Re: hows fast is this line speed in megs
I think that all these speed tests sites are wrong. The tell me that I am on like 5mbit line, when im on 10mbit. I know this for a fact, for simply downloading off links on the knoppix site or the gamefiles site of blueyonder. I don't think anyone should rely on these speedtest sites as they are hardly reliable.

Re: hows fast is this line speed in megs
Well I think speedtests are highly overated, and all the speed tests you linked to on here give me similar results. Half of the speed tests out there most probably don't support 10mbit connections, and it also comes down to how many people are actually using the speed test at that moment.

Last Result:
Download Speed: 1201 kbps (150.1 KB/sec transfer rate)
Upload Speed: 348 kbps (43.5 KB/sec transfer rate)

1st 512K took 469 ms = 1091.7 KB/sec, approx 8996 Kbps, 8.79 Mbps
2nd 512K took 516 ms = 992.2 KB/sec, approx 8176 Kbps, 7.98 Mbps
3rd 512K took 515 ms = 994.2 KB/sec, approx 8192 Kbps, 8 Mbps
4th 512K took 828 ms = 618.4 KB/sec, approx 5096 Kbps, 4.98 Mbps
Overall Average Speed = approx 7615 Kbps, 7.44 Mbps
So which of these speed tests is right??? answer neither, they are rubbish dont waste your time with them.
Its throughput that matters if u can max out at 1200KB/s on a 10mbit line bingo.

Nah my friend you just can't get over 5Mbit due to contention I try the odd one of these from home and a lot of them happily support 20Mbit and upwards.
