Good accurate and reliable speed test

On the other hand your processor could be struggling during speed tests thus giving you bizarre results.

Meh. Speedtest still broken with fast uploads.

Well Luxembourg is interesting. If you are a saddo who feels the need to pretend your internet is faster than it is it's the place to be.

Considering the processor I have, that's not likely

And it was definitely network side anyway, live tomato graph shows the peak 50meg usage for a few seconds then it dies away while the test is still running.

anyone else having troubles on speedtest.net?

[Pedro1]

I use speedtest.net as it seems to be pretty on the money with what i have.....

No speed test will be 100% accurate tho........

[joglynne]

Nope, no problems using the same London server as you have used.


However using Maidenhead speedtest result looks a tad different.

[thenry]

some of those servers on the site suck. just done another...

[joglynne]

That's why I don't rely on them. If my connection does what I want and isn't behaving out of the ordinary why waste time trying to get the "perfect" speed test reading.

[thenry]

true. I only test because of an ongoing issue or I wouldn't bother.

Try downloading stuff from HERE and check how fast the download speed it.
This should tell you what you are getting.

ie if you are downloading a large one at 4.5mb p/s then you are gettting around 45MB...

This type of calculation works for me....

[qasdfdsaq]

VM Gamefiles has been pretty slow and useless for speedtesting for years now. (also 4.5MB/s is 36mbps)

[thenry]

i can't even hit that. bt wholesale gives me a good reading
