Of course they would. Do they prioritize the url of the common tests?

Wouldn't be hard to do.

I absolutely detest speed tests. The only good use is to see if your connection is around what they say it should be. People try to use it as a troubleshooting tool, and it is not good for that. Drives me nuts.

Is there an accurate way to test speeds?

Wow. Not even a Dollar General?

Oh yeah forgot about the DG and a small grocery. We also have the big two dealerships, John Deere and CIH, we are bank rich at 5 also a hospital. Warren county might be turning into a booming metropolis.

West side of Benton county, to my north is pretty darn sparse, Benton has no hospital but several eating places, a Subway, Caseys and a stop light.

Benton school system is the largest area wise in the state, 75 square miles I think. Mile north of me is the school system line, kids a mile north and a mile east had a 25 mi trip to school, one way. If you took it to the max (there is and never will be any houses there) it would be over 30 mi one way to school.

Not a good one. A really big file transfer from a large website is probably the best. The issue is, any transfer is dependent upon both ends of the connecting, plus the whole Internet in between. Then you add in that most devices are not capable of pushing really fast transfers.

Really fast connections are about two things in my mind, having a lot of devices pulling a lot of data at the same time, and faster response time. Realize that in networking a connection is not a pipe, although a lot of time it is referred to as one. It is a conveyor with a bunch of slots. Those slots move faster as the interface speed increases. 100Mb is 10X faster than 10Mb. 1Gb is 10X faster than 100Mb.

Oh, another thing to note. Using a VPN will decrease your throughput, probably a lot. A user device is not capable of encrypting and decrypting traffic fast enough to keep up with these fast connection speeds.

Always laugh when people talk about being rural
Only county in Indiana without a stoplight, no fast food, currently no real sit down family restaurant's, 4 gas stations and a couple bars with food
North of me is 6 houses in 8 miles, I could have an artillery range

Moving here to SD I had to reevaluate my understanding of rural lol.

I drove across your county the first time we went to see the boy kid in Kansas City a couple years ago.

Let's not get carried away.

I have since refined my route to bypass it completely. Nothin personal.

41/63 is a pretty lonely highway
Not too many bathroom breaks from Lowell to Terre haute

City folk.

A lonely highway IS a bathroom break!

You have to understand that once you leave the local isp where ever that is, you are subject to traffic outside the realm of what your isp can control. Most isps use ookla and they lay beyond the local network. To have a speed test that is relevant to your isp, they must provide the test server on their network and you must be able to reach it without leaving the network. Also the test pipe must be large enough to not provide a bottleneck due to high volume testing.

Magyars only included European ancestry history in his post. I stand by it being a white history point of view. No matter what area of Europe they were from their history was written by whites.

"was written by whites."
^^^ Yes, due to the fact that AT THAT TIME=Only Whites knew how to write.

Nolte: Rural Trumpers Already Live in Tolerant Utopia Leftists Want

Life in Rural America (which is where Republican Trump voters live and govern), is clean, safe and racially tolerant.

Facts?
The Left doesn't want facts

Not quite. Unless you're only referring to whites and Am. Indians.

Makes you wonder if the book wasn't written to scare people into staying in the cities.

But there a lot of windmills And a town that is the “hub of the universe”.

Drive there almost every day for the last 22 years. Could live without the windmills

Before my MIL died, we used to drive up that way often to visit her on Michigan City. Way before that, when my wife and I were dating, I used to drive it almost every weekend to see her. She lived in Wanatah.

Nobody knows what rural is until they get into the hills of north eastern kentucky to west virginia.

I felt more like I was in a different country than I did when I went to the UK. And I'm used to living rural enough that I have to drive 30 miles to get to a grocery store.

That's better than the wasteland that is West Texas.
