Why does the new beta speed teste only show downlo...

As the title says i went to use the old one which gives you a lot more data but had an error so went to do it again but you can't do 2 in an hour so thought i'd try the beta but only download speeds! no upload,what you should be getting, ping etc! seems very basic.

Hi
Perhaps it's because it's a BT improvement?
Michael.
Will put on Hard Hat and wait for the flack!
PS - OR person scheduled for tomorrow morning to cure the line fault!

Slow Speed Tests

Hay everyone I have an AirPort extreeme located in my front room about 15 feet from my bedroom. In the bedroom I have an iMac 27" mid-2011 model. I have been running speed tests from speedtest.net and have been getting very slow download rates, any where betwee 1.4 and 5.0 mbps. I pay for a 25 mbps speed. I have full signal strength everywhere in the house the speed is just terrible. Does anyone know how I can increses the speed of that computer. I have changed the channel to one that is not used as much in my area, as I looked at iStumbler. Also if I sit in the room next to the router I get 10 - 15 mbps. Any help would be amazing. Thanks.
PS I also have an AirPort express set to extend the network in the bedroom where I am having the slow speed.

I'm not able to provide a solution though I too find that the AE is not as fast as it is supposed to be. At one time I had a Belkin Wireless and an ADSL connection that topped out at 1.5MB/sec. Now I have a 50MB/sec internet connection and honestly, I have seen an increase in my speed over wireless but the Belkin really seemed quite zippy! I play World of Warcraft and I remember someone saying to me that AE or our Macs have Firewalls set-up that we don't know about or "something" that limits the speeds of the connections - which PCs and non-Apple products do not. Constantly see when downloading new patches from WOW, messages that I am behind a firewall - when I do not have firewall set on the AE nor on my Mac...

Only getting 20Mb, but BT beta speed check says 35...

I've had infinity installed for around a week now.
The trouble is, I only ever seem to get 20Mb. I've run numerous speed tests on other sites, and all say almost exactly 20Mb. Uncanningly exactly 20Mb, infact. My profile is 38Mb, so no trouble there.
I've called BT and they pointed me to the BT beta speed tester, and that showed 35Mb. They decided that the line was therefore ok. This BT beta speed tester would appear to lie though, because I've tried http downloads, which maxed out at 20Mb, and numerous other speed tests, which all max out at exactly 20Mb.
Also, the other BT speed tester that tells you the profile you are on also only ever maxes out at 20Mb.
I mentioned all of the above to BT on the phone but they were adamant that because the BT beta speed tester said 35Mb, everything was ok.
I have confirmed this plugged directly into the modem, so it's not a homehub issue at all.
Can anybody offer any insight as to what may be going on?!
Many thanks.

Be greatful I was told I'd get 22mb, I get 11. BT have told me there's nothing they can do so I'll have to live with it. Shocking service

Internet speed test app for Asha 311

Is there any internet speed test app for Asha 311? I tried the speed test from http://bsnlspeedtest.in but the result was very high. I have Airtel 3G and it always shows 3.5G.
Solved!
Go to Solution.

If you want to check the max speed of your phone internet there are two methods.
1.
Check the speed in kbps while downloading any file using UC browser. Get UC browser from Nokia store or via www.ucweb.com
2.
Connect your phone as a modem to your pc and use any pc web browser and check the speed at http://speedtest.net or any other sites.
Hope this helps.

Internet Speed Test

I've got a E4200 and when running the internet speed test from the Cisco Connect software the download works fine and then it immediately fails on the upload test. Happens on various other internet speed test sites as well. However does work on speedtest.net.

Try the following steps:
A] With the help of Cisco Connect Software (if at all you have installed the router with the help of this software)
1] Open the software and go to the option which says "Router Settings"
2] Then click on the option which says "Advanced Settings" which will take you to the router's configuration page.
3] Then go to the Wireless tab, keep network mode as mixed,
For Channel Settings of 2.4 GHz you can make Channel Width to 20 MHz only and Channel to 6, 9, 11..
For Channel Settings of 5 GHz you can make Channel Width to 20 MHz only and Channel to 40 or 161...
B] If you haven't installed Cisco Connect then you can log on to the router's user interface using it's default IP address in the browser which is 192.168.1.1 and type in 'admin' as the password leaving the username field blank. This will take you to the router's web interface and then follow steps as mentioned above to make the changes.

What is your fastest BT Wholesale Speed Test resul...

