Moderators mta Posted May 19, 2014 Moderators Share Posted May 19, 2014 I was looking at a Win8 app to show my download/upload speeds and stumbled on what I think is a better site than speedtest.net It's called speedof.me and seems more accurate and very simple. Only gripe is I wish the Start Test... button was more prominent. Backup now & backup often.It's your digital life - protect it with a backup.Three things are certain; Birth, Death and loss of data.

Hav0c Posted May 19, 2014 Share Posted May 19, 2014 Hope they stand by this line It is the smartest and most accurate online bandwidth test. Ran the test more then 5 times getting random results even with no downloads active but this was about right: Download Speed: 670 kbps Upload Speed: 430 kbps Every line of code written by man can be undone by man .

Moderators mta Posted May 20, 2014 Author Moderators Share Posted May 20, 2014 Download Speed: 2.75 Mbps Upload Speed: 920 kbps which is about standard for my area. I like how it keeps trying the download test until it gets one that lasts for more than 8secs, then halves that to use as it's upload test. Hopefully that means you can compare apples with apples despite your broadband type of connection. I am saddened by my woeful speeds compared to others listed above - damn you all !

Tasgandy Posted May 20, 2014 Share Posted May 20, 2014 Hey mta I'm not much better down here in the Grampians: download: 4.5mbps upload: 1.5mbps Still I suppose it's reasonable considering it's peak time (usually busy between 4.00pm & 8.00pm) and I'm only using Telstra 3G mobile broadband. Think I'll try again around 11.00pm to midnight. Always With Kind RegardsTasgandy"one is never too old to listen & learn" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Winapp2.ini Posted May 20, 2014 Share Posted May 20, 2014 I had a 100mbps line in my dorm room a few years ago at RIT, some rooms had gigabit lines (serviced with symetrical gigabit speeds) That's the life, in so far as internet speeds go. Cablevision (my provider at home) is actually pretty decent, thankfully neither comcast nor TWC operate at all to my knowledge on Long Island winapp2.ini additions thread winapp2.ini github Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nikki605 Posted May 23, 2014 Share Posted May 23, 2014 Download: 30.3Mbps Upload: 17.99Mbps Paying for 25/25 service, but typical that actual upload speed is lower outside the ISP's network.

Moderators Andavari Posted May 24, 2014 Moderators Share Posted May 24, 2014 Download: 30.3Mbps Upload: 17.99Mbps Paying for 25/25 service, but typical that actual upload speed is lower outside the ISP's network. I'm paying for 20/5 service, it's literally costing me about $3 more than the slower connection speed I previously had. However since 5 mbps upload rate isn't available in my area yet it's limited to 0.895 mbps. Most people on my ISP don't have a 20 mbps download rate for my area, they had to come to the house and install fiber optic lines before I could upgrade.

Kas Posted May 28, 2014 Share Posted May 28, 2014 Tested out very visually attractive and looks good., My upload speed is deplorable, but of no real interest. It is the download speed that is important to me.
