Re: Atlantic Broaband MegaMax 16mb service

I don't think ABBs speedtest is accurate. It has been showing that my speed is >14mbs/1.6mbs.

But every other speedtest ran will show 5mbs. The rate at which I download files also tells me that ABB is much slower than the ATTs DSL 6mb service I have.

ABB speedtest runs on a server in their datacenter, so you're seeing what they're offering to you at your modem. ABB's uplink to the internet either can't keep up, or the speedtest site was slow when you were testing.

Definitely NOT a speedtest site issue.
