I used to love speedtest.net, but since finding testmy.net which keeps a log of your previous tests, I haven't gone back.
I typically receive the correct up/down ratio, though intermittent issues may lower it for a day or less. Though various ISPs over the years. It would be nice to have a consistent as-advertised speed though if you happen to live in an area where that isn't happening.
- Freestyler_3 9y agoI just tried, gave me 240/40 as result. (speedtest.net gives me 510/460 Looking at their servers... okay not so many. But shouldnt the speeds be more correct, and only the ping higher for further away places?
- cosmie 9y agoFurther away places also mean increased chance of hopping through intermediate networks which could introduce their own bottlenecks.
- kalleboo 9y agoSpeedtest.net also logs your previous tests, but you have to create an account/login to preserve them across cookie expiries http://beta.speedtest.net/results http://beta.speedtest.net/results
- koyote 9y agoEh, I guess this is US only? I am getting 40/30 here in London whereas speedtest.net gives me 900/900. That is a massive difference.
- plopz 9y agoAt some point certain ISPs were disabling throttling specifically for speedtest.net which is why netflix made fast.com. Perhaps thats whats happening with testmy.net?
- SeanDav 9y agotestmy.net seems to be mainly USA based, but for those outside the US, you can set the default server to one located much nearer your own location. They offer a few international servers and London, UK is one of them, plus alternatives in EU, Asia and Australia
