Speedtest.net now has a new design

Also... let's do a speedwave!

Oooh, that's pretty swish. Shame it means people on poor connections take like 20 mins to load the page though

Si · Tue Mar 08, 2011 10:08 pm

I don't think the page is that much bigger than before.

Skillers · Tue Mar 08, 2011 10:23 pm

Actually loads quicker for me now, I think.

Also, hah, fear my upload speed, Si!

great look at me getting all the sad panda achievments etc

The upload part of the test never finishes for me

it just slows down until it eventually reaches 0.01

Si · Wed Mar 09, 2011 8:32 am

Thats what happened for me (well dropped to about a third of my actual upload) and which gives me a bad looking upload speed.

azcn2503 · Wed Mar 09, 2011 8:32 am

After leaving it for a while it says about an error reading the upload file. Tried two servers but I get the same thing

What's this Speedwave thing all about?

kyhas · Wed Mar 09, 2011 9:24 am

click si's link and do a speed test, makes a group of us who can see who is doing what speed etc and gives out achievments for lolz in your group

Si · Wed Mar 09, 2011 5:52 pm

From the current Speed Wave I can see that only Kyhas has gone to the effort of making himself not a number

kyhas · Wed Mar 09, 2011 6:22 pm

i know right

azcn2503 · Wed Mar 09, 2011 6:49 pm

Sweet, just managed to submit from my insanely fast Sky BB connection!

I have no idea where Devizes is in the UK though.

I'll be honest, I just blew everyone out of the water and single handedly took the average down speed up by 2mbps

azcn2503 · Fri Mar 11, 2011 8:45 am

I am both a Sad Panda and a Happy Panda.

Skillers · Fri Mar 11, 2011 10:35 am

And still my upload is the best, lol.

azcn2503 · Fri Mar 11, 2011 12:02 pm

Kyle just destroyed us on the upload test.

Just retested myself. I got a 1758ms ping, 0.24Mbps download, 0.03Mbps upload!

... I was testing to Japan.

Hai guyz

I should go steal some connection in the labs, I'm pretty sure they have 100Mbps synchronous there

Yeah, no uni connections

Otherwise those would win... And Si, no testing on the server either lol

My friend worked for Fasthosts and had access to an even faster connection at one point, and that was 5 or 6 years ago :O

Update: but he got fired.

DHR-107 · Wed Mar 16, 2011 1:16 pm

having trouble staying signed in and it freaking out on me a little today

Fired? Did he abuse the connection then?

azcn2503 · Mon Mar 21, 2011 3:30 pm

I think it was just that he couldn't complete as many support tickets as the other guys. Slacking basically.
