• Slow internet issues with lots of uncorrectables

  Hello! Ever since moving into a new house, I've haven't been getting the speeds I've expecting. Specifically, videos and websites will fail to load or load extremely slowly most of the time. The odd thing is, when running a speed test (tested using both testmy.net and speedtest.net on Firefox with my laptop wired via ethernet), I'll get 5 mbs down on the first test, 100 mbs on the second test, then back down to 15...

• Show HN: Internet Speed Test

  Another speed test site is https://testmy.net The site claims superior accuracy (which I can't confirm but probably someone here can evaluate one way or the other). The site offers a number of test options and other amenities. I'll have to try these other sites to see how they compare. - Source: Hacker News / 6 months ago

• Nothing but issues, so here's my review in "old man yells at cloud" style

  T-Mobile - 5G WI-FI decently priced... If it only worked! Below I'll post my results from a few hours of a test I did today using Testmy.net. This is an every day occurrence. You could be watching a YouTube video at a nice 1080p60, but then it'll switch to buffering for about 5-15 minutes on average. Or you can watch it on 144p or 240p "with some buffering". The longest downtime was for about 45 minutes to date. Source: 10 months ago

• CelcomDigi Fibre Broadbrand

  Go to testmy.net and test it, what are the scores there? Source: 10 months ago

• Why does the SL speedtest differ soooo much from Ookla test results? Which should I trust?

  I prefer using TestMy Which one is better? Your guess is as good as mine.... Source: 10 months ago

• NBN Telstra to Superloop

  Superloop: straight away I was hit with high latency, speed consistency issues. Using testmy.net I'm constantly hitting spikes of 3000ms. Source: 10 months ago

• Outage

  You're more than likely eating tons of packet loss. You can test easily at https://packetlosstest.com/. As others have said try https://testmy.net/ for speed tests. You'll get a much clearer picture of actual speeds. ISP often prioritize speedtest.net and other ones as well to bloat the numbers. Source: 10 months ago

  I like to use "testmy.net" to test speed btw. Source: 10 months ago

• NEED HELP. PLDT contractor installed the wrong modem when he installed my service making me unable to get past 100 Mbps despite my plan being 600 Mbps (+200Mbps Speedboost). Only found out last month with the help of their Tech support.

  It is HG8145V5. If that's the case, then why would the Tech support rep come to that conclusion? Di ko rin pala namention na I went to my friend's house and tested the same modem, 400 Mbps din plan niya and it also got the same speedtest result (testmy.net, speedtest by ookla etc.). The tech mentioned something about the modem not being compatible for fiber (or it's for fiber but my line wasnt, vice versa, I cant... Source: 11 months ago

• Highly Variable Download Speed

  My neighbor and I have been experiencing highly variable download speeds. I ran a test with testmy.net yesterday using my desktop connected by ethernet to my modem. It goes from about 250 mbps to near 0. I ran another test this morning and it was the same. Any thoughts on what might be the issue? Source: 11 months ago

• Why is my downloads speed so low

  Also: try an internet speed test on the Switch (connection test under system settings), I doubt you are actually getting 25 mbps. Use a reliable speed test like https://testmy.net/ to see how fast your Internet really is, other speed tests use multi threaded downloads and get priority traffic on ISPs to give you an inflated network speed result.

• Naya net halum vaneko kun net thik hola? Aalik cheap and strong. Sathi le wifi nepal vandai thyoo kasto xa yo net?

  I have Dishhome Fibernet and two things I love the most about it are affordability and reliable internet speed. I bought 100 Mbps internet at Rs. 800 / month and the speeds at any time on fast.com is 120 Mbps+. It is similar on speedtest.net. On testmy.net which uses internet servers like from Singapore or Florida, it is less but wayy better than other ISPs. It is normally 90 - 95 Mbps there. On ISPs like... Source: 12 months ago

• For $15/month, is this good?

  These tests aren't accurate... Try this site, they actually download random bites and test the speed this way. Source: about 1 year ago

• Connection Speed Slower than supposed to be

  I am having issues ever since obtaining spectrum. I pay for the "up to 300MBps" speed plan. My download speed can barely scratch 1MBps according to testmy.net and doing a google speed test. I have the standard modem and router that they provided and have only seen my speeds go above 2 a handful of times. I have witnessed it go above 30MBps but only 1 time in the past.

• Dropped Xfinity and got TMHI, its slower than Xfinity but More Reliable I am happy and it can handle the load

  Use testmy.net to see the speed its more consistant and fast.com makes your speed looks bad :). Source: about 1 year ago

• Optimum is throttling my upload speed!

  One device connected to the router/modem. Tbh is a nice speed is showing but at the time to stream to twitch thats when everything goes wrong also try to testmy.net since is one the best speed test that I have try. Source: about 1 year ago

• Fibre Broadband speeds reversed on laptop

  I have a Dell 5530 supplied by my work, built by our desktop guys (I'm in network/server support). At home, I've had 900MB FTTP installed, and after some issues with the speeds anyway, I've now discovered that running any speedtest (testmy.net, speedtest.net, fast.com, etc) on the 5530 shows the speeds reversed, i.e. I'm getting 100MB download and 800MB+ upload, and it's only on the laptop, all other devices show...

• people without bundles or promos, whats your internet cost monthly?

  Please use something that actually uploads and downloads packets like Testmy.net. ISP-recommended speed tests (like those provided by Ookla) are notoriously unreliable and inaccurate. Source: about 1 year ago

• Fast internet but slow download speed.

  Tested my download speed at fast.com and testmy.net, both show me that my download speed is 200-300 Mbps, but when I try downloading any file in my PC's browser (Edge) or from my phone's browser (Chrome) it goes down to 100Kbps or less, and when I try downloading something from an app store like Microsoft Store or Play Store I can download a 100MB app in less than a minute. How can I solve this? Are the browsers... Source: about 1 year ago

• How to bypass ISP throttling?

  Whenever I consume 20gb per day, my ISP throttles the speed down to 1mbps, except on social media apps (tiktok, playstore, facebook, etc...) is there any method to trick the ISP into thinking the data is coming from those apps instead of lets say steam, youtube? I tried using a VPN, it doesn't work. Oookla speedtest and fast.com shows the full speed, while testmy.net shows 1mbps (120kb/s) which is the true speed. Source: about 1 year ago
