Hi, I ran the same test twice, back to back, and got 17.1mbps and 8.9mbps, only about 30 seconds apart. I could be wrong but I suspect that the reading is accurate and that the connection speed fluctuates. Thanks, Scott Duck

At http://i.dslr.net/iphone_speedtest.htmlmy my download speed measured 660 kbps. At http://www.2wire.com/?p=7 my download speed measured 258 kbps. And at http://testmy.net/upload my download speed measured an impressive 8.7 mbps. What's going on with all these speed tests? I realize that each speed test uses its own propriatary method of testing Internest speeds, but why is there such a huge disparity among the results? Is it possible that none of these speed tests is accurate, and that all such speed tests are bogus? According to Verizon, my current DSL download speed is supposed to be between 768kbps and 1mbps, which will supposedly be upgraded to 3.1 mbps to 7.8 mbps next Tuesday. The result from the IPhone speed test at 660 kbps would seem to be closest to what I'm currently getting, but how can I know for sure whether any of these tests is reliable or accurate?
