I had better speed at DSL reports,but who knows how accurate they are,and it depends on web traffic etc too.

Like you said, Tuffie...depends on the traffic..and it was in Texas

sometimes i think those tests are designed so BB users can pat themselves on the back, and feel good about spending so much frigging money on their internet connection.

i know this, unless i lose my job or something, i'm never going back to dial-up.

I still live in the last millenium. dial-up all the way. I know why everybody got broadband. It's all about P2P and pr0n. If I want to load the CNN.com page faster, I'd rather turn on the TV. Ok, I'm on crack now, do ignore everything I say today.

[Balo]

I certainly agree with and like the results. Thanks for the link.

[AmStoned]

The line in my lab is on crack.

Did it around 4:20 PST

[Tuffie]

I was surprised at this time of day,figured it would drop a lot,glad I was wrong :D
