I am seeing large diffs in speed tests. I have run many of these and the results are generally similar for each test site. These were run withing a 1 minute of each other.
up Mbps / dn Mbps
dslreports: 1.59 / 0.77 (flash)
speedtest: 19.48 / 1.70
pcpitstop: 15.81 / 2.64
speakeasy: 11.60 / 2.09
I am running Win7 Pro SP1
FireFox 26 (25 had same results)
IE 11
Flash 11,9,900,170
Java 7 45
I can't understand why DSLReports is always so low and what I consider inaccurate. The reason for my testing is that my connection is very lousy and even though three of the testers indicate great performance I often see pings over the 120 miles to LA jump to 1000+ and can wait for minutes to transfer a 15MB picture file to a friend's ftp site or download a game update. I can not get the Java DSL test to work and have the current JRE and FireFox updates.
Does anyone know if I have a setting messed up or am missing something?
Thanks
