My fastest Download speeds would be with FireFox and my fastest upload speeds would be with   

the Internet Explorer

Sorry about double posting here but I faild to look at the upload in my original post.  Figured, if I was going to post up I might as well take a look at the download again.  As it turns out there was not that big a difference the second time around.

Fastest download was with Firefox.  Upload was a dead tie.

Is that like a school connection? or work? What ISP? I'd say FIOS, but that's not what the DNS read, obviously.. ;)

edit: oops, I feel like an idiot, ok, your on FIOS, right? I didn't catch that in your earlier test, sorry. :mad2:
