cdf216 Posted December 26, 2005 CID Share Posted December 26, 2005 Best.. that's a matter of opinion. I will say it's the only besides the NDT servers that can consistantly handle connections of over 10 Mbps. My 15/2 connection Overloads most speed testing sites so bad I could make a list of their maximum capacities.

Blunted 2 Posted December 26, 2005 CID Share Posted December 26, 2005 all speakeasy sites can also handle it with ease since i see fios always hitting cap on it with the 30 mb plan and i also hit 27000 on there Quote Link to comment https://testmy.net/ipb/topic/9987-are-the-speed-test-on-here-accurate-or-not/#findComment-104005 Share on other sites More sharing options...
cdf216 Posted December 26, 2005 CID Share Posted December 26, 2005 yes speakeasy is good. however I've noticed that the closer the site to you the better the speed and it can vary as much as 5000-10000 kbps on distant sites. For example I'm in Florida and testing from Atlanta I get 14000-14500 kbps where from the seattle server I only get around 6000.

Blunted Posted December 26, 2005 CID Share Posted December 26, 2005 i get the same speeds to every site they host so its your provider that is slower. i also have 3 isps that do the same Quote Link to comment https://testmy.net/ipb/topic/9987-are-the-speed-test-on-here-accurate-or-not/#findComment-104014 Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't have to go throughit to use the GA server but do for the west coast ones.
