Speed tests in general are very inaccurate. The only true measure is to FTP a file from a reliable server and look at the data transfer rate. Having said that, I find www.testmy.net to be the most accurate, followed by Speakeasy.

Agreed, that's my #1 site pick for a speed test as well. Mine is 6,790 on that site :thumbup:

Did they recommend anything? Raising your RWIN? It does make a difference.

Nope, it just said 100% efficient, no reco's

Okay, I used the www.testmy.net website (vs. www.speakeasy.net/speedtest) and here is my download speed:
:::.. Download Stats ..:::
Download Connection is:: 19733 Kbps about 19.73 Mbps (tested with 12160 kB)
Download Speed is:: 2409 kB/s
Tested From:: http://testmy.net/ (Server 2)
Test Time:: 2006/07/17 - 8:07am
Bottom Line:: 344X faster than 56K 1MB Download in 0.43 sec
Tested from a 12160 kB file and took 5.048 seconds to complete
Download Diagnosis:: Awesome! 20% + : 402.37 % faster than the average for host (adelphia.net) .....

Here is my upload speed:
:::.. Upload Stats ..:::
Upload Connection is:: 1800 Kbps about 1.8 Mbps (tested with 2992 kB)
Upload Speed is:: 220 kB/s
Tested From:: http://testmy.net/ (Server 1)
Test Time:: 2006/07/17 - 8:10am
Bottom Line:: 31X faster than 56K 1MB Upload in 4.65 sec
Tested from a 2992 kB file and took 13.6128 seconds to complete
Upload Diagnosis:: Awesome! 20% + : 239.62 % faster than the average for host (adelphia.net) ....

Hmmm, not sure which one is more realistic, but my internet connection download speed really rocks on the www.mytest.net vs. www.speakeasy.net/speedtest, but the upload speed appears faster on the speakeasy site....

Anyhow, the EXTREME high-speed cable internet appears to be in order for me!!:thumbup:

P.S. I have used the speakeasy test before the upgrade and I was only getting about 3 mbps for download and never higher than 768 kbps for upload.

I don't ever put any creedance in any of the numbers, i just use them as a baseline for comparison testing when I think that my line is congested or having some other issue.

nice Doc.. I'm jealous.

The funny thing, those idiots at Adelphia told me that it would be an "automatic" upgrade for free. They told me that 3 months ago and I didn't noticed any difference. So, I finally called them on it 2 weeks ago and now I'm flying. What I truly appreciate is the increase on upload speed when I send large files/pics, etc......The faster download speed is a bonus as well.:thumbup:

It's like I have a M5 internet speed connection;)

If you don't reboot your modem it can't download the new config file to your modem to provision you at the higher speed tier.

download 4805kbps, upload 359kbps using speakeasy. I'm on Time Warner as well, Kevin. You think they'll end up upgrading all around (as in out by me)?:zoom:
