When I run a "speed test" on any of the many test sites available, what is it actually measuring? For example...is that speed measured to and from the distant test server to the router on my desk or to and from my point of connection to the ISP? It appears to be referencing the IP address of ATT site here in Austin. Is there a way I can measure the speed to and from my router to the ISP connection rather than to a distant server ? Thanks....Tx
