I seem to be experiencing very erratic speed fluctuations with my new FairPoint DSL account. I just ran two tests of both download and upload. The download speeds were both similar, but the two upload speeds ranged from 1 Kbps to 90 Kbps. Does anyone know what would cause this wide variation only a couple of minutes apart? I ran the tests before signing in (oops), so I had to copy and paste the results.::. Upload Test Results.::: Upload Connection is:: 4 Kbps about 0 Mbps (tested with 193 kB) Upload Speed is:: 1 kB/s Tested From:: (Dallas, TX USA) Validation Link:: db/Razg9Qk Test Time:: 2011-07-30 00:27:27 Local Time 1MB Upload in 17 Seconds - 1GB Upload in ~5 Hours - 0X faster than 56K Tested from a 193 kB file and took 428.554 seconds to complete Running at 1% of hosts average (myfairpoint.net) User Agent:: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.9.2.3) Gecko/20100423 Ubuntu/10.04 (lucid) Firefox/3.6.3 [!] ------------------------------------------------------------------------::. ![]() I don't really know what's happening, but right now I am thinking that my dial-up was faster at least in connecting to sites, if not downloading them. I just tried to run the upload test again. It started and ran and ran until I finally got the message 'The connection has timed out. The server at testmy.net is taking too long to respond.' I know some sites can occasionally be too busy, but this seems to happen way too often, more so than with my dial-up.
