Speedtest.net bug?

[Jagtiger]

Don't know what's happened...

Today, I had decided to test iBurst speed to London...

And got this :

Nearly fell off my chair...

If it is not bug, then....
If it is a bug, then... A good joke!

Seems to be working. I just tested my 1Mg Screamer WiMAX connection and got this result.

It looks like you have hit a wormhole. Get downloading if you are on an uncapped package

We are talking about "over possibilities" speeds i.e. if you got 5000Mbps then that will be "over possibilities" speed.

BTW, someone "wormholed" on Vodacom... I think it's wired connection.

Another 2 wormholes:
5000Kbps


12000Kbps (shown in megabytes i.e 1,54 * 8 =12,320kbps and 0,03 * 8 = 240kbps)


Those killed me completely!

ok... another one is insane: 18Mbps

Rather try Speakeasy's speedtest instead. At least you have something to compare your results with.

Washington, DC.
Last Result:
Download Speed: 6610 kbps (826.3 KB/sec transfer rate)
Upload Speed: 122 kbps (15.3 KB/sec transfer rate)
Again...

Done that, same bug (wrote in above post). Didn't found any comparisons to do.

I think so. There are 2 things may cause this:
1) General bug.
2) Proxy. Station makes Speedtest.net thinking that this is user's end point and display industrial speed i.e. speed at which station downloads and upload to outside of ISP's network.
3) I'm not always getting such speeds, 200-300Kpbs is common. This making me thinking that 2) is not correct.

What do you think?

From Stellenbosch University to JHB. Bandwidth upgraded on Friday.

Real results, no bugs. I was downloading a file, multi-threaded... speed kept climbing till just over 1900KB/s when the download finished!
