Time Warner/Spectrum seems to provision for 20% above advertised speed both upload and download. They have been consistent on that percentage for a while now on many locations I have had the opportunity to test.

That's my philosophy as well. 5% is sufficient I think. You can try to explain packet headers and other overhead, or just give them a little bump and avoid having to field the question. ------ Original Message ------ From: "Bruce Robertson" <br...@pooh.com> To: af@afmug.com Sent: 11/21/2017 3:34:04 PM Subject: Re: [AFMUG] New tester - Daddy Likes! I have always bumped them up by 5-10% to do our best to ensure that the customer gets more than we promised. Saves a lot of explaining on the phone!

It's not dependent on the laptop being in good working condition, free of malware, good ethernet chipset, etc. But to play devil's advocate here....you can get a pretty decent laptop for what that tool seems to cost. Seems to be about $1000 based on my initial Google shopping search. Maybe you pay less in real life. ------ Original Message ------ From: "Mike Hammett" <af...@ics-il.net> To: af@afmug.com Sent: 11/21/2017 1:24:26 PM Subject: Re: [AFMUG] New tester - Daddy Likes!

Exfo has a new tester that works with ookla. We just got one to try this morning. This is a 1 Gig test. Spot on when you net out the TCP/IP and other overheads.
