testmy wasn't java based.Since speakeasy changed their graphics it doesn't run the java logo before the test.Does anyone know if it is still java based?