Hi,
Aplogies to the CL's if this is not the right forum but it definitely is speed related related. I tossed up where to post it but decided on here fuguring you will soon move it if you want to.
As the title suggests, and for a bit of fun, what is the fastest result you have got from the new BT Wholesale Speed Test ?
I'll kick off with this :-
Best regards,
dfenceman

Hi Keith,
I typed a long response but have lost it now ???
Right, I'll type it all again. You are right I am on ADSL as is the whole village. This result was obtained from the village school.
As you know, every speed test I have run on the "new" speed tester has returned a download speed in excess of my IP Profile and at times in excess of my downstream speed.
Under the County Councils cost saving, performance enhancing project the school has just had its wireless link replaced with 16 bonded copper pairs. This was projected to provide the school with 8Mbps, 2Mbps below all the other 250 odd in the county. I therefore asked the school to run a speed test to find out what it is actually getting and this was the result.
I thought it would provide a little light relief from what can be a very serious forum.
As I said in my OP I was unsure where to post it but I never expected you to move it ti Infinity, I thought it might be The Lounge. Neith of these are visited so frequently as the Speed/connection forum though.
Best regards,
dfenceman

From Comcast to FIOS with speed test documentary

Below is a link to a Youtube video made by me recently. It is a documentary of switching from Comcast to Verizon FIOS in the month of August 2011. It included installation details and speed tests.
Comcast speed test was done on a 25 Mbps down and 5 Mbps up.
FIOS speed test was done on a 35 Mbps down and 35 Mbps up.

I am wondering if the data from data speed test apps affects my overall usage from my plan

Yesterday as we were coming home on the highway, i decided to test the connection speed using an app from the google play store. I downloaded it because I had about 11MB or so used that day and decided to use my data. Once it finished downloading and installed I opened it and begun a test. It gave me a 15mb download and 2mb upload result so I did one more test. As I was doing the second test I get an alert about my data limit I set up for the day to pace out the 2GB I have for the month. I went to check my apps and saw I used about 40-50MB since using the data speed test app. Do these tests count against my actual plan?

Yes speed tests count against your cap if as Ann says you;re using them to test you mobile data. I think this where I see people complaining about their caps being exceeded but claim they don't do anything. People don't realize that speed tests are going to use 50 MB and even up to 80 MB of data. You do just 1 speed test in a day and you will use 1.5 GB to 2.5 GB a month. And some people feel the need to do 3, 5, 10 tests a day.

Re: Only BT Wholesale speed test says 75meg

I'm getting exactly the same issue. No other website or speed test site lets me download at anything above 32Mbit but the wholesale site says 70+Mbit. I've spent hours on the phone to BT today and they have no clue what the issue is. I've had my service less than a week (but more than the 3 day sync time), and for failing to provide my service they want me to pay £300+ cancellation charges.
This is besides the fact they messed up my order in the first place delivered the wrong Home hub, then lied and said they'd ordered the correct one which never turned up and when I chased was told it was never ordered.
As far as they are concerned because their website says it's the right speed then it's not their issue.

Run this speed tester then the further diagnostics and post all the reults including your IP profile for up and down.

Difference between BT Broadband Speed Test and all...

