strange...

your download speeds got faster as you went farther away.

I have a feeling this test isn't very reliable... My results:

I have a 4 Mbit download / 512 kbit upload connection.

i have a feeling a lot of it is dictated by the speed of the server you're connecting to.

which is why in reality this sort of testing becomes useless. It doesn't matter if you're on a university server that will do 90Mb/s or a 1.5Mb/s DSL line, many websites aren't going to be able to send it to you anywhere near your max speed.

Of course if you're downloading something from a server that will deliver at high speed (I just downloaded something from apple.com at 2.5-3Mb/s) then it will make a difference.

For kicks, I also picked one in Canada.

So after talking to my buddy at our IT service it seems that ISPs are going to be using a new system of some kind (I do not pretend to understand it fully) that will offer the potential for 800Mbps!!!

To fully see the capacity of their networks most providers have taken off the caps on thier speed so the 40,000 Kps speeds just may be correct.

Yup. The FCC has already decided that Comcast capping speed for no reason is a no-no. They're considering whether or not to penalize them. Either way, it's a big victory for net neutrality.

maybe this isn't so far fetched. I'm with Time Warner Road Runner Cable at the 1.5 down 384up price and...
