I got a question for the admin, does testmy.net use the same protocols as the other speed test sites? It is possable for my ISP to lower the priority of something like FTP?
I know that some ISP's , or I should say I have heard , some ISP's don't allow the standard ftp port "21" which is outdated, (they don't want you running a server) and very insecure, Spome also block port "80" , but then again, with the right server, you can change the incoming port, and tell the client where it's at, so just use a different port, I use sftp, which runs through port "22" . But then again, the way networks stay compatible with sftp anymore, you would use PASV mode, in which the ports range from "1024-65535" on the server side to answer the client back.
TWC blocks port 80, so what, just tell the client wherever you ported the thing to :haha: :haha:
