These results appear to be quite fast - this page could possibly be in your browser cache.

What a useless speedtest site !!!!!

Why do people even bother using this when what it downloads is far too small to test anything ???
As you can see from the results above not very good is it and no it wasn't in my browser cache either

Combine 2-4 Downloads.
Sites seam reluctant to let me a download at 10Mb/s on a single file. but Ive hit over 10Mb/s from multi apple.com HD trailers.
my top 3 in 1080p are WALL.E, Hancock and The curious case of benjamin button trailers.
