Beth,
Am I making too much of this? ------------------------------------------------------ * * *From:* Rick Gunderson [mailto:r...@kywifi.com] *Sent:* Saturday, January 08, 2011 1:06 AM *To:* 'Beth Allen' *Subject:* RE: Your Speed Test Results Believe me, I understand speed tests, and sure, I do speed tests of 30+Mbps all the time. But that’s the point. The speedmaters.org website is proposing that the “The U.S. ranks 25th in the world in average Internet connection speeds.” Is this statement based upon these test servers?

I'm not sure what might be causing the lower reported speed in your case. We regularly have tests that come through as 100Mbps or more (mostly from research institutions). Your distance from the testing server could be a factor. We use the same technology as speedtest.net, but fewer servers due to cost constraints. You might try their site to see if you get a different result.

It appears your tests are highly inaccurate. What’s the deal? Rick Gunderson On Fri, Jan 7, 2011 at 2:10 PM, Robert West <robert.w...@just-micro.com>wrote: > Yep. Communications Workers of America.
