- Tests run over cable, check whether the household is using the line, and take the middle of five simultaneous server results.
Field notes
The site describes a wired device that checks whether the household is using the line before each hourly test, then samples five servers at once and uses their middle result. Its sample report covers a Manhattan cable line from Aug. 16 to Sept. 6, 2026, and reports a 210 Mbps median against a 600 Mbps advertised plan; the page says the same unit reached 900 Mbps on a faster line elsewhere.
