Re: [TWC] TWC NYC (Manhattan) slow speeds during peak hours Yes, the graphs are from CloudWatch. You can get an account there for free as the usage required by my tool will fall within the free tier. |

Thanks, I got it working. Here is my graph from about the last 24 hours. Took a nose dive about 4PM yesterday and came back up about 1AM. Even better today, it tanked at 10AM and has been crap slow all day. |

| Wow, I thought mine was bad. Good luck with that. TWC seems to be very slow to move on these issues... |

I think you are giving too much credit to speedof.me I just I ran a speedtest and I got 2.5 Mbps down and 5.92 Mbps up.
Soon after I ran a test to Dallas and Houston using speedtest.net and speedtest.comcast.net and got what I'm supposed to get 50/5Mbps to be exact 51.7 Mbps down 5.12 Mbps up.
So your script looks very good and cool but IMO the speedtest server you are using is not reliable.
Can you modify your program to use other speedtest servers? |

| I've generally found speedof.me to be consistent with speedtest.net both when the issue is occurring and when it is not.
I chose speedof.me because it is HTML5 based (as opposed to Flash or Java, like most others), making it easy to write that automated tool. |

Yea, I have noticed that even though speedof.me shows it's extremely slow, youtube or other streaming will actually be fast. Can't remember what I was doing eariler, but it showed like 2.5Mbps, and I buffered a video at my full 57. But then like 5 minutes later I went to stream another vid and it was like .5, so seems it's all over the place for me. |
