Hello testmy.net. I really love your site and I use it all the time because it really is the most accurate way to tell my current speed.
But I have some problems. I have Verizon Fios 25/25 speeds and, well, I get quite different numbers when I test through your site.

It's the upload that is a serious problem. I don't know why it's so slow. On every other flash based speed test they show me getting the same download but good upload speed. Now I've tried bringing out TWO verizon techs to my home, they see these flash based tests, say everything is fine, I let them know about how testmy.net is more accurate but they dismiss it and say there's nothing they can do.
Here are my speakeasy results.
Your Speed Result: Download Speed: 30900 kbps (3862.5 KB/sec transfer rate) Upload Speed: 26035 kbps (3254.4 KB/sec transfer rate) I try to stream alot to twitch.tv and I do NOT get those numbers when I stream. They are more akin to what I get on testmy.net.
My question is WHY are the numbers so different. This makes no sense. It's frustrating beyond belief!
