.Testmy.net speed results are a joke, and a flatout lie. More accurate results come from hughesnetspeedtest which is way more in-line with the actual download speeds. Testmy shows speeds up to 60mbps, while the second site shows on average .5-3mbps. When actually downloading a file for school it downloads at 21KB/s when I still have over 25gb left on my Priority data. Then during good hours I can get up to 321KB/s for a steam download. Now I know you're going to say the two are different but let's do some math so MB is differents than mbps, downloads are in mbps not MB, so 1MB = 8mbps. Now hughesnet says speeds of 25mbps, but speedtest on average for the testmy.net site shows 40-60mbps. So once again let's do math even at 25mbps. 25mbps / 8 = 3.125MB. so if we convert MB into KB there's 1000KB in 1MB, the download speed my browser shows me for a single file download is 21.5KB/s. To download a 300MB file takes me over 4 hours. Hughesnet and their speedtests are absolute scam artists.
