How did this even make it on /.??? Your INTERNET speeds are based on _TWO_ things. The speed of your connection, and the speed of the slowest pipe to your destination. No matter who your provider is, ALWAYS use the speed test site provided by your provider! 3rd party speed test only tell you how fast you can get data to and from THEM! If they are overloaded your speeds will look like !sht.
If you have a DOCSIS based connection and you have slow speeds to your providers speed test site. Check for packet-loss! As little as 2-3% packet-loss will greatly reduce your speeds. Anything more then 1% packet-loss is a sign of a problem.
I could go on forever but this topic shouldn't even be on /.
