Hi All,
A sidebar to the speedtest.net Internet speed testing site. The technician
that was here at the house yesterday told me that he preferred to use
www.speakeasy.net over www.speedtest.net because the speed test.net site
consistently shows slower speed tests than other speed test sites. He
showed me the comparisons and the download speed was faster on the speak
easy.net site by around 4 meg but, that was yesterday. Today I ran a test
and the speed tests were pretty close. The upload tests were virtually the
same. He also told me that speed test.net tests were slower because the
testing areas used were much broader than other testing sites. Now, having
said all of this, this is only 1 technicians opinion. Just thought I would
share what was said. Take care.
Mike

Hi,
I just tried a simple speed test with this site with flash enabled and it
works great. I'll have to keep that address for future reference.

Hi Dave,
The speed test site we were talking about is below.
www.speedtest.net
Remember you will need your flash player turned on to use the site. Take
care.

Interesting comment about the accessibility on which you performed the
speed test. However, I do not recall seeing the URL address for the speed
test site. Please provide the list with the URL address.
Sincerely:
Dave Durber

You'll have to press enter on begin test button. Then you'll be able to
get the results of the test you've just had. I hope that this helps. I'm
legally blind myself and i've just completed the test. Things are a little
different but it works. The only thing is that you can change settings that
you need to. You should have no problems with the test. I hope that this
helps.

Hi All,
Would someone please provide the list with 1 or more Internet speed
test sites that are totally accessible to Jaws users. Both the sites that
were provided to us by our Internet provider are only accessible to the
sighted. A totally blind person needs sighted asisstance. The 2 speed test
sites that our provider gave us are below in case someone knows how to
access these sites and would be so kind as to explain how they do it.
www.speedtest.net
www.speakeasy.net
All help will be greatly appreciated. Thanks much. Take care.
Mike
