Re: Old data and biased source - the CWA who hate telecom mgt
Okay, here's the reason I won't take SpeedMatters' results, and this has been discussed at length in other posts: server overcrowding, such that an accurate speed test cannot be taken. Any connection faster than a few megabits is capped off artificially by the fact that the server can only handle a few hundred megabits of data pouring in at the same time...or 45 in the case of the west coast server.
Also, even if the SpeedMatters results WERE accurate, they were from a year-plus ago. I know my ISP has increased speeds by a third since then, as have a lot of other providers.
Go flame somewhere else. Maybe take a look at an XKCD comic or two. |
