With no favourite server I still only see one london server, but I guess its random which one if none set.
Yep, if none preferred set it is random.

Re: Upgrade from 50mb to 100mb

TranceFM IE9:


TranceFM FF4:


---------- Post added at 18:00 ---------- Previous post was at 17:59 ----------

but the difference is only with Namesco :S

---------- Post added at 18:15 ---------- Previous post was at 18:00 ----------

What are the requirements to be a testing host for Speedtest.net?

To be considered for a Speedtest.net testing location you must be able to provide a modern web server capable of running Speedtest.net Mini with at least 100 Mbps of available Internet transit bandwidth. Lower capacities will be considered in some countries, and in others we are now requiring gigabit connectivity.


...interesting, seeing as manchester gives me 30mb and some others less
