To Curious George, my guess is that your ISP is not emptying the Master cache as often as they should. Empty your own cache first. Then you can try to empty the DNS cache from the DOS prompt with " ipconfig/flushdns ". Then do another ping testx9200 wrote:Interesting. One of my web servers is hosted in Dallas... I just ran the test from my eeepc, 4 walls and 10m from the router and the Dallas server even did not show on the list. At the same time this is what I get doing the test myself to "my" server in Dallas:
100 packets transmitted, 100 received, 0% packet loss, time 103388ms
rtt min/avg/max/mdev = 226.813/254.990/1788.849/163.949 ms, pipe 2
and your results show almost 80% loss to that location. I am with starhab, very basic plan.
Yes you are quite right though curious George if he is a heavy user, will clog his pipe work before the ISP's empty their cache. I noticed that I suffered the same problem, though 12 to 14 hrs a day surfing is well above the average user usage, so when packets are dropped, it maybe a blockage only he is having or the quality and/or setup of the router he's using I had an out of date router before I upgraded to optic fiber. The scenario is the two year contract packages on broadband are normally packaged with inferior or outdated hardware.sundaymorningstaple wrote:ksl, I'm curious. Will that give you a faster result? If yes, then it's might be considered a false positive yeah?
I mean, if you base your analysis on the fastest results being made possible by all types of cleaning, then each time you go to another page, you should clean out your cache, correct? I would think you should only do speed tests in the normal operating conditions and not some lightened stripped down vehicle that is solely to be used for time trials and not general surfing.
Of course, if you are looking for bragging rights or promotional sales materials like Starhub and Singtel, then the false positives are great but not practicable, at least from my POV.
