« on: February 16, 2005, 02:56:42 PM »

i did a DL test and it sucked. i chose the largest option from the test..something around 2995kb. then i did the SmarTest and it took me to a test of around 12995kb and i scored off the charts. anyone know why it does this?
p.s. i wish these were home scores its my school i don't know any of their ISP details

i think the 3 MB test forward to 6 MB KB test if you score above 6 Mbps

but if you using SmarTest it dosent run all test sizes, it starts with a 97 KB testfile and depending what you score on that your forward to another testfile, eg if you score 5 Mbps, then your forward to 2992 KB test and if you score above 6 Mbps your forward to 6 MB test.

CABLE has more details about the rate of forwarding.
