New Ping Tester ?

David · Oct 02, 2009, 22:44:44

Well its easy but how accurate ?

You judge

karvala · Oct 02, 2009, 23:06:13

Seems about right on the whole; my interleaved connection (yes, I'm one of the few who actually need it on!) normally shows a ping around that level. It's nice and pretty, too!

Steve · Oct 02, 2009, 23:10:26

I end up with 100% packet loss

karvala · Oct 02, 2009, 23:13:10

Stop showing off your high security!

Your sig = fail.

somanyholes · Oct 03, 2009, 06:46:28

very pretty. I bet a lot of people end up using this. enjoying my jitter lol

somanyholes · Oct 03, 2009, 06:48:18

who's going to give us a b then? Any aol users or tiscali users care to take part?

Steve · Oct 03, 2009, 07:24:44

What ever I do it gives 100% packet loss,the firewall is off, the router is set to respond.I suppose it could be something to do with using Safari on a Mac

somanyholes · Oct 03, 2009, 07:30:26

what do other browsers do?

Opera on a Mac:

Different Java implementation?

Bill · Oct 03, 2009, 07:33:47

I prefer command line anyway, more information and I can make it do what I want it to!

Steve · Oct 03, 2009, 07:56:04

This using FF on Vista however I still get 100% packet loss unless I disable SIP ALG on the DG834N , still no go with Safari/Mac with this option disabled

Baz · Oct 03, 2009, 08:09:45

its all too techie for me

Glenn · Oct 03, 2009, 08:27:33

Rik · Oct 03, 2009, 08:37:19

I didn't have far to go - but the line is interleaved.

Glenn · Oct 03, 2009, 08:38:31

Just looked out the door, Rik?

Rik · Oct 03, 2009, 08:40:31

Almost.

Bill · Oct 03, 2009, 08:44:33

So is mine... but this more typical of my ping results:

I don't think I'll be adding that tester to my bookmark list

Rik · Oct 03, 2009, 08:46:25

I'd always trust a manual test over a site anyday, Bill, I wonder how successful this site will be.

Steve · Oct 03, 2009, 10:00:03

Whether its particular to my setup I have on Snow leopard to disable SIP ALG on the router and use Opera to get a result without packet loss.

mynnydd · Oct 03, 2009, 11:12:04

Happy again, since the ping has got sorted out.

Anyone worked out what MOS means?

Glenn · Oct 03, 2009, 11:31:03

What is MOS and how do you calculate it?

The Mean Opinion Score (MOS) is an indication of the quality of a voice conversation. The MOS ranges from 1 to 5 with 1 being the worst and 5 being the best. The MOS is usually a subjective test where listeners rate sound quality. Pingtest.net uses an algorithm based on the three test components to estimate the MOS that would be typically obtained by a connection with these results.

Rik · Oct 03, 2009, 11:33:43

Now why didn't I spot that.

Thanks, Glenn.

Ray · Oct 03, 2009, 11:34:24

Thanks, Glenn.

Gary · Oct 03, 2009, 11:48:18

100% packet loss, thats due to firewall, saying no to incoming for JRE from that source. Turned off windows firewall and router blocks it as well. At least my firewalls work

Rik · Oct 03, 2009, 12:05:13

I see you got the jitters too, Gary.

Thanks, I'd completely forgotten about! Removed for now, until I think of something suitably amusing to include.

I wonder if this the same for all Netgears or just the DG834N with SIP ALG enabled, not sure whether this is a security feature or the fact that's its not functioning properly?

Simon · Oct 03, 2009, 13:16:44

I got 100% packet loss, until I disabled, F-Secure, then:

It seems to be an hour slow!

Rik · Oct 03, 2009, 13:18:44

It's running on GMT/UTC...

Glenn · Oct 03, 2009, 13:28:25

It will show the correct time in 3 weeks

Steve · Oct 03, 2009, 13:35:55

If it still exists $:-\$

Rik · Oct 03, 2009, 15:31:18

I don't think it will, the speedtests always show GMT too.

mrapoc · Oct 04, 2009, 13:40:49

Thats not interleaved either

My ping went up when i got my 2700 - i still think something is actively blocking stuff on my 2700

I know but it was over wifi if that makes you have jitters, what ever jitters are

Rik · Oct 04, 2009, 15:14:40

Variation in ping time. Why they could have said so defeats me.

vitriol · Oct 06, 2009, 20:50:59

thats after a router reboot, previously i was at 140ms :/

Myst · Oct 06, 2009, 22:25:29

Not looking that good, particuarly packet loss

edit: just read thats down to my firewall
