Hello,
I have just discovered your site & used both the broadband speed test & Internet speed tests.
I created a desktop shortcut to your page so that I can easily retest in future.
I have a cable connection, used IE7, based in Queensland Australia, OS=XP Pro+SP3.
Some questions if I may:
1) Broadband test Dwnld spd @ approx 530 kbps.
Int spd test Dwnld spd @ approx 420 kbps.
Tried each twice & variation between type of test is significant but why?
2) Can you please indicate the size of the test packet, where it was located, & any other (important) node info.
3) It would be great if I could save all the relevent details in a simple log file – at the push of a button so to speak. That way I could play with tweaks, & best times, to check for improvments etc. Is this sort of development on the horizon?
4) Does the type of info transmitted effect speed?
Sorry about the list of newcomer type questions, hope you get time for quick answer & thanks for the chance to run the test which were great BTW.
Rgds, Peter O

I just tried the on-line broadband speed test for the first time, and the results seem to be the opposite of what other tests have shown me, i.e,
Download speed: 495 kbps and Upload speed: 2406 kbps.
I did it three times with similar results.
Anyone else found this?
Hello Peter,
Sorry for the delay in responding – I do my best with the time given to me…
The Java based internet speed test is by far the most accurate and highest quality speed test I have.
There is an issue with Flash in reporting results that can appear from time to time – I’ve been trying to figure this out and will eventually get to it, so this may be what you are seeing.
I’ll add your requests to my to do list / improvements – thanks for suggesting them!
Andralen:
This is the first I have heard of reveresed results. Can you explain more about this? What test exactly (url)?
Best regards,
Jim.
