said by kommander:what is a better speed test site, and why isn't speedtest.net a good one? The key is to try at least two (or even three) sites that are usually not overrun with tests if you suspect an issue with your line. I don't think any single speed test is 100% valid 365-24/7.
I've seen some issues with my line not being fully there lately during busy hours as well but it's always above 5mbps.
speedtest.charter.com
speakeasy.net/speedtest
Basically you want to test on-network if you can and that will likely yield more consistent results than off-network site testing even if the Charter site is far away, for example. |

Riverside, CA | speedtests are lame.. go connect to a ftp from a fast server and upload and download large files. Then you will see the actual speed your getting. Also try several known good servers and see what your results are.

davor, speakeasy.net/speedtest is the same as speedtest.net, just different hosting. as both use the ookla net metrics. |
