Not sure if anyone mentioned this before...or even if this is somewhere on the site that I haven't seen yet...

But I think it would be killer if OS/Browser was fingerprinted...maybe even the IP snapshot and bounced off of Arin to find out the ISP--

then the results made public in some type of graph or something, showing OS breakdown/browser breakdown/ISP etc...

Or possibly even an area for when the test is ran, people can put in specific information about their setup and the hacks they've done to achieve higher speeds. This would be a good knowledge-base for everyone.

dslreports.com does have that i jsut checked. You have to take the speed test, then clock the button on the bottom of the results page to submit your score and then it will show the scores of tests from people that have the same ISP as you.

ack, sorry-I wasn't logged in when I posted this last night, I didn't know (most forums don't allow guest posts).

Well maybe this could just be an option that is turned on/off, so that if people want to participate they can. Then all of the results of the fastest ISP's and stuff will be public and nobody would need to ask what the best ISP is for a particular area.

Same thing with the tweaks. Publically available information for people who opt-in to test and provide the tweaks they did (browser/os etc).

This is the only forum that I allow guest posts... because I want to hear the opinions of all users reguardless of if they are a forum member or not.

But I have been working on what your sugesting.. it is very hard to do because I can't do it through ARIN (unless you guys like to wait for an ARIN query with each test) ~~ but there are IP tables that I can get my hands on that show the IP blocks of ALL ISPS in the world... and are updated, I just need to figure out how to get them for free, and also get updated versions for free..... and them work it all into my site. Not all too easy for one guy to do Wink

--- DSL Reports has many people working on their stuff (I assume)

Could you not give each tester the option to enter there details after the test thus slowly setting up a list of ISP's an there IP pools?

You can use the tool on http://www.mikesel.karoo.net/networktools.html to convert it.

Did I tell you that I am a computer applications programmer?

So maybe I could put something together to generate the list.....

What I really need is the RAW database in .CSV -- I need "IP-Country-ISP" database ~ then I can import it to a mySQL database and query locally - but all I can find is people that want to charge me to get the database...... and I know why, most people that want this information are using it to GEO target users... well not me, I just want to make my database more searchable by ISP and stuff.... grrrr

Help me find this guys!!!
