BT Performance Ping Test speed way out.

Anyone know why the BT Performance ping test is way out compared to other test tools?
When I run the performance test, BT's ping test returns 'speeds' of over 100ms (yes, that'sone hundred ms). Yet if I perform similar tests under the same conditions ie literally seconds later, using different tools such as Speedtest.net, Im getting pings of 20 - 32ms. Go back to BT Performance test and ping is still in the range of 100ms.
Ive even done ping tests using servers nearly 150 miles from home and even they return pings of less than 30ms!
Why the massive difference? Why is BT's ping taking on average 100ms. Do they use a London server or something?

Hi curiousfellow,
Thanks for posting. Can you post the results you're getting from the different servers and we'll take a look at them for you.
Cheers

I just bought a new ipad 2, but cannot use it as it only shows the itunes logo and a cable. This means it's telling me to connect to itunes. I've done this and performed sync, still no way out. I have been told by friends to "unlock" it. Please how?

Have you already activated the iPad? That is what the screen is telling you to do - connect to the computer with the supplied cable and run iTunes while connected - and iTunes should guide you through the set up process. If you have already set up the iPad and you are still getting thos screen message - restore your iPad. You must be running iTunes 10.5 on your computer as well.

If you can't restore this way, you will need recovery mode.

Occasionally got 'Request timed out' when trying to do Ping test on the server. What likely will be the cause?

I want to troubleshoot what causing the connection unstable between workstation and server. When i try do the ping test, the reply sometime 'Request timed out' Any idea what likely the cause of this issue?
I tried change network adapter, change network cable, change network port, reassign different ip address to the server. Still the result remain. I got another server on the same rack and same ip segment(base), but the other server is ok.
Any idea on this guys?
Thanks.

Hi S.Akmal,
The request timed out also can caused by the remote computer no replayed, you can try to check the remote server whether it have some network issue, you also can connect this
server to another server directly(just connect them with cable) then try the ping then can determine whether issue occur on this server.

Ping test in Java

Hello everyone!
Is there a way that I can call a "ping" test from a java program and catch the results? I basically want to right a program that runs through an entire list of IP addresses and verify whether I can talk to those devices or not. I know how to create the variables and display them, I'm just not sure how to actually perform the actual "ping".
Thanks!

I had the same problem a few months ago when I had had to write a network performance monitor.
I ended up with the following code:
     try {
     Runtime r = Runtime.getRuntime();
     Process p = r.exec("ping 172.20.1.2 -n 1");
     BufferedReader in = new BufferedReader(new InputStreamReader(p.getInputStream()));
     // Insert some code here to read and parse the returned string...
     catch (IOException e) {
     e.printStackTrace();
If you like I could mail you the entire code.
Andy.

Apple Hardware Test (Perform Extended Testing)

Hit the 'E' key to select Perform Extended Testing if you are unable to select it with a mouse.
I've been working on my wife's new iMac (I7 27") that she purchased a few months ago. Because it is so new, I wouldn't even waste my time on it and just sent it back to Apple to have them look at it (currently suffering slow startup times), however we recently moved overseas to Kyiv, Ukraine. During the troubleshooting, I found the following site:
http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1509
which informs users how to use Apple's Hardware test. Unfortunately, the app only recognized the wireless keyboard and not the wireless mouse. I didn't know who to contact to have the webpage updated because there is a way you can enable the extended hardware test from the keyboard (by hitting the 'E' key). Unfortunately, I had to figure this out on my own after exhaustive searching on the internet and websites. Hopefully, someone can pass this information along. I wish the app was more keyboard friendly.
I see some other posts that I haven't tried yet, so hopefully they might resolve me issue.
If I can't fix the problem, I'm going to have to see if there may be a rep in this country who to replace/fix the unit.

Yesterday I ran the Apple Hardware test ( Version 3A181 - Perform Extended Testing ) from my MacBook OS Install DVD and Everything passed 100% ( entire test took 57 minutes and 15 seconds )
Forgot to mention after the Apple Hardware test was finished No Problems Were Found...
This isn't making any sense to me - Any Suggestions to what the cause of these Safe Boots may be ?

Internet Speed Terribly, Consistenly SLOW... Despite "Good" Test Speed Results!

