Man that sucks! They said I was only doing 2.3Mbps and too jerky
for VoIP service!

Use the Flash tester at Speakeasy from lots of places across the
country.
http://www.speakeasy.net/speedtest/
Speakeasy uses a LARGE file for the test, bypassing any ISP pulse
of data from some trick. The speeds Speakeasy shows are
SUSTAINED, not peak speeds...a true characterization of your
speed.

Here's my results on the SAME system from Speakeasy's Atlanta
hub:
Last Result:
Download Speed: 7373 kbps (921.6 KB/sec transfer rate)
Upload Speed: 349 kbps (43.6 KB/sec transfer rate)
There's 4 people connected to my Skype supernode, during this
test, but they hardly use any bandwidth like Grabit downloading
from Usenet does.

Seattle is as far from me as Speakeasy tests. It only showed:
Last Result:
Download Speed: 3037 kbps (379.6 KB/sec transfer rate)
Upload Speed: 310 kbps (38.8 KB/sec transfer rate)
at this moment's net loading. My ISP head end is in Atlanta, so
that shows what Knology does to the head end of the net at
7.3Mbps.

Your URL must be on the west coast to get only 2.3Mbps down to
me. It reads way slow, giving a false report of your true speed.

you're downloads threaten their networks......
.....are testing 100Gbps TV to sell on the SAME systems?
