Re: New DSLReports speedtester
The upstream test always timed out for me on my VM circuit.
EDIT: Download showed my 154 meg. |
Re: New DSLReports speedtester
Seemed limited to 100Mb on my download but upload worked OK

Re: New DSLReports speedtester
That's a really nice test! I really like that one, much better than Speedtest.net. My only complaint is they don't have a nice simple image to share, best you get is this:

Seems OK. Not sure what the "Your link: Idle/Full" meter is supposed to mean, keeps flipping between 0, 4, and 100. |

It's in beta so I fully imagine it's buggy right now. |
Re: New DSLReports speedtester
http://www.dslreports.com/speedtest/341298 - I'm sure speed-testers love me skewing their results.
That was Plusnet FTTC balanced with VM 152. |

Very good metric to display IMO, I wish more speedtest sites and diagnostics would use it - it's a very basic tool yet very important tool that most consumer sites seem to miss completely. It's practically the first check I do to determine if a link is saturated or not. |
Re: New DSLReports speedtester
The log is also very good, and I note it uses a few different servers depending on the number of streams in use.

Re: New DSLReports speedtester
Looks like the upload test isn't working anymore for me :(
https://www.cableforum.co.uk/images/local/2015/04/3.png Also it seems to use 32 streams on the download nomatter what, but the upload varies between 1 on my home connection and 24 on the above connection which oddly failed. ---------- Post added at 19:51 ---------- Previous post was at 19:45 ---------- Eh, looks like it was just Chrome on that machine, it works using IE: https://www.cableforum.co.uk/images/local/2015/04/4.png Interestingly, the bufferbloat measurement doesn't show up in IE but does in Chrome, but either way I'm impressed it works seemingly without flash, java, or any other junk. The ping measurement is also way off in IE. Currently a complete lack of UK locations though sadly. Looks like they use a combination of servers from Google, Amazon AWS, and NFOservers.com |
Re: New DSLReports speedtester
I think the download/upload streams are determined by which you pick - cable is 24/8.
|
Re: New DSLReports speedtester
Must be more to it than that, I picked "fibre" on every machine and it used 1 upstream on one machine and 24 upstreams on another.
|
Re: New DSLReports speedtester
I think it does a quick test with a small amount of data and from there decides on a number of streams.
