I wonder... I visit <http://myspeed.visualware.com/index.php> where I
need both flash an java. I find that I have to turn on both individually
to get the speed test to work correctly: flash to select the region, and
java to perform the speed test. If I bypass the flash requirement:
<http://myspeed.visualware.com/servers/namerica/iad.php?testtype=-2&codebase=mcssjc.visualware.com&location=USA:>
Then all I need to do is turn on Java to work. And yes, I did test using
Windows:
Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 5.1; rv:18.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/18.0
SeaMonkey/2.15.1
Java(TM) Platform SE 7 U13
File: npjp2.dll
Version: 10.13.2.20
That said, I'd still turn on Java *only* if it is absolutely necessary &
then *turn it off* when no longer necessary.
Interesting...
The site you linked reported my speeds in SE Pennsylvania based on their Newark,
NJ server:
6.91 Mbps down
13.3 Mbps up
A moment later, <http://www.speedtest.net/> reported based on their New York
server:
57.46, 58.43 Mbps down (two tests)
32.68, 32.81 Mbps up (two tests)
I wonder who to believe?
I do seem to be able to stream HD video without jaggies or dropped frames, so
I'm leaning toward speedtest.
As a former news server project leader for at&t, I can tell you that your
network tuning and theirs can make a huge difference in observed speed,
particularly on long links. I first started looking at this when I was with GE,
feeding data over a satellite link, although I'm sure all of their sites have
surface connections.

We are not out of the woods yet, but we know the direction and have
taken the first step. The steps are many, but finite in number, and if
we persevere we will reach our destination. -me, 2010
