Hi, I've been floating around on here for a little bit, but finally decided to register and put my question out for you all - I'm too curious to leave it alone.........
I've got Verizon DSL, the 3 Mb plan. My DSL Router (Versalink 327w) reports my line connection as 3360 by 832 kbps down/up. As far as I was concerned, this meant to me that I could download at 336 kB/sec, and upload around 83 kB/sec.
When I run speed tests at any site (here, dslreports, bandwidthplace, etc) I always get about the same numbers - 330 kB/sec down, and 80 kB/sec up.

Why is it not reporting something closer to the 3360 by 832? If my connection is 3360 by 832, what speed should I be able to download and upload at?
