Now that's what I call an odd result for a 33.6k modem. Very asymmetric :)

Here are my numbers>
1180/217 and a 144 transfer rate.
Not really sure what all this means.
How do my numbers look? I'm assuming the higher numbers are better. Should i try and tweak to get better speeds? Thanks.

SWEET!!

It all depends on where YOU are and how the net traffic around you gets routed. Seriously. But you all knew that already.

This site has 98 links. Pick ten or so and check the same ones all the time. You'll find screaming connections to some, and crappy connections to others.

www.dslreports.com also uses speakeasy's speed test, and it also has some good tools for broadband users.
