nyforever Posted October 17, 2005 CID Share Posted October 17, 2005 www.10thmountaindivision.net/upload/speed.wmv (edited to remove sound, and to compress) There. I recorded what I did to get this score. Reproduced below (if you cant read it on the video above): Score is 54492 Kbps (about 54.5 Mbps) Score is 54943 Kbps (about 54.9 Mbps) Anyone care to explain...?

nyforever Posted October 17, 2005 Author CID Share Posted October 17, 2005 lol why so speechless? I posted these same results long time ago, and everyone told me it was cached. I always deleted the cache before i tested (as you can see) but still got these results. So... the question is... What? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
raptors892004 Posted October 17, 2005 CID Share Posted October 17, 2005 If you do not pay at least $500/month for Internet, then it is definitely cached Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xs1 Posted October 17, 2005 CID Share Posted October 17, 2005 optimum online @ 55/55 ? Sorry, not buying it Somethings obviously wrong, since its taking so long to transfer you thru the tests, somethings getting cached and zipped thru quickly. Dunno man, its nice speeds, but undoubtedly not true. Cable is like 50/30 max on docsis 2 i believe ( correct me if I'm wrong) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tbaker397 Posted October 17, 2005 CID Share Posted October 17, 2005 38/10 I think it is on DOCSIS 2.0 I think. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CA3LE Posted October 17, 2005 CID Share Posted October 17, 2005 I can't play the media file you attached... anyway, almost all false results will be fixed with the new patch I am currently scripting, little behind schedule because I was sick last week... but it should be applied fairly soon --- you will know when it's in place Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
organ_shifter Posted October 17, 2005 CID Share Posted October 17, 2005 I've attached a copy of the video for all to see. Like .s1 stated, something is getting cached during the long pause. That is causing the results to just zip across. Nyforever, if you want to see if those speeds are accurate, download this: [ftp=ftp://ftp1.optonline.net/pub/test64]ftp://ftp1.optonline.net/pub/test64[/ftp] This is the OOL FTP test. Scroll to Step 4 to observe. It's has a very fast ftp transfer with low latency. Allow the file to complete using Windows download manager (no accelerators like DAP, Get Right), and post a screenshot of the results. Don't forget to uncheck the box that closes the results upon completion. It will tell you your average transfer speed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scroto Posted October 17, 2005 CID Share Posted October 17, 2005 I had a similar test score/cache problem once on another isp. Even if i cleared cookies ect it would still test like it was cached. What I ended up having to do was after clearing cache and history, I had to refresh the IE browser on the testmy.net home page and then retest Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nyforever Posted October 17, 2005 Author CID Share Posted October 17, 2005 It goes from 1.12 MB/sec to 1.23 MB/sec that's great i guess... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CA3LE Posted October 17, 2005 CID Share Posted October 17, 2005 Do you have any firewalls or accelerators running.... If so... turn them off or test with flat files http://www.testmy.net/o-000 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nyforever Posted October 17, 2005 Author CID Share Posted October 17, 2005 i think firewall did it. disabled firewall, and got a realistic (compared to the 50 mbps!) response. Thank you. Final Results: Your connection is: 8169 Kbps (about 8.2 Mbps) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xs1 Posted October 17, 2005 CID Share Posted October 17, 2005 Your right at OOL's 10/1 package. Thats more like it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
organ_shifter Posted October 17, 2005 CID Share Posted October 17, 2005 It goes from 1.12 MB/sec to 1.23 MB/sec that's great i guess... I have 8Mbps down, and when I download from fast servers, I get similar results. That's exactly where you should be. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dlewis23 Posted October 18, 2005 CID Share Posted October 18, 2005 why was the clearing of the cache for IE on a different monitor? It makes it look like your clearing the cache on a different computer. Try not doing that next time... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tbaker397 Posted October 18, 2005 CID Share Posted October 18, 2005 I was thinking the same thing..... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

organ_shifter Posted October 18, 2005 CID Share Posted October 18, 2005 its called dual monitors on same pc... ever heard of that? Right. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dlewis23 Posted October 18, 2005 CID Share Posted October 18, 2005 its called dual monitors on same pc... ever heard of that? YES, I have 3 monitors on my computer, it just a little odd that he would put the interent explorer options on a nother monitor. Why not keep it on the same monitor?
