1 edit | Teksavvy's speedtest server results often aren't reliable

Hosted by Teksavvy
During peak hours and weekends, I often don't trust the results anymore from Teksavvy's speedtest server.
I'm only posting this for people who rely on Teksavvy's speedtest results solely (and yes, I realize the speedboost D3 results are high from the other two tests, but at least those are consistent). During offpeak hours, Teksavvy speedtest server results are similar to the ones I posted from St. Catherines and Nexicom. |

kudos:4 | I noticed that a long time ago ... I suspect that the number of users is greater than the capacity of the pipe to the machine, or the machine just doesn't have the oomph! |

I've noticed the same. I get faster results from pretty much every other speedtest server in Ontario. For example just now I got 24Mbps on teksavvy and 32Mbps on beanfield. The ping on teksavvy's is usually the lowest, sometimes as low as 5ms on my wired PC. |

Definitely some "variety" in results... (supposed to be 28/1)

I noticed this months ago, mentioned something about it in another thread, and then Marc made fun of me and said it was impossible.

kudos:14 | Been trying to chase down what's wrong with it since then.. We did make some changes but I'm with you now.. Something is wrong with it.
It's sitting right in the core though... There's no reason for it.

Looks like things are okay right at this very moment, for me anyway. |

| You need to be testing during prime time (midnight EST is not prime time). Try around 9 p.m. EST on a weekday. And try the St. Catharines' speedtest server for comparison. |

| I get better results on Nexicom or Beanfield than I ever have on NRBN.
Midnight typically is primetime, too. Once you hit 2AM things start to drop off. Anyone who's ever suffered node congestion knows this all too well  |

No, I never have problems with the Teksavvy Toronto speedtest server at midnight on a Sunday. And this specific situation has a lot less to do with node congestion than Teksavvy's speedtest server in Toronto being congested.
Try again at 9:15 p.m. EST
If you get bad results from Teksavvy, try the St. Catharines' speedtest server for comparison. |

| Can we please stick to customers in the GTA (it's best to test servers near you) that are subscribed to services faster than 16 Mb/s (to at least stress the server somewhat) down--testing during peak times on Teksavvy's Toronto server? |
