after I noticed it today, I immediately ran speedtest.net and it was getting 33 down and about 5 up
Be sure to enable multithreaded mode on that site. Going from Dallas TX to FL it only reported just under 10mbps consistently. When I enabled multithreaded mode, it reported 25.7mbps which is around my advertised connection speed.Sounds like your speed is ok then,I still recommend checking out test my net though.It's really through.You should try rebooting everything as well.What device/s are you using for dishanywhere?
Compare the 3 sites: test my net, speedtest.net and speakeasy.net/speedtest and see how they all compare. The last 2 for me have been relatively consistent on my connection.You may be right,I have had more accurate results with it than speedtest though.Speedtest seems to run on the high side when compared to my real world d/load speeds.

That's why I mentioned using multi-threaded mode. Any single download will only be as fast as the slowest connection (and most bandwidth-choked connection) in the chain from the source to the destination. Selecting different source locations at different times will give varying results. Interesting Test My Net doesn't allow a choice on selecting a source. Multi-threading (downloding/uploading to/from multiple locations simultaneously) gives a more accurate measure of the capacity of your end of the connection (router/modem/ISP), which could also vary by time if more users are using bandwidth at one time vs. another.I have,plus charter speedtest,which by no coincidence I'm sure,is always the fastest.Speedtest is always the second fastest.When d/loading large files I average around 15-18 Mbps,which is pretty consistent with what testmynet shows.I very rarely get 20Mbps or more,which is typically what speedtest shows my speed as.In reality they all should be reasonably close,but they aren't.

?:upI would be remiss if I didn't point out that when downloading files your results will only be as fast as the slowest link in the path.
anyone have any idea why all my other apps run great except my dish anywhere app? it cuts in and out as if i'm on dialup service, yet netflix, skype and others run great.
any tips?

Also, I should point out that when I enabled multi-threading on Test My Net, it reported numbers consistent with the other 2 sites for me.
Teehar,

Are you streaming to a device within your home wireless network? If so then your upload/download speeds do not matter as it is all kept within your own network.
If outside your network then your biggest issue is probably on the upload speed of your network.
