This is sort of a black art. Depending on which online service is providing the test, I've seen my upload and download speeds vary by more than two orders of magnitude. Further, since pretty much all cable ISPs were at one point in league with the Devil before finally usurping Lucifer's throne, I can't even rely on the vague promises made by their tech support imps and balseraphs. This isn't to say there's no point in what you're doing -- I think there's a lot of merit to it! -- but if we all use a different service we're going to introduce an awful lot of statistical noise. Is there any particular bandwidth capacity test that you would prefer we use? _______________________________________________ Sks-devel mailing list Sks-devel@nongnu.org https://lists.nongnu.org/mailman/listinfo/sks-devel
