lol internet 'speed tests' dont really mean shit anyway.. its way to easy to get numbers that are totally different from each other..

on that particular site.. each time i do it.. my down is different by 2 or 3 thousand..
its telling me on the average about 8000-10000 down and 800-1000 up


tho most ppl.. think thats actual download/upload speeds... but they dont know theres a big difference between kb (kilobits - network rate) and kB (kiloBytes - transfer rate)... i think its something like kilobits * 0.122 = kiloBytes (or kiloBytes / 0.122 = kilobits)

my actual transfer speeds are about 1200kBps (oddly enough tho, newsgroups report speeds over 2mBps sometimes) down & 120kBps up... which works out to like 9836kbps down and 983kbps up