I have recently moved to BT Broadband from TalkTalk as I was dissatisfied with the speeds that I was getting with my TalkTalk line – they were OK outside of peak time but woeful in peak time. With TalkTalk, I was on their ‘up to’ 8Mbps which, in practice, translated to about 6Mbps for download outside peak times but dropped to below 1 Mbps in peak (around 500Kbps and sometimes even lower!) – these measurements were taken regularly with both the TalkTalk and Think Broadband speed tests which were usually roughly in agreement and I haven’t had to rely on memory as I downloaded the spreadsheet records available to Think Broadband registered users.
I am now posting this in the hope that somebody can explain the difference between the BT Broadband Speed Checker (Here) and all the others available on the web.
When you are first connected to BT Broadband they warn you that your speeds will vary over the first ten days while they test your line to ascertain optimum speeds for it. During that time, I checked it every day early, mid-day and evening (usually around 0630, 1230 & 2000 hrs) with Think Broadband and, yes, it did vary – the first day it started at around 1Mbps for download but rose to 10Mbps by the end of the day. On the second day, it rose to a peak of 17.8Mbps which was unbelievably fast to use (well, to me anyway) but never reached that speed again as over the rest of the ‘test period’, the download speed dropped and dropped to the point where I am now outside of the BT test period and consistently seeing only 2 to 2.5Mbps over a 24 hour period.
I emphasise that those speeds were all recorded using Think Broadband but I am now doing tests using the BT checker mentioned above and the speeds which BT indicate for downloads are consistently in the 14 to 18 Mbps range. If I do the BT and TB test in quick succession, they generally show the BT calculated speed to be better than that of TB by a factor of around 7 (ie. TB at 2 Mbps whilst BT show 14Mbps). Now either they are measuring different things (or the sams things differently) or one of them is lying – all I know is that my general browsing experience is slower outside of peak times and I can tell by the time it takes to load pages.
I might have misunderstood something in these tests but I am now beginning to regret that I fell I for the BT sales pitch which promised me ‘up to’ 20 Mbps but ‘more likely’ 17 Mbps. I have tried to discuss thisl with BT Broadband technical support but they were no use whatsoever – indeed, I got the impression that he was reading from a script and as it didn’t cover my issue, I was wasting my time – it would also have helped for English to be his first language!
According to the BT test, I am well within their ‘minimum guaranteed access speed’ (Here). for my area (about 4Mbps) and therefore cannot do anything about it. BUT that is only when measured using the BT speed tester – with any other, I am well below. I am beginning to feel very conned and might even start looking to withdraw from BT if I cannot get this settled.
Can anybody help. I will happily post detailed records of my various tests or router stats if they will help.
Thanks in advance.

For what it's worth, I followed the guidelines for the BT test and took all of the tests within a 10 minute period.
All I know is that my daytime BT connection is nowhere near as fast as I had from TalkTalk. Indeed, it was not even quick enough to watch non-HD YouTube videos earlier this morning without freezing to buffer.

Speed testing proceed with caution??

I've been fascinated by the various reports of variable speeds being seen on various different speed testing sites, so I've been having a play, and the results have been, shall we say, interesting.
Let's start at the top. No matter which machine I access it from, http://www.speedtester.bt.com/ shows me 56megs down and 12.89 up, with a max achievable of 60.1/20.
Namesco's ( http://www.speedtest.bbmax.co.uk/ ) shows 33623/14734 on my "work" partition, but if I reboot into another partition which is set up for webcasting, it, too reports the full 56megs down and 14/15 up. Same connection, same wires, barely five minutes apart on Mac OS X 10.7.3 in both partitions.
If I then, boot back into the work partition, and bring up Speedtest.net not only on there, but also on a couple of other machines, and set them all to check simultaneously, the combined total of the download speeds is - guess... yup, 56megs down and around 14 up.
Aside from quite fancying my connection giving me that full 20megs up (OK, I know, it'll be 19 or so), I'm really quite happy with this - and it does point out that, in all likelihood, severely fluctuating speed tests may not necessarily be line-related. If I wasn't able to reproduce all of this more or less at will, I may have thought differently, but it's an entirely repeatable excercise.

Yes indeed, none of the speedtests are reliably accurate all the time as their servers and routes to the server are subject to varying conditions. Speedtest.net is very dependent on which server you select, as their automatic server selection chooses based on ping results, which does not always give you a server with the fastest data rates (my results vary from 35 to 70Mbps, or as low as 2Mbps if you go out as far as New Zealand ). BT's main http://speedtester.bt.com/ (diagnostics) is up the pole for most of the day and is only any use for finding out your profile. However, their beta test is pretty good and is always worth trying: http://speedtester.bt.com/beta/speedtest-remote.jsp
BBMax is often said to be the best one but that could just be because it uses a much smaller download file and the test lasts for a shorter period of time. That means there is less scope for varying line and server conditions to intervene, and for Internet Security programs to slow things down.
So what I do is:
a) Turn off my Internet Security program (this can be very important)
b) find the fastest speedtest.net server and use that result
c) use BT beta speedtest (as I already know my profile)
d) check BBMax
The results of these three methods are nearly always between 69.x Mbps and 71.x Mbps, my profile is 72.8 Mbps. I don't think you'll ever get your 19Mbps upload by the way as I am on a 20Mbps cap but the fastest upload speed I've seen is 16.x binary Mbps and 17.x decimal Mbps.

