Good catch.  I didn’t see the Start Button.  I guess it went to the round one 
with Vista.

In addition this person seems to be using Windows XP which wouldn't surprise me 
if the computer was so old / filled with so much shit that it would cause 
issues like this. 15 year old OS still being used it's pretty scary.

  I got nowhere explaining Chicago-Atlanta is 1400 miles roundtrip and just 
based on speed of light, a 1 ms ping was not possible, so the test results were 
suspect.

  Plus he probably doesn’t understand that lower ping time is better.

  Life may get interesting when ISPs start publishing their FCC nutrition 
labels.  Some people with nothing better to do will be running speedtests all 
day and filing complaints.  Cheaper than playing the penny slots or video poker.

  Sir can you try any other Speedtest site besides this one and report back?

    Customer sent these to me complaining about his speed.  (don't you love 
people who take screenshots with their cellphone camera)

    The 0.10/0.10 speed may be low, but 1 ms latency from Chicago to Atlanta is 
excellent!  Call the high frequency trading guys.  Oops, the next speedtest 
shows 2656 ms.  It's also puzzling this speedtest site chooses the Atlanta 
server rather than the Chicago server.

    I'm assuming the speedtest just failed and showed bogus numbers rather than 
an error message.  Try and explain that to a non technical customer who tries 
to blame all his problems on slow Internet.  This is the guy putting up Ring 
doorbells all around his property, he's up to 3 of them now.  I don't think he 
uses the Internet for anything other than watch his Ring doorbells and run 
speedtests.
