Hi folks,

Just wanted to thank you for the feedback and suggestions. And give an FYI that the URL deep-linking, separate upload loaded latency requests have been accepted (as also previously mentioned by others) and will be worked on, likely this quarter.
Others - like graphs of historical measurements, splits/breakdowns - are interesting and I clearly see the use for the advanced users (including myself), but will require more thought to productize.

Hi Rich,  good suggestion, seconded!

Hopefully Sergey can have this incorporated when they make the updates for a URL that triggers a full featured test from the beginning.

Cheers,

Jonathan

A request to Sergey,

As a long-time lurker on this list, I lament the passing of DSLReports, and applaud Netflix for incorporating latency measurements into its Fast.com page.

However, I have always been vaguely unsettled that "Show more info" displays a single latency value for the two separate "processes" - downloading and uploading - and the fact that uploading seems to overwrite the download value. 

I imagine that you have already considered this but I have come to realize that simply displaying separate values for these latencies would address my unease - something along the lines of this photoshopped screen shot.

Thanks again for providing the Fast.com service - it's useful for me every day.

PS Yes, my DSL download speed really is < 1mbps today. Dratted ISP...
