Type: Integer
Default value: 0 (defaults to use Original testing method)
Set this property to indicate whether BrowserHawk uses the Original (default) or Progressive testing method when measuring the user's download connection speed.
The Progressive testing method was introduced starting in BrowserHawk 12. It is a smart, dynamic test that provides very accurate results and also returns a latency measurement. The Original method is the default testing method, which BrowserHawk has used since it was first released. The Progressive method provides greater accuracy and control over the test than the Original method, however it uses more bandwidth, which could impact your fees charged by your hosting provider (see link below).
For a detailed discussion on this topic please see Progressive Versus Original Speed Test.
Note: The Progressive and Original methods for line speed testing apply only to measuring the download connection speed via the ConnectionSpeed and ConnectionLatency properties. These methods do not apply when measuring the upload connection speed via the UploadConnectionSpeed and UploadConnectionLatency properties. Likewise if you wish to only use the Original method, there is no need to set this property, as it is the default method.
Note: If setting this property, you must do so prior to calling the GetExtendedBrowser method.
