The obsession with speed-tests reminds me of my CB days when everyone was obsessed with signal strength and used to spend more time doing tests than actually using the CB to talk about non-CB related topics. Personally, the two private trackers I use max my 20meg any day or night and usenet gets pretty close too. Those are my two main download sources and if they are working 100% then I couldn't care less what a speed-test says, I mean that's the point, it's not about e-penis waving, it's about actually downloading quick enough to justify the price you're paying.