Internet has been terribly slow since we got FIOS Internet (75/50mbps) installed here half a year ago.
YouTube clips, Skype and even our NetFlix streams are all choppy, and inconsistent. Doing searches on Google, Yahoo, or Edmunds would take 3 to 10 seconds...which we all know in 2014 is completely unacceptable.
I have done my homework validating all the potential failure points. I am in the software industry since 1999 and have an expert knowledge in network, databases and systems integration in general. Everything that can be checked, have been done. I've followed all your suggestions on the website, but in vain.
I'm connecting to the FIOS router from several different devices (PC Laptop, MacBooks, iPhone and iPad) wirelessly about 3 to 30 feet away. No microwaves, no fridges, no baby monitors, no thick walls or doors obstructing. Apple TV and WD External HD are unplugged.... yet the internet is SLOW. Ran the Speed test over the past weeks and months, and I always 'score' pretty good....50/35 or 65/40mbps etc. The numbers are impressive but do not reveal the real performance! Back in our old home in Brooklyn, my scores were the same (using Verizon FIOS - same service/speed)...but the speed lived up to the Speed Test results. Had no problem over there.
Can anyone help me? What am I missing? Any special tricks of the trade with this Verizon FIOS internet service?
If this is not getting resolved very shortly, I am ready to escalate this to the management level at Verizon.
Please advise. Thanks everyone for listening.

The best way to find where the problem is without using test gear is by the process of elimination.
Test you LAN using LAN Speedtest. First test using Ethernet connections and see if you can get speeds of 90+ Mbps. Much higher is possible if the equipment you are testing with has gigabyte capability at both ends.
If you can't 90+ on your LAN there is a problem with your LAN setup that needs to be addressed.
Then you can test speeds on your LAN using WiFi.
Using Speedtest introduces to many additional variables making it very difficult to diagnose throughput problems.
Once you know that your LAN is up to standard then you can point at Verizon.

My computer is slow on the internet and even stops at times, i have 98mbps to the modem but only 20 mbps and sometimes less on a ping test- what is wrong? i am using a wireless connection do i need to upgrade my wireless modem in the mac?

my computer is very slow I have 98mbps to the modem but when i run a ping test on the machine i get 20 mbps and sometimes it is .10 mbps- do i need to upgrade my wireless modem on the machine? what can i do?

used speed test and got 20 mbps, tested the modem and got the 98mbps...something weird as my system just stops and will not load to sites like google and yahoo but will always respond to sites like CNN...does this mean anything?

Self ping test

Hi
In component monitoring under self ping test we see a tab that says Has an Integration server destination been defined ? What is the destination for the IS mentioned here ? Is it same as HTTP destination ? Or is the pipeline url being mentioned here ?
Midhun

Hi Midhun
In component monitoring you can see your server domain. Under that
Integration server
integration engines
Non - central adapter engines
J2SE adapter
Tools
Self ping test works for selected components
Now Is a Destination Defined for the Integration Server?
This test is only performed for ABAP proxy systems, not for the Integration Engine of the Integration Server. This test checks whether a destination is defined for the Integration Server. You configure this destination manually for the local Integration Engine using transaction SXMB_ADM
Thanks

The display on my 4 year old iMac has horizontal lines and gradations of gray. Is my machine on its way out? Can I fix the screen?

My four year old iMac has developed horizontal lines and gradations of gray over the last month. Is my machine on its way out? Is there anyway to fix the display?

If you live near an Apple Store, make a Genius Bar appointment to have the computer tested. Supposedly there is no charge for testing.

Ping test keep dropping any advice

Hi,
I had this problem 3 weeks agos, now every night from 8pm - 12pm very unstable other time the connection is fine no problem.
i run ping test (from a cable connection) and it keep dropping, i sent 100 ping test to www.google.com -n 100 i get 3% loss which make my game play very unstable and unplayable.
i've try all sort of things unplug tv box disconnect all laptop disable wireless and test and still dropping.
also called Bt many time and done.
many times, speed test, line test, noise test replaced my Home hub twice and i still having same problem.
it was fine anytime other than from 8pm - 12pm
this very frastrate me because if is work fine on other time that mean there are no problem with my equipment and my
setup i dont have anything install or turn on practically on that time of night.
i suspect someone is running a or business on our block make big amount of traffic causes my unstable connection.
any advices ?
thanks,

in order for the forum members to help please can you post the adsl stats from your router unless HH4 may need to 'show detail' to get all stats (if hub enter 192.168.1.254 in your browser and navigate to adsl or use a-z, if netgear enter 192.168.0.1) and run btspeedtester (MAC users may have problems). when first test completes then run diagnostic test and post the results .
are you connected directly via a filter to the NTE5 master or test socket or to somewhere else? Is the master the only phone socket in your home?
Have you tried the quiet line test? - dial 17070 option 2 - should hear nothing - best done with a corded phone. if cordless phone you may hear a 'dull hum' which is normal
Someone may then be able to offer help/assistance/suggestions to your problem

