I see little, if any difference between the speed test results obtained here via the HTML5 test and the speediest.net Flash test The results are almost identical. The accuracy is spot on! Can't use speed test in all smart wifi router, i have tested this browser system:os x 10.11.3,flash 20.0.0.286 safari 9.1 can't use chrome 48.0.2564.82 can't use system:win10 IE 10 also have this problem only Edge browser can display speed test tools normally maybe need adjust the old flash-base.

Luke Send message Joined: 31 Dec 06 Posts: 2546 Credit: 817,560 RAC: 0 | Hi Folks, I'd like to do a comparison on how slow New Zealand broadband really is compared to other parts of the world. Coz' I feel (and others in NZ) that New Zealand is a whole generation behind in the Internet Speed Game. If you could please layout results like this (using speedtests' forum link): Data Cap (if any): 6GB per month And please say if you think your speed is fast or slow.. Thanks, Luke. - Luke. |

(Just across the lake) [Edit: Data speed Shaped after 12GB, but no extra charges for blowing the cap] I consider it reasonably fast compared to the ADSL plans here, but there are indeed cable 'extreme' and ADSL2+ plans available here for extra cash. If you don't have those available, then yes, probably your assumption of a generation behind us might be right. But not by much, they only the faster plans late last year / early this year I think.'Living by the wisdom of computer science doesn't sound so bad after all.

According to the Summary tab on SpeedTest, mine is faster than 96% of connections globally. My average is 9863 KB/s downloads and 1199 KB/s uploads (all done on North American servers). It helps that I'm in an area that Comcast uses to test new high-speed broadband technologies. Sometimes it doesn't help though - some of the servers in Canada only give me around 5,000 KB/s downloads. Overall, I'm happy with it.Cruiser Gateway GT5692 L-f-S Edition -Phenom X4 9650 CPU -4GB 667MHz DDR2 RAM -500GB SATA HD -Vista x64 SP1 -BOINC 6.2.19 32-bit client -SSE3 optimized 32-bit apps |

Unlimited with no cap apparently, but a fair use policy is supposed to apply! Hope this helps your research! <edit> Virgin Media is a UK cable company, and has a 20Mb service running. They are trialling a 50Mb service.</edit> regards, Gizbar. A proud GPU User Server Donor! |

Something is definitely amiss: Those numbers are for the closest server, which is probably hosted by the ISP. For a server slightly further away, Hosted by someone else I presume. Here's an especially disappointing one: |
Luke Send message Joined: 31 Dec 06 Posts: 2546 Credit: 817,560 RAC: 0 | Hi Luke, did a speed test here and got this:- Hi Gizbar, and everybody else! Thank you all so far! I pay NZ$40.00 per mo. for my connection, which is roughly $24.00 U.S. Right now.. after reading the results.. I'm not very happy with my connection. But it is one of the fastest in my country! I live in Wellington, NZ, so that is the best server you can use if you want results of my area. Thanks again, and I hope to see more results from others here!- Luke. |

gizbar Send message Joined: 7 Jan 01 Posts: 586 Credit: 21,087,774 RAC: 0 | Luke, just chucked some figures into xe.com and got the following back. Cost £46.00 per month, which is approx $72.07 US Dollars per month or $122.12 NZ Dollars per month. Broadband alone is £25.00 per month, $39.18 US, $66.44 NZ. That does include landline phone (but not cost of calls), cable tv (approx 80 channels), and cable broadband (10Mb, unlimited service, fair use policy). I think it's pretty fast. regards, Gizbar.

Understanding Internet Speed and Latency
Internet connection speed is defined by how much data is transmitted through an Internet connection each second. A connection of 5 Mbps for example means the connection is passing 5000 kilobits (or 5 megabits) of data each second. If you think about an Internet data connection in terms of a water hose, the more you turn up the spigot the more quickly water fills a bucket. Internet data is similar. If you are loading a web page (the bucket), then the faster your connection (the pressure in the hose) the faster the page will load the required data to display the page (water filling the bucket).
The size of the average email is about 100 kilobits while the average webpage without video is about 200 kilobits. These are very small buckets and your Rise Broadband connection fills them in fractions of a second. Once you start streaming video your need for speed increases. A typical video on a webpage may use about 1000 kilobits per second (or 1 Mbps). An HD streaming video typically ranges between 2.5 Mbps to 4 Mbps. As you stream video your need for a continuous amount of high speed data connectivity goes up exponentially. Streaming video players typically will load a buffer of data, or in other words, preload data so that the video will play more smoothly regardless of variation in connection speed.
Latency is another variable than can impact the responsiveness of your Internet connection. Latency is defined as how much time it takes for data packets to get from one location to another. Latency is measured in milliseconds (thousandths of a second). The higher the latency the longer the delay between request and response. In a network, every piece of equipment data passes through creates some amount of latency. For example, a data request may go from your computer through a WIFI device, to a router, to the radio transmitter, to a tower, to a fiber connection, to an Internet route, and to the receiving server. The request is then processed and returns through the same route in reverse. Each step in the process adds some level of latency in milliseconds. The combined latency is then the total latency you see included on the test above. With all of these variables, latency can vary dramatically from site to site you may visit. To best understand the speed of the connection you are getting from Rise Broadband, it is recommended you use the above speed test as it is testing your connection to the Internet and eliminates the many variable we do not have control over. Therefore, it is the most accurate representation of the connection quality Rise Broadband is providing.

Speed Test On My Internet Connection
Many other variable can impact the speed of your connection:
1. High network utilization either by multiple users on your own connection or heavy usage by subscribers in your local area can have an impact on your connection. For example, if multiple users are accessing the Internet at your location (home or business) all at once, then everyone is attempting to fill their data needs with the same hose. One way to resolve this issue is to upgrade to a faster connection to satisfy the needs of multiple users. Going from a 5 Mbps connection to a 10 Mbps connection will double the size of your hose. From a larger network view, Rise Broadband continuously monitors the network data demands and upgrades network resources (larger data pipes) to provide for the ever growing demand of Internet resources. In some instances, a large number of simultaneous users can stress network resources and cause some slowing of speeds. Rise Broadband engineers are constantly at work to minimize any such issues.

2. Issues with your connection such as misalignment of your signal or heavy interference may also cause slow speeds. If you suspect you have such an issue please contact Rise Broadband technical support for help.
3. Most locations now have routers and wireless WIFI routers. Often routers have issues with passing traffic between your devices and the Internet. If you are experiencing slow speeds, one of the first steps is to reboot your router to see if it will resolve the issue. This is the most common cause of slow speeds.
4. Frequently malware on a computer can cause slow computer response to loading data. Protect your computer devices from viruses, spyware or other malware using the latest anti-virus and spyware software. Malware programs hide in the background using up computer resources and Internet connectivity resources without you even knowing. If you suspect you have a malware issue, you can contact a local IT company for assistance. Mimolive 4 7 35.
5. As you run programs, an operating system, and browser all of these require computer RAM (Random Access Memory) and processing power to function. Too little RAM or processing power can significantly slow down your computer’s speed. If you are experience slow Internet speeds you may want to check the amount of RAM you have in your computer or the number of programs you have open at any given time. Talk to a qualified computer technician about recommendations to understand ways to improve your computer’s performance.
6. The speed of the site you are visiting can also impact how fast you receive information. The Internet is a vast network of computers and servers exchanging information around the world. The length of the route, the complexity of the route the data travels, the speed of the servers and devices processing information, the complexity of the request, the number of simultaneous requests and the amount of data being delivered all have an impact on how quickly you receive back your requested information.
