What's Your Download Speed? - LotusTalk

I just saw a post by Road Dad saying he is currently using a dial up connection.

It made me wonder what kind of speeds others here are using.

Here's my test:

What's yours?

Mr. Know · 10-21-2009, 07:42 PM

I have my doubts that the test is accurate...

MightyMike · 10-21-2009, 07:42 PM

I'm not sure why.

I don't understand why my upload speed is so much slower than everyone else's?!

You know, I just remembered: I just signed up for Carbonite a couple of days ago, and I am still in the middle of my initial upload of my entire hard drive. I wonder if that is effecting my upload test? I bet it is.

Added to the fact that the speedtest.net upload speeds are wildly optimistic...

Is there a speed test that is known as being the most accurate?
