    "Test results are all over the map"

    March 14, 2012  |   By heavydude

    Pros

    Easy to use but that's about it.

    Cons

    Totally unreliable and inconsistent.

    Summary

    I have cable internet. I opened the program, ran the test, and got 9.71 mps. Thought that was low so I ran it again and got 13.72 mps.
    Over the next couple of minutes ran it several times and got readings of 19.14, 17.60, 19.47, 22.41.

    It seems as long as I keep the program open I get higher readings after the first low reading.

    But when I close the program and reopen it I get a reading of under 10 mps and subsequent readings range from low teens to low twenties.
