This Section

It runs, but does not record a download speed!

First, ensure that ZONE ALARM and any other PC browser security products are not blocking the operation of the test. Disable them temporarily and if the test functions correctly then you have found the culprit.

Are you using FIREFOX with a PLUGIN enabled? We are noticing a small percentage of users, all running Firefox, are not able to fully utilize the test. We believe this is because they all have the same Firefox plugin enabled. If you find out WHAT plugin breaks the flash test, please let us know.

Note: We are receiving some reports that the FasterFox addon is inhibiting the flash test. If this is true for you, please contact a site moderator to add your report. Stay tuned.

  • Attempting to run the Flash speed test on Ubuntu 9.10 with Flash plugin 10.0.42.34. Attempts to test against Megapath in San Francisco it loads and shows the dial but no tests are run, not even latency. When I run against LinkLINE to Los Angeles it works. (Note: the Java test also fails against Megapath while it works against speakeasy in Palo Alto.)

  • Running Snow Leopard with Safari's latest release. Absolutely never runs at all on any server.

  • This is not the case for me, I am not running ZA and with my AV client disabled it still does not record download speeds. You ought to fix this!

    2010-08-21 21:51:44

  • No download speeds reported, no AV or firewall software running, Win XP Pro SP3 IE8, what gives?

    2010-09-25 13:38:36

  • At the moment, and for the past few days, the speed test to Speakeasy in NY seems to be broken: initial connection is never made and the test times out. The other tests seem to be perfectly normal.
