How Fast Is Your Internet Connection? Test It.

I get different results at different servers across the map. I check with Toronto and my download was 7361 kb/s. Big difference if you ask me.

I feel like my connection is pretty fast, but I'm sure some of yours will be off the map.

Peace,
Joe

What are these 12,000 k numbers????

Most DSL lines you get are at 1.5M which is 1500k.

How are you guys getting 12M at your home?
