Charter just sent me a DOCSIS 3.0/IPv6 cable modem and I cannot believe the speed increase! Here's my result on a line rated for 25Mbps...

Yeah, makes me wonder what my sustained DLs will actually be... any ideas on testing this? <-- I've heard that many ISPs now do an initial speed burst for the first 30-60 seconds just to mess with speed tests like speedtest.net.


BTW... heres my ping test

Sorry for the double post but I am answering my own question here... googled "measure sustained download speed" and found www.testmy.net along with a few others.

As I suspected Charter is using an initial speed burst that throws off the results from www.speedtest.net.

Here is my result from www.testmy.net:



I have now tried 4 different web based speed tests... then I DL & installed NetMeter and downloaded a 594.13MB demo game to test. The DL took just under 3 minutes (165 seconds), which equals 3.6MB/s or 28.8 Mbps sustained. So I guess I am getting what I paid for!

Dont believe everything these web based tests tell you... thanks to ISPs cheating with speed bursts, etc!

Internet Speed Test

Is this an average speed test result? Is there a way to get faster times?
