Hey! I was just checking my internet connection and my results from speedtest are always ~9mbps download and ~1mbps upload.
I have a 10mb broadband connection.
About a year ago, I found a formula on how to calculate the maximum download and upload speed with any connection but I cannot find it now. I know that my maximum download speed is 1.1mbps (never exceeds that number when downloading something)
My question is does anybody know the formula for calculating maximum download speed? And why do those speedtest websites show incorrect results?
EDIT: What a coincidence. Just found it.
Find out your internet connection speed, multiply that speed by 1.048576, divide by 8 and you will have your maximum download speed. Mine is 1.17mbps, but why doesn't the speedtest show that?
