Internet speed test

http://miranda.ctd.anl.gov:7123/


This is a very nice one. I'm waiting for something at school, was browsing the net, and found it. This is what I get at school. What do you get?

TCP/Web100 Network Diagnostic Tool v5.2.1e
click START to begin
Checking for Middleboxes . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . Done
running 10s outbound test (client to server) . . . . . 7.74Mb/s
running 10s inbound test (server to client) . . . . . . 30.89Mb/s
The slowest link in the end-to-end path is a 100 Mbps Full duplex Fast Ethernet subnet

click START to re-test



------ Web100 Detailed Analysis ------
100 Mbps FastEthernet link found.
Link set to Full Duplex mode
No network congestion discovered.
Good network cable(s) found
Normal duplex operation found.

Web100 reports the Round trip time = 16.88 msec; the Packet size = 1380 Bytes; and
No packet loss - but packets arrived out-of-order 0.20% of the time
This connection is receiver limited 97.66% of the time.
Increasing the current receive buffer (63.0 KB) will improve performance
This connection is network limited 2.17% of the time.

I'm on the 600 service, what should I be getting for the 'outbound' test? If these values are low, what could be causing this?

it was a slight dig at the test site jerrek supplied, it thinks my 56k modem is a 100mbit ethernet connection with obviously impossible upload speeds for my connection, so i think it is wrong

too many http's in the link by the way

Re: Internet speed test

The upload on that site is fine, but the download isn't. I ran it several times, looking at DUMeter, and while my upload was maxing out, the speed was limiting out at around 70k/s for the download. I know it isn't me because i've downloaded things to check. Best thing is to check it in the morning here when the server will be less busy.
