1st 128K took 144 ms = 910222 Bytes/sec = approx 7573 kbits/sec
2nd 128K took 99 ms = 1323960 Bytes/sec = approx 11015 kbits/sec
3rd 128K took 101 ms = 1297743 Bytes/sec = approx 10797 kbits/sec
4th 128K took 118 ms = 1110780 Bytes/sec = approx 9242 kbits/sec

These results appear to be rather fast: maybe this page was in the browser cache.

That is old technology taken from the Robin Walker pages and has not been updated for about 5 years and usually gives silly results as above.

If you call into Tech Support the only speed test accepted is the one I posted above.
