Re: Speed Test? I know Paxio is good, I've raved about it on more than one occasion on these very forums. I wish it were more widely available to others. My original comment was regarding those with boost and the inflated numbers reported from speed tests that take less than 30 seconds to come up with a score. In my post I offered a solution that anyone could try for free, that provided a more accurate test using real files.
Again, I believe Paxio is great, not simply good. I believe Cablevision and Comcast are good, too. It's just that with the cable company speed test results, those are inflated due to the boost included, and those speeds will drop after a short time. For me, with Comcast, the boost will only last for the first 20MB down and the first 10MB up. Typically this is more than enough to handle the short duration of any browser-based speed test most people use. |
