Talking Pingz
Hi everyone!
A quick question to you to mull over!
If i do a speed test using speedtest.net using Opera 9 browser i get



but if i do the same test using Firefox 3 or Seamonkey i get..



The ping using opera is way higher! and upstream is lower any ideas why?
IE 7 and Safari give the same results as Firefox so it has to be an opera thing!

Re: Pingz
Frankly I wouldn't trust a ping measured by a flash plugin.

I have no evidence for this, its just a prejudice I have.
