You do all know, those tests are useless right? Bandwidth tests are crap and utterly useless. It's how they can get you in a loophole when the tech comes out to test your line. It meets up to thier claimed speed, yet, ACTUAL browsing and file transferring speed is different.

That may not be "absolute proof" but it's damn well close enough.

Actual browsing speed and bandwidth are two totally different monsters. I can do a bandwidth test right now, and it's up to nearly up to spec with what Clearwire quotes...up to 1.5 Mbps. I'll get somewhere around a 1300 result, with a max upload as quoted by clearwire...

In reality, I'll see MAYBE 150 Kbps transfer speed of a file from a server I know is DAMN WELL more than capable of 10 Mbps. I know this because I'll sit on my friends computer right next to me on his cable service he has at 8Mbps and DL the same file at nearly 8Mbps. There is a difference. Trust me. I've been fighting this war with Clearwire for the past year...

Alot slower than many of you, but then I only pay $20/mo. Good deal, I think. [SBC Yahoo! DSL]

Meh, not too bad...but i heard somewhere that roadrunner is increasing their download speeds, so maybe it will go up soon.

I'm on 100mbit internet...from my kind and caring university. Download isn't that special, but I do have a quite decent upload

I ran several tests, quite big difference between servers...

Here's the Tower of Power. Still over the wireless network. Hmm, not too bad for the "triple play" time warner 6M package, just about right.
