I did the speed test and it said 1.17 mbps D/L and .21 mbps u/l on my old MBP via external drive and 1.1 mb d/l and .14 upload on my new MBP so the old one is still faster. The average for my ISP in the boonies via microwave is supposed to be 768 kbps D/L and 256 kbps U/L. It looks like I'm getting more than I was promised.
I also can't tell by the speetest if it's my computer or the internet. What am I looking for?
I have my new MBP next to my old one because I want to transfer things but not via migration. The old one is definitely faster than the new one by several seconds. I don't know if that could be because I'm using the external drive or not, but my new one seems pokey. Maybe after I get some cache in there, etc., it will be faster.
Any time something like that happens to me, the first thing I do is run
Speedtest by OOKLA to determine if the slowdown is in the computer or the internet. It is almost always the internet.
