CoffeeFiend Posted July 11, 2008 Share Posted July 11, 2008 I'm looking for the most accurate bandwidth test and also wanted to share my results from various websites.The speeds will vary a LOT depending on where the server is located, routing in general, network congestion, etc. There's just too many factors that come in play IMO.I've never seen one of those that was worth anything (for the locations where I tried at least). Like the last time I tried when I visited my dad, the max I'd get from any of them test places was 70KB/sec (basic cable plan -- more than enough for email), yet I'd have no problems at all pulling 100KB/sec anytime downloading files from various places. They're often 50%+ off from what I experienced. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
