losing a good 100Kbs there but since the test server is in the states and it's kind during business time here I put it down to congenstion [img]style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/smile.gif[/img]

Some of these figures simply don't add up!

Example:

98.32Kbs = 9.83KBs basically described as a 100K connection. (probably 120K)

468.4Kbs = 46.84KBs basically described as a 460K connection. (actually 576K)

4.141 Mbps = 4141Kbs basically would equate to a 4-megabit connection.
(530.04 KBps) = 5300Kbs which would equate to a 5-megabit connection.

171.19 KBps = 1710Kbs basically a 2-megabit connection.

7.672 Mbps = 7672Kbs basically an 8-megabit connection.
(982 KBps) = 9820Kbs basically a 10-megabit connection.

Now either that tester is fupped up or some of you actually do have T1 lines and T3 lines fitted to your homes :wow

Also I ran that test many times and the results were very inconsistant.

If you wish to do a more thourough test, download Si Soft Sandra and run the Internet connection and Peerage tests, that also compares them to other connection types.
