yeah, your bandwidth all goes to Chicago then back to Toronto.. any speed test in Canada will be slower for you as a result.

kudos:15 | right. we're probably the only ones you'll stay within canada because of limelight. odd bounce from ott to montreal then toronto.
something must be limiting it on the server itself. I'll have Gabe check it out tomorrow.

If the poster is on most networks in Canada, they will stay in Canada when coming to us as well (including Bell Canada). This is something we are constantly working on improving.... |

Re: Switched to Start from cogeco; Speedtest puzzle
Still only 2 options! |
said by rocca:Think it's time for us to apply and get one too then!
Rocca... IF you were serious about setting up your own Speedtest.net site(s), partly for accurate testing for your users, and partly for its advertising value, can you be sure your site will even show up as an option to the masses who hover over the Toronto Triangle?
Look at what I see now. My "Preferred Server" is now set to Radiant (which is active, and works fine, btw). I cannot even choose Nexicomm right now.
It looks like people would have to set their "Preferred Server" to the new Start test, to hopefully ensure it is even offered as a visible option.
Now, if you base one test in London, which is your DSL hub, I assume there would be no problem, as it would be the only one in the London Triangle, for now.
This is in FF17, under Windows XP/Home SP3. I'm on low-speed DSL with Start.
Are the other servers being actively excluded from my choices in real-time, for some reason?
Might Geo-location based on my IP be affecting things here? If I go to iplocation.net, two of the three services list my location as London, ON. One says Georgetown, ON. The speedtest.net test appears to be placing me in Georgetown, in their little map animation when the test is running. |
