Speedtest without Flash, using HTML5

re-tested after some tweaking. Now it is much closer to what I have.

Doesn't work in Pale Moone at all. Clicking on begin test does nothing.
 
What is the point of the settings, when the site don't save anything u click on and u can't even change host :banghead:
 
Worked for me, and it further confirms I have to take my ISP by the horns on why I'm getting a 23ms ping and barely 5Mbps download whereas I'm paying for 15Mbps...

Several years ago i had a 30 Mb down / 1 Mb up connection but i got consistently around 6-7 Mb so i complained to them and they sent a tech over. The tech found indeed low speeds and he even tried connecting from the building cable directly instead of just my home's cable, with the same result thus showing the prob was NOT my system.

Result: since the problem "wasn't on their end" they could do nothing and instead charged me 70 € for the tech visit ...

Since then, i gave them the finger and switched ISPs. They kept coming back for quite a while to try and make me their client and often called for the same purpose but, whenever i hear their ISP's name, i close the door in their faces and the same for the phone calls. Must be love ...

Are you sure your Internet contract states "15 Mbps" or "up to 15 Mbps"?

Usually, it is the latter, and the actual speed you get depends on how far away you are from the DSLAM. For instance, I'm paying for 20 Mbps, but I only get between 4 and 5 because I'm 3.5 km away from the DSLAM.
 
Well won't allow via mobile lol it I have the app (not bad for a phone)

Pretty much everything these days is "Up to". I think someone previously mentioned that in order to fulfil their "up to" obligation, they only need to provide those speeds twice a month. Don't remember which carrier they were talking about.

As ISP tech support myself, I'd definitely recommend letting them know as they may not be aware of issues, but I wouldn't be surprised if they give you some kind of "overcapacity in your area" speech (or some other kind of "there's nothing we can do" thing). If you're too far away from the equipment, they're not supposed to sell you speeds faster than what the conditions of the link can handle (a Verizon DSL technician told me he was able to obtain a 3Mbps connection with his equipment, but their sales department told us our area wasn't provisioned for anything more than 1Mbps).

If I had to guess, the slow speeds are likely caused by the backhaul feeding their DSLAM being maxed out. If that's the case, they really should increase capacity to that DSLAM.
 
Connected via wifi to an Xfinity HotSpot at home since I'm awaiting Google's Fiber Network to come online and/or finding someone other than Comcast to get a decent ISP (not sure if I'll actually be able to get Google Fiber at the house)

Was the SNR margin adequate (i.e. not huge like 12 dB)? I've had my ISP give me a 12 dB margin at times.
