http://chi.speakeasy.net/ Try this one!!

 

I Did Ok

 

i thought my dsl was fast, but apparently its slow compared to other ppls service.

 

Woah!........DO I need help here or what??...........

'Allstream'.......472 Graphics......436 Text......


'Speakeasy'.....Download 473......Upload 243........


'Froggy'......Download 485......Upload 146........

Quality of Service 51%??!!.........

And there was me thinking I was up with the Whizzers.....

I'm on ADSL.

Cochise,

 

Yeh, I think I need help too. Here I thought being on cable high speed service was fast. Better than dialup I guess. Could using a really old computer be a factor?

Allstream - 889 and 583

Froggy - 536 and 407

Speakeasy - 1090 and 350

 

Don't know about 'Old Computer' having anything to do with it Greyfox...

Mine is only two years old and your scores are better than mine??!!

I have Packard Bell...Win XP...2gig Pentium 4....40gig HDD and 256 Ram?...



Cochise,

 

some other stuff which can impact speed:

1) proxy use (if you use proxomitron put it on by pass for the test)
2) av scan (up to you if you trust the site)
3) doing the test a 2nd or 3rd time and not clearing your cache (allstream test result can be manipulated if you do not clear your cache)
4) your network congestion
5) Your Browser
6) etc....

try this test to eliminate #3 cache issue if the others will post again:

using a different computer (but same connection), i cleared the cache and got the following results, a bit more accurate so maybe outpost and/or nod32 slowed it down on my main comp? mcafees test shows similar results but for it, i dont need to clear the cache.

 

IMO all tests are rubbish and not reliable.

 

I like that test.

 

Just ran the tests again and got this......

Cochise,

 

And this.....the first Post was Graphics, this one is for Text..

 

And this one is the 'Froggy' one......


Cochise,

 

tried it again today

 

I think I have to string along with Smokey here....these tests don't seem to make any sense........... .............(Or do they?)....


Cochise,

 

Probably the more accurate is frog

 

To bolster what has been said:

from Intel:

Internet connection speed varies depending on your Internet Service Provider, modem type, time of day, browser version, operating system, traffic, and intersecting signals. Results are not a guarantee of true connection speed.

they left out proxy use and impact of AV shields and other protection we use to use the net safely etc...

with that said they have a speed test here which seems to match the download speeds I have seen:

Peakaboos' Intel Test gave me an average of 335.4 over four tests........

Does anyone ever get the full promised 512kbs?....

On 'Intel I get:- 335.4 and on McAfee I get:- 460.8........

By the way, all my Tests have been taken with AV and FW working...no difference whether cached or not and using IE Browser......


Cochise,

All I get on 'Speakeasy' is this:-
