Bryn Mawr, PA | The Interactive Map I found the Interactive Map particularly useful, especially the ability to click on a state and sort the Speed results into alphabetic order. Unfortunately you are not able to sort the provider list names numerically, perhaps next release?

| Be sure you understand what this tests 1) It tests latecy between your PC and the given sites, if you are not close to them you cannot do well on this test.
2) It tests your DNS lookup speed, the latency to the DNS servers you use will affect this test. I use to 'speed up' users internet by finding closer DNS servers, for the web, the effect is real.
3)It tests the graphics speed of your browser on your PC, different browser, newer video driver, faster CPU all change results.
4) The capacity of you connection, what most of you think of as 'speed', but isn't. (a 747 is not faster than a 737, it just moves more people, a 8 meg cable connection is not faster than a 4 meg cable connection, it just move more data) | |
