said by crazycanuck1:I just re-ran the speed test using »speedtest.comcast.net/
and got a download/upload result of 59 Mbps/10.39Mbps.
The results from the comcast site are consistently better then other test results. Are they biased? can they be believed?
I believe that when a Comcast customer uses the Comcast/Xfinity speedtest site, the servers they can select are all Comcast ones, so the data transfers stay within Comcast's network and don't experience any slowdowns that occur when interconnecting with servers in other ISP networks.
If I select the same Comcast server on the similar »
www.speedtest.net site, I get basically the same result, but if I select a server that is located much closer but which belongs to another ISP, the results I get are usually not as good.
