I know that these are not really very good but how do they work.I can try various ones and get different results.
On http://www.speedtest.net/index.php I have used the nearest one to me and got slightly better speeds than one further away but higher pings
They simulate a download to your machine, Baz, by one of several methods - all of which are prone to errors, especially if your AV software is running. I find that the Maidenhead server most closely relates to my results from a BT test, so I always use that one. Pings I ignore completely, the results are too wildly variable. If I want to do a ping test, I'll do it manually.
good points Rik :thumb:
i do ping tests they vary depends on how long it takes to cook. :dunno:
Not quite what we meant, Adam, but it makes a change for me not to be the first one to get food into a thread. ;D
i wanted to get ahead of you, i do know what a real ping test is i think.
I have two variants, but Sue complains if I use one of them. :whistle:
lol, never cross a women
I try not to. :)
it will end in a bloody nose.
My nose just squidges. :)
That could be useful
It always has been, though I do leave a large nose print on glasses.
dont push your nose on glasses then rik,
I never do on my own. :)
dont get sue mad then, whats on the menu for dinner?
She's not worn glasses long enough to have learnt the proper angle of approach. :)
DR rump steak tonight, chunky chips. Homemade curry tomorrow, roast heart of rump Monday - the latter two were due to be the other way round, but I'm going to the dentist's Tuesday, and try to avoid 'smelly' foods the night before.
do u have oven chips of deep fried chips?
Homemade chunky deepfries. Sue cooks a mean chip. :)
i love homemade chips and get my potatoes straight from the farms around here, along with my veg.
We get 25kg sacks from a farm shop. We seem, for reasons I can't explain, to get through a lot of spuds. Shame they don't count as one of your five a day.
dont they, i asked the doc if one can of cider was one of my 5 a day, she wasnt impressed.
They have no sense of humour...
no they, but they always want you to drop your trousers :dunno:
That rarely happens to me - but then they know the risks... :whistle:
haha she always asks me.
You should do it :music: My Way :music:
doc knows best rite?
Not always. The best ones listen to their patients.
i only go to the docs, with a cold.
Waste of time, they can do nothing to help you. :(
they give me sypthamy unlike at home
Meanwhile, they're thinking "You give that to me and your a dead man...". :)
its ok i dont get none.
Now that is sad. :evil:
true fact
;D
i cant help it.
......any hooos about those speed tests :)
Remind me, Baz. ;D
i forgot myself Rik ;) ;D
;D
sorry baz, i disracted rik, he's all yours.
it doesnt take much to do that Adam ;) ;)
DR.............see he'll be off again now
Rik's a bit like me, i set off in truck then 30mins later i forget were im going :meldrew:
Oh, I never forget where I'm going, just where I've come from. ;D
