Here the PREFERRED server for testing is chigago at speakeasy.
Maybe you should be using that test site then instead of the one you keep posting over and over again. |

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. |

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 
This site gives a comprehensive report on your connection.

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!! |
