So to connect to a ISP in korea they would have to go to all the way to the USA and then back. A over simplification but lets say your ISP is really cheap and they only want to buy 1 undersea fiber connection. In asia and Australia to some extent these work better. In the USA and EU a VPN most times will actually reduce your performance because of the overhead.

There are so called 'gamer' vpn that try to optimize connections to certain locations. You have no ability to affect anything past that.Īs mentioned you can try VPN services. Your only option is to send data to your ISP on the single cable coming to your house. In the end you can do nothing really about this. This is massively hard to figure out since there are multiple connections between ISP and which it takes will be different for servers located in different cities. There might be contention on the connection between some ISP. That is why the ISP wants you to always test with THEIR speedtest server. Generally you get the best performance when the serer is on the same ISP as you. You will find that different servers can be on different ISP networks. Now some of this is related to how different ISP are connected. You will see that the ping time is more or less the same so the server really are located near each other but you get huge difference in performance. Find a city near you on the speedtest site and then change the server manually a few times. You can see speedtest is affected by the server itself just by changing servers within the same city. So, MY internet speed is great, South Koreas is great, but what on earth is going on in between, and can I fix it? Now south korea has the worlds best internet (standard 25mb for residential) I am most interested in south korea (I am a dentist and the only thing I really care about is getting good access to here). But, after that, does it depend on the server I am downloading from? Obviously my internet speed from my computer to somewhere is brilliant, at 95mb. Whistle out (tests australian speed) 95 download, no upload speed I then went to and tested all of the countries listed.

This was from a server somewhere, and the following test results are from a few minutes after the download finished. I just downloaded a 500mb file, at 500kb/s, about 2% of the. Sometimes, when downloading, it is atrociouis. It is a business connections, so it is the most stable, and they will slow down residential people before me.

To test that, could you go to your results history page, being logged out, and then again being logged in to your MyViasat account? You can share some screenshots with us, when you’re logged out the results page should display your local tests.In australia here, and Ihave the best internet I can currently buy (cant get 5g yet) That’s not the case, we developed a new feature that loads the results to our server so we, agents, can also have access to them, prior to that the results were stored locally on the browser.įrom the error you mentioned, it seems that your local results were not successfully sent to our server, which explains the reset you noticed. Is there any other information that you think seems off, apart from your location?Īlso, you mentioned that we reset your history. The thing is it seems the location has changed over time for the same IP, from an old result CSV you sent us I noticed that there are 18 different cities listed for your IP, we are not sure why that’s happening, it seems to be some inconsistency with that third-party service. The city location we get uses a third-party service that captures it from your IP address, and indeed, from your IP it currently detects “Spotsylvania Courthouse”. Hi taking a look at the issues you mentioned to be having with SpeedCheck.įirst, you mentioned that you have seen data that you are not familiar with in your test history.