Ping Test

Can your wireless router do a ping test to 66.161.11.90 (www.linksys.com) or any other www.com for that matter?
Mine can't, either with my wireless PB G4 running OS X 10.4 or wired Dell running Windows XP. I tried it with a wrt54g v5 & wrt54g v6 both tests got a 'request timed out' with 100% packet loss. v5 had the latest firmware, v6 is still at 1.00.9

hi you can do your ping test here whoisxy.com here they provide you good results .i test my ping here

Test Player time out

Hi guys
Need a pointer..
Am trying to explore the standard functionality of test player timed out if a time out alert is enabled....
But when i try doing this , doesn't seem to be working....
not sure of the following:
does this happen for surveys as well?
any other profile option or any other set up is required for this ?
cheers

Hi,
Actually IMHO iLearning 5.0 does assessments in a strange way...
This is how it works:
The test timer starts when the user starts the test. (Even if the user leaves the test, the timer still runs.) According to Oracle, this is intended behavior. The 'remaining time' display is only refreshed when the user does refresh the browser or go to a subsequent screen - test section.
So it is possible that the user does not receive an alert concerning the time remaining at all (there is no pop-up or anything, the alert is only the display of the time remaining on top of the screen...)
Once time has expired, the user is locked out of continuing or submitting the test and the status of the test in the database is failed (if I remember correctly. However, I'm sure the test is not submitted automatically on timeout, the system just assumes the score is zero.)
Another strange thing: you can set a test as resumable, but when the user leaves the test - with an intention to return later - the timer does not stop...
The only workaround I see is that you do one question per page (=test section) but it's very tedious work...
This did work differently before iL 4.2... In earlier versions you couldn't make multi-page timed tests, however there was a real-time ticking clock and a pop-up alert as well. On timeout, the test was submitted so the user got a score for it. Oracle says this was changed because lots of customers wanted it to change...
hope this makes things clearer even if we can't really change the way OiL works.. (I currently struggle with the same issue and will possibly build a custom test display engine w. Flash..)
cheers

When the Apple Store tests a zeroed out hard drive, is their test as intensive as wd lifesaver etc. software's in napping out bad sectors etc.

When the Apple Store tests a zeroed out hard drive, is their test as intensive as wd lifesaver etc. software's in napping out bad sectors etc.
I do know one test at the Apple store is a three or four hour test that is very thorough for the whole Mac Pro computer, system by system test, I'm curious what kind of test they perform if you're testing the hard drive for bad sectors or whatever I'm a novice
I mean is it as effective or more effective than the software called wd lifesaver?
Does anyone have any idea what software they use or is their test only testing the systems of the computer and not just the hard drive?
I am moving from PC to Mac right now I have not even use my 2009 Mac Pro yet I was told to have the hard drives zeroed out and tested to start with a clean slate this is what I'm trying to do.
Thank you

The chip on the hard drive itself basically takes care of bad sectors. If an operation tries to write to such a sector, the drive will mark it bad and move onto the next one. That's why zeroing the drive effectively does the operation of mapping bad sectors - the whole drive is checked.
Their general hardware test does not do a full drive check, as far as I remember - the memory check can take a long time, though, since they're looking for random errors.
So for your Mac Pro, you should feel confident that doing a one-pass zero (don't do more than one pass, it's a waste of it me), will be enough initialization for the drive. And many drive experts don't even bother with that, relying on modern drive chips/firmware to do the job of checking for bad sectors on the fly.

When downloading a large PDF file, firefox stops after some of file and hangs up. Only way out is to close browser or power down. Internet explorer will complete download of same PDF file.

For example, go to irs.gov and try to download 1040 instructions as a PDF file. Firefox hangs up after part of the file is downloaded, but will not complete the download. The only way out is to close the browser (Firefox). Sometimes the only way out is to power down computer and reboot. I'm running Windows XP Professional. My computer has plenty of memory and disc space, so that is not the problem. When I use Internet Explorer (UGH!) it takes a while, but the very same pdf file will completely download.
