What are your results?
And to generate some discussion; what ISP do you use? What do you like/dislike about them? Would you rather be using a different ISP?
Here's my results on a wireless connection:
I'll see if I can get a result image posted when I'm on a wired connection a bit later. 
Currently I'm using Rogers, and apart from them messing around with FF's server status error pages (404, 403, 401, 500, etc.) they're great.  | |

I don't think that's bad when I am using a wireless internet which I can SWEAR to you three of my neighbors are leeching right now (I pay for the connection, they just use mine. >_>) I'm trying to get the company to come down and fix the damn wiring then I'll test again.
I forget my exact ISP, but when the landline works it's freaken amazing. I can game with nearly over 400 fps on WoW. Their wireless service I hate when other people leech it and it constantly crashes. They won't help me make it a password protected network so I kind of hate that.
But their landline I love it. Freaken awesome hardly ever a problem unless all the customers in the company are getting it. Hmm...my image says I use SBC Internet. o_O. I pay Brighthouse for it oddly...xD | |

pmwwwgtalkvForum | | Re: Your Internet Speed (9th Aug 08 at 11:40pm UTC) | | Your wireless is a lot faster than my wired connection according to that   But then I know Virgins broadband is pretty poor, unfortunately I have little choice but to use them. I'll see if I can test it from work tomorrow Monday as we (normally) get pretty decent speeds there (not great but better than I have here  )

Three of my neighbours are using my internet as well, but only because they help pay for it. We simply share the password.
To password protect your wireless network, go to either http://192.168.1.1 or http://192.168.0.1 depending on how your network is setup, and enter the default username/password (generally both "admin"), and get things setup there. | |

Thats the fastest internet connection in Australia, sheesh! Shows how our old Prime Minister hated the internet so much - he thought it was like 100% porn and in no way effective, glad he is gone now!
Kevin promises to improve our internet by 10 fold to actually bring us up onto a world stage instead of lagging behind everyone.
Sucks playing games, as most gaming servers are hosted in America - For Ash: When I played WoW, my ping was constantly 600ms, that's considered pretty good for any Aussie. Bit unfair when your a mage in battlegrounds and a rogue is standing out of range of your spells (40 yards!) but still managing to backstab you... | |

pmwww | | Re: Your Internet Speed (10th Aug 08 at 1:12am UTC) | | Here's mine at home:
So yeah, I'm on Rogers as well, and I'm on a wired connection. I think I tested before on wireless and it wasn't that different...
Yeah, same. I wish they wouldn't insert their own 404 pages. Even if I disable it, the thing does a horrible job of faking it anyway
This however, is what I get in my university residence, which I will be going back to in september (different residence, but still that network):
Amazing speeds, but there's some pretty restrictive bandwidth limits that I can usually live with but some others can't because they download too much | |

pmwww | | Re: Your Internet Speed (10th Aug 08 at 3:56am UTC) | | Changing your settings in no way requires you to buy a new one...at most you'd need to hit the reset button on the router itself; something I believe most routers are required to have. 
@ Frufru: Well obviously UW will have amazingly fast speeds, they have a giant fiber-optic network that caters to those attending the premier university in the world's Technology Triangle.
Sucks that they have a bandwidth cap though; I'm pretty sure Rogers' bandwidth cap is far out of reach, even for me and my neighbours all sharing a connection. | |

I don't know much about computers, so don't know if my connection is good or not. =P | |

My internet is usually very fast. I can only imagine running this on my grandparents dial up connection. The site speedtest.net probably wouldn't even load. | |

That is with my provider's 500 package. If I would have done it at a friends house, their numbers would be lower because they only have the 100 package. | |

I like my connection, I think it was better where I lived previously, but it's nice here. | |

My mom lowered our internet to the lowest speed, because we could not afford the highest speed. we did have over 1000. | |
