However, that is just one of 3 measurements I took, quickly following one another, and the readings were wildly different for all of them. So I'm not putting too much stock in this 'speedtest'.
At least the gravedigger wasn't sigspamming, so that's good

The bloody sad thing is that where I am I still don't get close to the original poster's 6-year old broadband speeds. Just eeking out a miserable broadband existence on 1mbps down, maybe, maybe 256+kbps up. ~Signed, someone somewhere in Asia (not cool like Korea with superfast Internet thingies)~ We have Macs here dammit! We're not that backward...

If it makes you feel any better, I'm getting about the same now as I did 6 years ago. The reason has more to do with the building I live in than anything else though. 100M (advertised) connections are currently all over the city for less than I was paying way back when. But my building is small, so they don't offer it here, and I'm stuck with 8M max.
