Running speed tests...really sporadic?

Hey all, I'm running internet speed tests from two different sites, Speed Test.net and Speakeasy.net. My internet seems perfectly fine right now (just had my ISP install a new DOCSIS 3.0 gateway today), but I was just curious as to what speeds I'm getting wirelessly. I have the 30mbps speed package with my ISP by the way.

On one test of the download speed, on either site, It'll shoot up to over 50 mbps, then on the next test it'll be as low at 10 mbps or will maybe show over 20....On upload speeds, on both speed test sites, it's taking forever to come back with a result, and will eventually time out. Both sites come back with an "error" in calculating upload speeds. What's up with this? This is something new since the new gateway modem was installed....Like I said, everything seems fine, but these calculations are kind of crazy.

    pass u . s . a . is on terrain with hills and trails. pass u . s . a . will certainly make it easier to to out with the 800 which relatively isn't a distance run and the mile that's a distance run. The pass u . s . a . season might have practices with some days you will run approximately 10 miles and others you may purely run a million mile. The practices are extra severe then wintry climate song or spring song because of the fact they're preparing you for an prolonged distance. song distance working is going as much as a 3200 that's a 2 mile race and thats approximately 2/3 or a 5K that's the generic severe college race. in case you do no longer do yet another game for the time of the autumn i highely propose you do XC and persist with it. some human beings drop out because of the fact it relatively is in basic terms too confusing yet often the 1st 2 weeks are the toughest in the beginning because of the fact many persons are out of shape that's why you ought to run over the summer season yet after which you get used to it and you start to do extra and quicker and you dont are conscious of it.

    If you really want to know the exact download speed download internet download manager and set your connections to 16 when downloading.. this will decrease your internet browsing speed while downloading but you'll get exact numbers.

    Or you can download DU meter which will track your internet speed constantly

    Check with your ISPs tech support. Some ISPs shape their traffic. That sounds like what is happening to you
