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.
Since mine is the same in both cases, it must be theirs.
Still, 9:1 ratio is pretty shocking. I mentioned it largely to caution
the OP that his linked site may have issues unrelated to SeaMonkey. I
don't seriously believe my network's performance is that bad.
