That site is not a real speed testing site. It is under reporting speeds to acquire customers.

Try this one instead:

When I use the site Bob posted I get 2.6
In the four years I've used my current ISP I have routinely tested my speed on various other sites and I am always above 12Mb/s.

So its measuring how fast a page can load from its site... Not an actual measure of connection speed.

Big difference.

If you receive inconsistent results, such as a high number then a low number, you may be experiencing a problem with your connection.

yeah, like 4 other users on my network? [Smile]
