Ok ...Im not sure in the speed readings..BUT I think mine is pretty good..
1.7 megabits per second
Run the test again Discuss in the forum
Details
Your raw speed was 1691522.18 bits per second which is the same as:
Communications
1.7 megabits per second
How communication devices are rated. Kilo means 1,000 and mega means 1,000,000. Examples include 56k modem and 10Mbit Ethernet
Storage
206.5 kilobytes per second
The way data is measured on your hard drive and how file sharing and FTP programs measure transfer speeds. Kilo is 1,024 and mega is 1,048,576.
1MB file download
5 seconds
The time it would take you to download a 1 megabyte file at this speed.
Rating
Compared to all connection types worldwide, yours is fantastic
On a bar graph it showed mine was faster than T1..
Is this any good?

I hate to tell you guys but all those test sites are pointless.
It measures how fast you are from THAT site to YOUR computer on that exact time/date/whatever.
I'll tell you what, I'll put up a "test site" page here on my LAN in my house... I'll get probably 75+ Megabit/second... Does that mean I have a 75 Mbs connection to anywhere else? Nope.
A more valid way to test your connectivity would be to hit a test site on every major provider's backbone at the same time and average the results...
UUNET, Sprint, Level3, Qwest, etc etc.
This would really tell you if you've got a sweet setup.
