Can't help but notice JFBynon and Kimberly Gardin love doing speed tests over at Testmy.net. Appears the former is running the recommended file sizes while latter is automatic and all over the place....

I am not sure if the city next to the test server represents where they are at, but Kimberly goes to Macon NC (beam 82) and JFBynon goes to Eutawville, SC (beam 98), if I understand this right.

 

Squawk -- I'm on beam 82, so I hope they are not beating up my beam too badly :-(

 

I prefer using ping tests -- it may not be as accurate, but I can still get an idea when things are slowing down or busy  without chewing through the GB, and can create a track around the clock that does not bug others I share the beam and gateway with.

 

 

Edit: I left out a part -- the server for the test was Dallas.

Likely the city closest to where the gateway is at.

    Sorry, I couldn't resist.