Brand new user of Extreme and express - surprising speed test results

Dear All,
I had been using a linksys wireless router connected to a 20mps cable connection to send a wifi signal around my home. After a fair bit of research I upgraded to an airport extreme (wanted benefit of the gb ethernet ports and simultaneous dual band which the linksys did not have.)
So airport extreme set up nicely and speed test.net says I have download speeds of 19.23mbps on both my ipad and my macbook pro (2010). Signal does drop off in one part of the house so after a chat with the apple sales guy I also picked up an airport express to use as an extender. Using the excellent advice on this board mostly from Bob Timmons (found on a search) I was able to set express up and place in the part of the house where the signal didn't previosuly reach. It worked. So far so good. But, then an issue.
When the express is plugged in mbps on speed test drops from 19mbps to 4mbps on both the macbook pro and the ipad. Switch of the express reconnect the devices to wifi (I guess now they are focussing on the airport extreme) and speeds return back to the 19mbps!. Why would this be? And is there any way to fix it? The extra range is useful but not at the expense of all that speed.
thanks
Josh

Setup looks correct.
Have you tried some different channel settings to see if another channel might work better?
For 5 GHz, you would want to choose one of the higher numbered channels 149, 153, 159, 161 and make sure that "enable wide channels" is checked in Wireless Options.
For 2.4 GHz the lower numbered channels are usually more crowded, so you might try one of the higher numbered channels for that band, maybe 9, 10, 11.
Apple routers seem to be very sensitive to interference. If you have a cordless phone there, try powering it off for 45-60 minutes and restarting the Extreme and Express to see if that makes any difference.
If you have time, you can scan to see what other networks are working around you with a utility like iStumbler.
If you do this, you may be surprised that "full bars" is not as much signal strength as you might have thought. The "bars" are there pretty much for show. They really don't tell you much about the real signal strength on the network and they don't tell you anything about noise on the network, which can drag down speeds.

E4200 Internet Speed Test

I have slow internet speed with certain websites so I tried running a internet speed test with Cisco Connect version 3 with my E4200 router. It did not run, but responded with a "website not found" message. How can I correct this? Is this an indication that something else is wrong?

Hi! Do you have an updated firmware on that router? Based on my readings, firmware version 1.0.02 (build 13) supports IPV6. Higher than that is much better. You may check for the latest firmware from this link, http://support.linksys.com/en-us/support/routers/E4200

Airport Extreme Speed Tests (2GHz vs 5GHz)

I tested a 702mb file transfer (sending and receiving) with the Apple Extreme 802.11n. One system (20" Intel iMac) is on ethernet and the other (17" MacBook Pro with 802.11n enabled) is using the wireless connection. I wanted to find out if I should be running 802.11n in the 2GHz or 5GHz range. I have always though the better the signal strength the better the connection would be, but my findings were completely opposite.
The laptop remained in a static spot with no microwave oven or any strange electronics around to interrupt. I transferred the file up to my iMac and back down and viewed the network traffic through the Activity Monitor. I also used iStumbler to check my signal strength.
I know my testing has its flaws, but this is what I came up with...any recommendations to get better speed or am I looking at the best case?
Test 1:
2GHz - Channel 6
Signal Strength: 62%
File Send (Average/Max Burst): 2.6MB/s / 5.5MB/s
File Receive (Average/Max Burst): 5.8MB/s / 8.2MB/s
Notes: The speed is all over the place for both sending and receiving. The graph in Activity Monitor looks like a heart monitor.
Test 2:
5GHz - Auto Channel
Signal Strength: 35%
File Send (Average/Max Burst): 8.3MB/s / 8.5MB/s
File Receive (Average/Max Burst): 6MB/s / 6.9MB/s
Notes: The speed was not sporadic like the 2GHz test, although this time the sending was faster than the receiving.
Test 3:
5GHz - Auto Channel - Interference Robustness Enabled
Signal Strength: 36%
File Send (Average/Max Burst): 8.7MB/s / 8.8MB/s
File Receive (Average/Max Burst): 4.1MB/s / 5.8MB/s
Notes: Slower on the receiving than Test 2, but a bit quicker on the send.

Your general results are consistent both with my experience and what the protocol should be able to do.
1. Your absolute best results will be in .11n only mode at 5 GHz. .11n mode is more efficient and it is only at 5 GHz can you use 40 MHz wide channels. There is also essentially no interference at these frequencies particularly in channels 36, 40, 44, and 52 - the defaults for .11n at 5 GHz.
2. If you use .11n at 2 GHz you will have three problems: interference from ovens and other Wi-Fi networks, using .11n in compatibility mode that allows it to share with other networks at these frequencies, and the use of only 20 MHz wide channels.
