Can I offer an observation which I have noticed today which may, or may not, help those that are not seeing full speeds on test. I have both IE6 and Firefox 3.0..10. on my PC. Using speedtest.net I am constantly showing results of 5-6mb in IE6. Using Firefox I am always getting more than 9.5mb, and sometime going over 10.
I do not pretend to understand if there is a valid reason for these results, maybe there is a difference in the way the browsers work? Perhaps one of the more technical members may be able to explain.
Perhaps something else to try for those that think they are not getting the speeds they should?
