[Broadband] Insight Speed Test Server

For those of you that have been using the internal Insight speed test site located at »74.128.14.17/ It looks as if they will have a new server up and running on December 1. Here is the message posted on the top of the page:

"This beta speed test server will be shut down by Thursday morning (Nov 30th). A new live speed test server will be put in place on December 1st, accessable via sp1.insightbb.com."

The new speed test server is not up yet, as of 12:06PM EST Nov 30th, but the old one is still up.

Wait a minute. Why do I get 9.68mbps down with Insight's test but at other speed test websites I'm still under 1mbps?

I noticed the same thing. 9Mbps on the insight one, 5 on a test I did here immediately before. Suspect that means Insight is still having some internet connectivity issues.

Maybe because it is directly to it, and not routed through other servers. I even tried to use the -n and -h switches in the command line in the ping and tracert tests respectively. The tracert only did 6 hops.

Here are my results from that server. I am unsure whether the "Average round trip time" is good or not.

Your Download Speed = 9.82Mbps or 1.22MBytes/sec
Your Upload Speed = 961.84Kbps or 120.23KBytes/sec
Average round trip time = 188.43ms

I just tried to use the test via my work connection (QWest T1), but I get this message:

Access Not Allowed!

Sorry, but access to Insight Broadband's speed test servers are restricted to our customers only! If you wish to test your speeds, you can try out one of these other speed test sites:

* Broadband Reports
* Bandwidth Place
* Toast.net
* Google entries for "Speed Test"

I wonder if it's a bandwidth issue that don't don't allow external speed testing?
