Has VM pulled their speedtest.net servers?
 

Hi,

On speedtest.net VM us to have servers around the country, however I went to test yestarday and noticed the only one available was in Dublin.

Has VM pulled all their speedtest.net servers?

Yes - there is a thread over here about it

They were useless in my experience anyway, I always got substantially lower results from their servers compared to other providers like structured communications or spitfire, the speeds reported by the latter mentioned were consistent with what I could get with real-world downloads.

Also Speedtest.net (and others) is a test to your device over both your home network and VM, so the speed could actually be fine to your Hub, and then a problem in your home network only.

…. and,if I understand correctly, there is no longer a requirement to use an Ethernet-connected device to get the speed being delivered to the Hub as the SamKnows Realspeed test measures that:

Anyoneknow if the VM/SamKnows Realspeed test be available for customers using a Hub 3 and 200Mb at some point?

Re: Has VM pulled their speedtest.net servers?
 

It has been tested on Hub3 and will be made available. It is also the reason that the Speedtest servers have been removed.

Thank you for the information RobboEdin, hopefully I will get some form of notice when us, errrrrr, less well endowed customers are given access. :)

Ahh the "sells a 1gig service that can't supply 1gig to a single device" has come home to roost. :angel:

Re: Has VM pulled their speedtest.net servers?
 

It's not sold as 1Gig to a single device

Re: Has VM pulled their speedtest.net servers?
 

Do we know if this is only going to be available to hubs in router mode?

Re: Has VM pulled their speedtest.net servers?
 

Yes, Sam Knows needs the Hub to be in router mode as that's what it's part of.

Re: Has VM pulled their speedtest.net servers?
 

Well no point me using the samknows considering I have a mesh network for better WIFI

Re: Has VM pulled their speedtest.net servers?
 

You can still use it to measure the speed to your hub & devices, even if you have your own mesh WiFi providing you aren't in modem mode

Re: Has VM pulled their speedtest.net servers?
 

You can turn off the VM wifi - I use Google Mesh for wifi.
