You may have wanted to mention to anyone that hasn't managed to get java working yet (not really hard) that this test requires java applets. > My 1.5Mb (1500kbps) DSL gets about 1278 kbps down, 214 kbps up > on a good day. I get about twice those values on average. Shaw "High Speed XTreme" cable. Around $31.00/month Canadian. Think x.7523 to convert to U.S currency at today's close, or $23.32 U.S. converted. For those that don't have, haven't been able to get java working, or don't want to; try the "speed test" at numion. It tests your connection to various web sites nationally or internationally. The URL is: http://www.numion.com/ You can also test your website if you like.
