Before the new server was installed, testmy.net routinely reported my computer's download speed to be roughly 6.7 to 7.0 Mbps. Since the server's installation, my computer's download speeds are frequently reported to be much less than before. However, Speakeasy and Speedtest continue to report speeds above 7 Mbps. So, why is testmy.net frequently reporting speeds much lower than it did before the server change?

I don't trust the test at [this.site.has.been.blocked.for.spamming] because it shows almost twice my advertised speed, but dslreports, which has always been consistent for me, still shows between 4.5 & 5 megs to a busy server over 250 miles from me. The one here at TMN is supposed to be in my back yard. Well, in the same city, anyway. What the hell is going on here?? |

I was under the impression that EV1 was a dial-up ISP in Houston. I never heard ads for anything else while they were in town, anyway.  But thanks for looking into it and making everyone happy again, Ca3le!   |

I am not sure what's going on with the TMN. Sometimes, I get higher speeds but lately, my speed registers like below 500 Kbps. And these results are very inconsistent to some of my speed test sites. I have bench marks for each test sites and they are still pretty consistent. After this new server, the TMN test results are quite not consitent.
And one thing, I got this message just an hour before I got into this section:
Connection Problems
Sorry, SMF was unable to connect to the database. This may be caused by the server being busy. Please try again later.
And sometimes, I get a php error when I run the test. Is the installation to the new server not done yet? Thanks a lot. By the way, this is still a great site though.
