I've tested my download speed on testmy.net and here are the results:
:::.. Download Stats ..:::
Connection is:: 6087 Kbps about 6.1 Mbps (tested with 5983 kB)
Download Speed is:: 743 kB/s
Tested From:: https://testmy.net (server1)
Test Time:: Sat Feb 18 2006 11:47:42 GMT-0500 (Eastern Standard Time)
Bottom Line:: 109X faster than 56K 1MB download in 1.38 sec
Diagnosis: Awesome! 20% + : 27.53 % faster than the average for host (Comcast.net)
Validation Link:: https://testmy.net/stats/id-NZG73EULY
However, when i try to download something off of another site, let's say, download.com, I only get speeds around 50 kB/s. Is there anyway to correct this?
