Re: Just Glad They increased speed by 50%

Honestly , if someone would know what that would be I would.

We did these test simultanously , pulling the network cable from his and then putting it into mine and doing speedtests.

Here the PREFERRED server for testing is chigago at speakeasy.

But i've did all port tests with shaw support and still the speedtests are bad while showing no open ports.

Maybe you should be using that test site then instead of the one you keep posting over and over again.

Shhhh. Don't tell him that. I've got a side bet with a few members that he'll post his speeds at least 100 times by the end of the month.

Seriously though, some sites are just not reliable for speed testing. How close they are doesn't necessarily mean anything. I get amazing speeds on the U.S. west coast, but not so good in central Canada which is closer.

Bottom line - are you noticing that you are having trouble downloading, or viewing sites? It doesn't matter what some speedtest tells you - it's just one site, and a snapshot in time. Download a file or two and see how that goes.

Here's my test for comparison. Same city as anonymous user, "haw"

I realize that Shaw's boost effect is creating the wildly unrealistic download speed. Any test site that allows a longer test shows the speed that I should get; about 7.5 Mbps.
The Iron Mountain site is around 200 miles away and is the suggested site for Sault Ste. Marie

Well they say all is fixed here , I have never seen more than 4 meg from Iron Mountain or 15 meg from chicago even with Speedboost since. I have never seen speedboost kickin.

The east end sounds great that would be better than WARP here, 66meg!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! If they upgraded me to Warp I still wouldnt get that!!
