Great speed test that also has a 7 day personal average tool.

Your have to keep the cookie from the site to have the record of pass test.

Post your Share URL and go there each day and we can see who has the best speeds and overall Average.

I have comcast and look how I have 1/3 the speed I am paying for. Not the 3MB down like they say.

Post your speed your ISP says you should have but what you really have.

Well it would be best to have this thread to show the test all come from the http://www.testmy.net/ site Deke.

To many places have there own way of testing and the speeds can be lower at one and higher at another and even very low and very high at the same site. I have run test at so many site and I like to use site that like this one here because it is giving me about the same speed as many of the other sites. Where DSL reports, Cnet I think are so high.

The Bench - See how well TestMy.net did when compared to other speed testing sites. http://www.testmy.net/bench_results.html

I would go by what he says here on " Speed Test results - Listed in order of accuracy" because of all of my own speed test at many sites over many months. I would put them in the same order also.

They advertise a speed of 1.5 Mbps, so I guess they weren't far off based on the test results the second time I took it.

Thanks
No your good on the 2nd test. Your doing better then I am where I should have 3 Mbps. Was 1.5 Mbps and it doubled a couple months back and my speed was the same and then it started getting slower and slower. Have called many times and had the techs here many time but nothing has been fixed. The last tech that was here did say the loop I am on has 250 people and it is over loaded and it should not have more then 200 people on the loop. Yea like I had told them for months they are over loaded but was told no. So now they tell me they are but I am still waiting to get things fixed.

Hewee - I tried the test but it returned no results. I clicked on Dowload Test, then another page came up and I went down to the bottom where it had a box with a computer ID number and clicked on Search and got the no result message. Did I do something wrong? Thanks - not quite sure how it is supposed to work
