Re: Does speedtest.net post accurate results?
Ooh I like this. Definitely gotta add that to my toolbox, my server host giving me grief with my own UDP test.

Honestly, a UDP test is as far as I'm concerned the only accurate and correct way of doing a speed test, though I've never found a decent automated one before. This is superb. Simply The. Best. Speedtest. Ever.

On another note, VM seem to prioritize UDP traffic (I think) so it's a good measure of how your "last mile" DOCSIS link is performing too.

[Edit]

I cannot stress how amazing this tool is. As long as their capacity remains good, this could well be the best connection speed diagnostic tool in existence.
