They ping your computer and return the speed, not that difficult. I would expect it to be different every time unless there is no one else on you network all the way to the provider.
you share bandwidth, the only way you would be consistent is if you had your own dedicated T1 hookup and no one else used it.

Cnet is garbage. And your download speed doesn't mean jack diddly ****, it's your upload that's important. 16mb down, 2mb up.
Also just cause your download/upload shows a certain speed doesn't mean that's how fast you can download, it needs to be divided to get a true number. My upload is 2mb and that relates to about 230k a sec upstream. </div></BLOCKQUOTE>

I'm supposed to have a 3mbs download at home and all I can get with these meters is 100-200kbs. I've noticed that it's definately been running slow recently....

That's not the point. The point is numbers vary too wildly with these tests to ever get an accurate number from them as you can see from peoples results. It has nothing to do with sharing bandwith, there are not enough people on my node to make a difference, I live in a very small town.

Nope, they send imbedded data over and time it from the start to the time it returns a "complete" packet.
Average Throughput = Bytes transferred x 8/Download time
Once you do it once, some or all of the transmitted data is cached so its faster the next time.
Geek that!  |
