I haven't, because I never have trouble with speed ( knock on wood ). You've got me interested though, because this seems to be a such a popular complaint here. Taking a quick look at the messages with the word "slow" in the topic, I noticed most of them are either solved or locked. Mostly solved. so I guess the tests work.
I can also see that some people here have a canned reply ready to go on this subject. Not a bad idea given it's popularity. :>)>

I don't see how Kimberly has any data left with the amount of data she is using just testing. Maybe she is with HughesNet, that would at least make more sense.

And I though I ran a lot of tests! Wow.
Over 450 of Kimberly Gardin's 657 tests thus far have been since Feb 3rd. And, as as you mentioned, they're all using the automatic test, with many of the test sizes being huge.
I wonder if, perhaps, Kimberly is testing for that SamKnows program.
With regard to JFBynon, I noticed that not only is he/she using the proper sizes, as you mentioned, but he/she is also testing both download and upload. Every one of JF's 145 tests thus far have been since Feb 3rd.

GabeU , you're probably right, more than just the average users checking their speed, I thought the same. Noticed Kimberly seems to be running the timed automatic test at 15 minute intervals, was doing them every 30 prior to that. Glad not my data going down the drain! :smileysurprised:
I'll blame those two whenever there is a speed/congestion problem posted here....lol.
