I see they support speed-test via IPv6 testing! Good job & kudos to them! :) I just wish their Australian server was part of the IPv6 selection pool. 150+ms to the nearest one from down here. Pete smime.p7s Description: S/MIME cryptographic signature

You can't get SFP+ PCI cards anyways. I don't think you can very easily get boards with PCI on them, either. I expect he was just typing it out and left the "E" =) Josh Luthman Office: 937-552-2340 Direct: 937-552-2343 1100 Wayne St Suite 1337 Troy, OH 45373 On Mon, Nov 9, 2015 at 5:32 PM,

Re: Updated Ookla Speedtest Server Requirements

The speedtest.net is flash based. Many computers struggle to measure 1g speed and not because the network is slow. I think you will find it very hard to get a 10g measure. If you like us just want to be sure your 1g users get 1g even when other users are running parallel tests, you do not need to
