Not liking to flame with another member, i would like to know if there is anything I could do to true up my speeds and thereby avoid further conflicts. So how do you slow down bursting, not just in test where you just test differently. I would just like to readjust what ever is going on and get true speeds again so I can post with out problems. Would also like to be able to test and know that I am getting what I am getting.

Try a speed test here.
http://performance.toast.net/
Test withe Shuttle + Text 755 k
the 3rd one down.

I test with testmy.net and also toast.net

ok so now I am puzzled,

Avg. Results:   1771 Kb
Onspeed:   2128 Kb
Comcast:   2299 Kb
Co:   2562 Kb
Ntli:   3413 Kb
   
If that is 850 Kbps then why does it test this way in here? I just want to stop lying if that is what I am doing, without doing it on purpose?
Before all the weirdness I was getting consistent 1030,s. Now how do I change it in here?

DirecWay test:March 3rd, 01:32AM - 791/34 Kbps

It is not like I am doing anything personally. Would just like to be able to justify my speeds. As to what they actually are like everybody else.

In firefox, so now i have a shi_ty connection according to somebody. Well I am confused even more. And my page loading is much slower also, so this does not proove much either. violent5

DirecWay test again in firefox:March 3rd, 04:27AM - 635/66 Kbps
Fileburst only gave me an 88.1kB/sec
Can't say as I like Firefox, or that it likes my comp. Would say a good test but everything slowed way down.

tommie gorman ...might sound stupid but clear your cache out .  The tests here are a new test and it can tend to do strange things sometimes when your computer thinks it knows what it's doing instead of actually executing the code that's comming. Anyway give it a try. Sorry I don't use FF.....but I know other folks with a 6000 that do and their not having trouble. ;)

So I would say it is safe to assume that my speed issue would be resolved, that my speeds are ok to post as correct, if no one can figure out anything is actually wrong with this setup by the end of the weekend, then I can claim everything worked that I did! And there will no more speed burst issues? As long as i test with a large file! Correct?

No not at all. My comp has been getting unreasonable speeds lately, and I was trying to resolve the issue. I feel sort of left out that I appear to not be at all justified in posting my scores as everybody else. Everytime I do even in large file tests, i get someone (not naming) telling me I am speed bursting. Although I have done nothing to cheat. My scores are a little unusually high, and mostly I just want to post on the forum as anyone else. So I started this post to see if anyone could resolve this so I can come out and play also.

That's not correct, but I probably won't pay attention to your speeds anyway. So it doesn't matter.

When one person gets way over the majority's average, and they're on the same plan, logic will tell you that it's not accurate.

I don't want to be correct at all. Lets make this simple, I really just want to change it so we all play on the same playing field with the same rules. I really don't want to be special. You are the only one that makes it appear this way. If there is any solution you could come up with, which is what this thread is about i would appreciate it. Have been singled out in this way? I hope not. Now that all that is said, do you have any help for my setup so I might test it and change it.
Can you help get a majority average again?

By way the others are starting to get better speeds also. Luckily not like mine though.

I don't know how you got above, so I don't think I can.

You could try removing all your tweaks. Then test some things, see if it loads slower. And take a test (make sure you do it a few times, right after each other). Test at different times of the day, also.

I always get the most accurate tests when I test the 2992 kb test a few times in Firefox.

Since they've redone the site, I can actually test with Firefox and get a good speed. A lot of times in the morning it will be around 1.5 Mbps the first time, then it will drop down.

Remember the first night that Testmy made the changes? Everyone was getting like 1.5 Mbps or higher.

As far tweaks go there are none. Just what is listed above.^^
If you mean remove TCP Optimizer and redo, that would be no prob. Just not wanting to do total recovery, unless necessary. Didn't think Optimizer was actually a tweak.
