Haha, I got happy panda because I tested in China then tested back at my local server again.

When i'm at school, I'll do this test again: 150MBit down and 50Mbit up :D

Naah, I keep it fair and fun :)

Might as well, I did my test at work, haha.

Edit: Tested again at home:

Yipee for Road Runner's BS Power Boost that makes them look better on speed tests. Too bad the upload still looks like ****.

Yeah, his "ISP" is Softlayer Technologies, so he probably works there, but he tested with the Softlayer Technologies server too. So he basically did his speedtest over an internal network :p I consider that cheating :D

DaveLegg you gay, stop cheating :rofl: http://www.softlayer.com/ provides dedi servers and etc.

is it even theoretically possible to have a 1Gb/s connection?

Yup, South Korea are doing 1Gbps to home connections. I think some parts of Sweden and Japan are already there.

I concur. The rules state test your internet speed, not your LAN speed :)

Actually, my server is in Dallas, and I tested against a server in Fort Worth. I actually got better speed that way, than against a server at a different DC in Dallas, go figure. The server has a 1gbps connection, but obviously had traffic using it at the time (websites I host etc). Softlayer offer up to 10gbps connections to each server though. It's sometimes quite tempting :p but realistically, nothing on the other end would be able to keep up.

    • Microsoft about to radically change how often your Edge browser updates

      By testman · Posted

      Nothing is stopping you from continuing with your testing cadence. If updates are released every 2 weeks instead of 4, and you test once every 4 weeks, the exact same amount of patches will still be available for you in those 4 weeks. For example: Before 4th week - patch 1, 2, 3, 4 After 2nd week - patch 1 and 2 4th week - patch 3 and 4 Still the same amount after 4.
    • Microsoft about to radically change how often your Edge browser updates

      By testman · Posted

      Everyone else has said it. I'm gonna say it - you don't know what you're talking about. I do. I have two laptops. One work, one personal. I have access to two more laptops - both personal. At home I manually update my personal laptop when I see on Neowin that there is an update - I carry on and only apply the updates when I am ready. My work one only updates when my workplace decides to send it - I carry on and only apply the updates (when they actually arrive, which is usually days after the release) when I switch off the laptop at the end of the day as usual. The two other personal laptops only get updated when I get to it which is rarely - the people who own them carry on using them until I get to it and update them. All of the browsers on all laptops are configured to restore the tabs when launched. Google and Microsoft have changed from 6 weeks to 4, and it looks like it's going to move to 2. None of these changes affect how any of these browsers on the laptops are used. Not one jot. My advice to you is stop panicking whenever you see an update. Just carry on with what you're doing. This even benefits you in a way - from your comment you sound like you don't like the changes or the frivolous new features - great - then carry on as before!
