Telkom Speed test timeout

[seburn]

The page loads fine but I get "Timeout" written where the results go.

Which cannot be true coz the page loaded fast.

Anyone else?

Page loads faster than when the test is done, I think its broken

Probably you need actual internet connection to access it ... iBurst doesn't count as such

 

[slimothy]

[louisp]

do the test again, but hitting control button. Then realistic speed results coming up.

I've done the test with a fresh browser startup followed by two CTRL-Refreshes, all giving me above 1000 kbps. At the moment its down to about 880 kbps. And then again:

BTW I get similar results with IE & Firefox

P.S. ctrl + refresh doesnt work with firefox users, for those of you who do use firefox

Your line speed is approximately 1216.1 Kbps or 149 kBytes/sec

I am tired of ppl saying use ctrl F5 or clear your local cache for speeds over 1mb but under 2mb. UNLESS your harddrive runs at that speed its not a cache local problem. Most HD run at over 30mBYTE/s something over 240mbit/s.

 

[slimothy]

have you ever moved files from one hardrive to another at 30MB/s? Anyways its not how fast the hardrives reads the cache, your browsers engine loads the cache then draws it and evaluates the javascript so it only goes as fast as the browser engine lets it. in this case the long comment was missing and telkom was having problems that day because they were updating the speed test
