I don't either. Not sure why. The stats seem to work on all of the speedtest pages. Try »il.speedtest.rcn.net to see your stats. The speed test may be in chicago but stats work still.

I also see the missing bottom half.

Also, the "Report" function is not working.

EDIT: Logging in to the ny.speedtest.rcn.net site from the LV works as it should. Seems like it is only a problem with the pa.speedtest.rcn.net site.

The test works fine but for a few months now, I have not been able to find the MAC address and signal level data that we used to receive after the test. I tried IL, NY, PA.

try rebooting your modem, if it is not snmp queryable(sp?) you wont get levels.

Seems to be working now at 630pm. Both the Levels and Report pages.

Now, if you could fix the Report to indicate Signal/Noise Ratio as dB, and not dBmv......

Power is measured in dBmv, or dBmW, or dBW, or any of such other standards.

Power Ratios are reported in dB!

Don't the forward and return frequencies bother you? I doubt they're really in terahertz.

They changed the units, at least on the PA speed test, but they overdid it. Both the Forward Power Level and the Modem TX Power are now listed in dB also, when in fact they are absolute levels, and so should be relative to some absolute power level, such as dBm (or dBmv for absolute voltage levels) or whatever they use. It is only the ratio of forward signal-to-noise which is dimensionless, and so should be in dB.

An improvement, but not quite.

Forward signal to noise should be dB

Forward power level should be dBm
(But dBmv is OK if that is how you are measuring it. It implies you are measuring voltage into a standard impedance. The power can be calculated from that).
