What does that mean in English?

You're all so tall! I'm 5'5" and I'm a 16 year old male. : (

Wee I'm so happy. I just woke up and the first thing I do is run a download test. I haven't even called my ISP yet, and here are my results! BEFORE (at the time of my first post) 80 kB/s NOW :::::::::::::::::.. Download Stats ..::::::::::::::::: Download Connection is:: 1332 Kbps about 1.33 Mbps (tested with 2992 kB) Download Speed is:: 163 kB/s Tested From:: https://testmy.net/ (Server 1) Test Time:: 2006/07/05 - 1:02pm Bottom Line:: 23X faster than 56K 1MB Download in 6.28 sec Tested from a 2992 kB file and took 18.406 seconds to complete Download Diagnosis:: May need help : running at only 65.91 % of your hosts average (pacbell.net) D-Validation Link:: https://testmy.net/stats/id-6ZHK2WXBJ User Agent:: Mozilla/4.0 (compatible; MSIE 6.0; Windows NT 5.1; SV1; InfoPath.1) :::::::::::::::::.. Upload Stats ..::::::::::::::::: Upload Connection is:: 339 Kbps about 0.34 Mbps (tested with 2992 kB) Upload Speed is:: 41 kB/s Tested From:: https://testmy.net/ (Server 1) Test Time:: 2006/07/05 - 1:05pm Bottom Line:: 6X faster than 56K 1MB Upload in 24.98 sec Tested from a 2992 kB file and took 72.26976 seconds to complete Upload Diagnosis:: Looks Great : 7.62 % faster than the average for host (pacbell.net) U-Validation Link:: https://testmy.net/stats/id-BTE58Q36K User Agent:: Mozilla/4.0 (compatible; MSIE 6.0; Windows NT 5.1; SV1; InfoPath.1) I guess it got fixed by itself. : ) EDIT: And yes I did clear the cache and all. My dl speeds have increased dramatically, but it is jumpy still... After completing over 5 tests, I noticed that it can range from 155-170 kB/s. I guess I still have to let it settle? I'm happy still.

The conversion calculator on this site can be very helpful too : )

Wow nice! Can I have one too? (PM) Thanks

Before I upgraded, I had the Basic package with advertised speeds of 384/384. Some of you may have not heard of this package before since it is a "grand-daddy" package and it is no longer offered. I was paying $26.99 a month for this and have been using it for about 2.5 years. Clearly I have paying too much for such a speed so I decided to call SBC. I was advised to upgrade online at www.att.com/upgrade. I chose the lowest package that is offered right now -- the Express package with advertised speeds of 1.5 dl / 384 ul. It's a promotion called the "loyal customer upgrade"? Anyway it has been 4 days since I upgraded and I am only receiving 81 kB/s download. My upload seems about right at 40 kB/s. I'm not even getting half of the advertised max! However I do realize that this falls in the 384 - 1.5 DL range. Upsetting... BUT here's something that confuses me. I go to http://192.168.0.1/ and it shows that I am ONLY connected at 768 Kbps (downstream)!! If I dl at 81 kB/s, it seems allright if my max really is 768 Kbps! Can somebody help me? Much appreciated.
