To try the speed test again, you must empty your temporary
internet files folder and click here
before testing again.
*About
the Speed Test
The
Internet as a whole is affected by limitations on site speeds
and traffic problems. Your cable modem can only transmit data
as fast as the weakest link in the connection. If the site
you are connecting to can only transmit data at a speed of
56 Kbps, that's the maximum speed at which you will be able
to access the site, even though your cable modem is capable
of much faster speeds. If several people are trying to access
that same site at the same time, the total bandwidth available
will be divided between the users, and your speed may be further
reduced.
Your connection speed may also be limited
by your computer's central processing unit (CPU). Some older
CPUs can only process data at a fraction of the speed at which
cable modems are capable of delivering it.
Browsing the Internet at the same time as
you are running the test can also affect your Speed Test results.
Also, other software programs like ad blockers and virus scanners
process content first. Or, if you are on a home network, other
users share the connection with you.
If
you're downloading files directly from Time Warner Cable's
servers, the speed of your connection should be exceptional.
Time Warner Cable's backbone is engineered to provide superior
throughput within our network.
