Latency testing?

Why is the single most important issue users have with satellite internet not tested by testmy.net?

   Maybe because it's  built right in to the modem connectivity test, but that only covers between the modem and gateway.  If you wanted to check on a site overseas, you could always use the ping command from a Linux terminal.

  I don't know if I really trust testmy.net that much, since it always shows about 50% more than the Hughes speed test on my system.
