I used the "mirror" test provided by "Test My Net" for the CA locale. I consistently am getting speeds of over 22K even after dumping temp files. I am under no illusion that those are my actual speeds, I know that I am getting Appx. 4.4 to 4.7 MB on the down. Why the "mirror" is being so kind to me I don't know but if it will tell me that I have a "big one" too I might consider marriage....................
