Now wth does it mean?

I guess that's good.

What it does is test the quality of your line, and your ping. Try a server on the other side of the world and it all goes to pot...

I will show the norwegian low net speed.. evil.gif

I like it... 8)
But i am disappointed they dont have a server at NTNU, they host Ubuntu there, but no go for speedtests...
And that map doesnt show correct location, im not on the west coast.. (Not talking about USA, Norway.)
But yth does it lag on closeby servers on Halo? ohmy.gif
Still, this is just the phone-network.
The digital net (Not going through same line as phonecalls..) has triple speed. (10Mb/s vs 3Mb/s..)

Kinda useless if you ask me.

Is A the highest grade or is there also A+?

By the looks of it, when connecting to somewhere within 100 miles, your average ping (or latency) is 33. With a range of 22-44 ping (11 jitter). Your Internet Service Provider is Virgin Media, and none of the data transferred is lost (0% packet loss). The server you connected to was in Dublin. I have no idea what the MOS is though, I think it has to do with a grading scale. The 2.9/5 is how other people have ranked that ISP.

I'm guessing this is pretty good tongue.gif

My server is in Germantown, Wisconsin? ohmy.gif

It's proportional though. They factor in distance, like they did to the person below:

We both got 4.39, but he has higher ping and jitter figures than I do.

QUOTE (FAQ)
4.What is MOS and how do you calculate it?
The Mean Opinion Score (MOS) is an indication of the quality of a voice conversation. The MOS ranges from 1 to 5 with 1 being the worst and 5 being the best. The MOS is usually a subjective test where listeners rate sound quality. Pingtest.net uses an algorithm based on the three test components to estimate the MOS that would be typically obtained by a connection with these results.


If anyone, I think Fini wins seeing as he has a tiny Jitter making his Ping range only 7-11.
Caboose
I had the same Jitter!

Yeah, I realized that my logic made no sense immediately after I posted it.
Caboose
Yeah, Red had the lowest Jitter...

What can I say?


Well...I could say that I have no idea how jitter affects anything and as long as people's ping is below 50 there isn't really any problem. tongue.gif

If I want to know my ping I just go play halo.

How many people are from Milton Keynes? tongue.gif
error404
My server is Milton Kenyes but I live in Leeds so meh.
Caboose
Haha, my server is Coventry but i live in Newcastle biggrin.gif
Spirit Shield
My server is Milton Keynes but I live in Aberystwyth. Meh.
Real
Not bad, eh?



Mine's Milton Keynes too. I guess I don't live that far away.

B*, apparently.
Caboose
I think that's B with a footnote, it couldn't test packet loss.
error404
So what can I do to improve my ping and reduce my packet loss?
Caboose
Either change ISP or get BT or the goverment to change your phone lines.
error404

This is the test on my other laptop with t mobile dongle, still not satisfactory, my F laptop is a dongle as well, I might test my desktop afterwards because that is super fast.
Caboose
Wait, why has your ISP changed? I hope you're not piggybacking...
error404
1: I am using a different laptop
2: Different provider (t-mobile)
3: Different place
John_And_Edward


What did this say. aware.gif
error404
Well your better than my F BUT You have no packet loss which is good, your jitter is high which is not good as your ping varies a lot and your ping is very high which is bad as well.
Cattius


Not bad for a wireless connection I guess tongue.gif

EDIT: W00t it improved tongue.gif

Dwarrior

Meh.

Meh.

That is awesome, wish I had that instead of the F I got. Seriously that is super.
Poke
You thought error's was bad...

Wow, my internet is crap.


I live nowhere near bloody coventry, lol at my packet loss.
error404
Poke: Although your Ping is much higher/worse than mine your jitter is higher which means it varies a little so some days it might be better than other, myjitter is at one so it doesn't vary and it is always bad.

My packet loss is 90% as well.
redmonke
Us people living in AMERICA don't have to worry about getting Fs.


(does not include Kansas or Utah)

Or Alaska...

Governor Palin has done miracles for the Alaskan Internet services.
