Please dont just put testmy.net, I really want to know. Is there another one you like better and why do you like that one better. Be brutally honest. User feedback is the most important thing a site can have and we have great members. Ok seriously let us have it. All I ask is if you say you prefer another just post specifically why. I like their site layout better, test is more accurate, lower ping times, better mods/admins. Tell us how to improve.

for me over here in the UK , I use http://www.dslzoneuk.net/   a good site for UK ADSL knowledge , and a good graph that is easy to read , but no up load test ,  Evil or Very Mad
or I use    http://www.numion.com/ for a real life surfing speed test (Holland )
but for me #1 is TMN ,

So what I gather from your post you like the graph and you test there due to the fact it has a server closer to you. Did I miss anything? Thanks for the feedback.  Very Happy

Yep Shugs that is about it   http://www.dslzoneuk.net/ is only 100 miles from me , TMN is near on 3,500 miles , but I only loose about 5% to TMN. and the upload test is great ,

give http://www.numion.com/  a try (Holland)  a try very unusual test site , no need to be a member on their  , I would be interested in seeing the result from the USA, numion had a forum now defunct  ,
and was my first forum membership ,

Shug:  I like testmy.net the best, but I can no longer test
here since around the 1st week in Feb.  I could test for
about a week while being shown google ads, then the
google ads disappeared and so did my ability to test.  I
have made several posts about this in general discussion,
help forum and the make it better forum.  I also sent a
message to CA8LE and he replied with a question and I
referred him to all my posts and I have had no reply from
him in several weeks.  If you would read my posts about
this problem and assist me I would appreciate it.  I have
tried testing every way I can think of with no luck.

I now use PC Pitstop and [this.site.has.been.blocked.for.spamming], but their results
are wildly different.

I just sent you a PM, check your inbox and we'll get to the bottom of your problem.  The problem is isolated though because you're the only having problems.

 I have tried many test sites, and I don't really care for tor the  " pretty " graphical thing that seems to be associated w/ most of them.

TMN has been the most consistant , and I feel the most accurate. Although I do like the information the NDT servers give.

I perfer [this.site.has.been.blocked.for.spamming] and testmy.net as close 2nd. Depending where you live, here are my reasons:

1. Location of the servers to test from
2. How far away they are
3. What equipment they run (if it's known) and how many other servers you hit before theirs
4. If its public or members only (traffic on it matters)

speedtest is in it's infancy, but I get a second test from testmy.net to concur with it.

Thanks chenko. So is it mainly the layout and graphics you like?
