Do not ever rely on speed test sites. They are often very wrong.

For example look at this screen shot. There is about 1 minute between the speedtest result shown and the download from usenet. They are not running at the same time.
The speedtest shows a **** poor speed but look in the top corner of the image and you will see the true download speed i am getting from giganews, 2.6mbps. This is slightly above 20meg.
As you can see there is a massive difference between what these sites report and what is often your true speed.

I am not denying there may be real issues with the service but there are many people that complain when speedtest sites show false speeds and in my experience Speedtest.Net is a regular offender!
