Many ISPs prioritize speedtest.net traffic. Try something more realistic, like uploading a 100MB video to YouTube.

Man, the US really is the third world when it comes to bandwidth. The invisible hand is giving us a spanking!

LOL to that .
I'm in socialist Europe, it's ILLEGAL for them to mess with the tubes of  Al Goretex's Internets..
Do you want to know how much they charge me for this ? :)

Here in socialist Northern Europe we have laws stipulating that everybody should have access to high-speed internet connections
by some year in the not to distant future. And the ISP's are 'stimulated' to make it happen by nice tax-writeoffs or just by plain old government subsidiaries. Amassing what you can afford if you don't have military 'bases' in 160 countries, isn't it ?
