High or Low Speed
November 9th, 2007
There may be some confusion as to what High Speed and Low Speed is, so let me explain which one you should choose when testing your internet connection.
Low speed is anything like dial up modems, such as the 56k modems. High speed includes DSL and cable modems. It is not going to hurt you to run a low speed test on a high speed connection, but running the high speed test when you have a low speed connection will take a few minutes to complete.
The selections are available only to help speed things up. For very high speed connections, the high speed test will provide greater accuracy than that of the lower test.
I’m using a 128k ISDN line, should I use the high speed test? Thanks for the test by the way!

Hi Gregg, is you are using ISDN under 512, you should use the low speed test.
Have a great day!

Question number #4 asks:

My Response is:
Bonjour,
Votre test de vitesse résultats sont typiques d’un modem câble et sont de bons vitesses. Ce sont les vitesses j’ai à la maison.
Ont un grand jour!

Your speed test results are typical of a cable modem and are good speeds. These are the speeds I have at home.

I have an old DELL E-310 Series PC — with a 3.06 Gig processor, 2 gigs of memory, an Intel Gigabit Adapter, and a Motorola SB6120 Cable Modem.
My connection speed is so fast that I had to tie a knot in the cable to slow it down
