This is sort of a black art.  Depending on which online service is
providing the test, I've seen my upload and download speeds vary by more
than two orders of magnitude.  Further, since pretty much all cable ISPs
were at one point in league with the Devil before finally usurping
Lucifer's throne, I can't even rely on the vague promises made by their
tech support imps and balseraphs.

This isn't to say there's no point in what you're doing -- I think
there's a lot of merit to it! -- but if we all use a different service
we're going to introduce an awful lot of statistical noise.  Is there
any particular bandwidth capacity test that you would prefer we use?
