Speed Tester.

Inactive · May 27, 2008, 10:55:27

A new ( to me ) speed test that seems to give fair results can be found at;

http://myspeed.visualware.com/servers/lhr.html

It is designed for VOIP but is fine to use for general speed tests.

If you click on the resulting speed test page at the bottom text, you can copy and paste the results.

Limited number of uses per session, not sure how many or for how long.

Can't post mine because I ran out of hits, it was around the 6931 down, and 378 up mark.

Will post again when it allows.

Very interesting... I'm a bit put off on speedtesters in general. They seem to be a mixed bag. About the only time I use one is when I think things are sluggish and I need to verify my impression or use it to rule out part of an equation. My favourite for some time was Dan Elwell's test, http://www.broadbandspeedtest.net/ but I don't think it has been updated in ages. Pity. The diagnostic reports were really useful in posting to forums or helpdesks to help diagnose problems. I'd love to see it picked up again.

Mine are consistent, give or take.

No serious deviation.

While on the subject of Speed-tests, and thinking of the ~~imminent~~

arrival of ADSL2, I thought some of you may like to try this speedtester.

No responsibility taken for results.

Confirms what I thought - no advantage to me whatsoever.

Sebby · May 27, 2008, 19:31:08

I got 3.77Mb on a 4Mb profile, so it seems quite good, but these third-party speed tests can be affected by routing, etc, so may not always paint a true picture.

( Sorry Rik )..

The irony is that I live in a major conurbation with relatively new infrastructure.

Inactive · May 28, 2008, 11:10:54

I know, it is uncanny, but I also have in part at least, aluminium cable.

Rik · May 28, 2008, 11:19:16

But not 5km of the stuff.
