Re: 20mb Download question

Usually I get consistent speeds but sometimes they drop way down randomly for a bit. I've found that speedtest.net is always crowded so I have to pick a server that is kind of out of the way to get an accurate test. I'm in IL so it always suggests STL or Chicago but those are so overcrowded that I only test about 10-12mbit but when I use the Secaucus, NJ server, I always get my full download speed.

Also, the netflix instant watch app is free for xbox live so I can watch my instant watch queue through my xbox on my tv, but with my 8mb connection, the TV shows that were available in up to HD quality would barely ever detect my connection as good enough to stream that. Sometimes it would start in HD then readjust a few minutes into the show to a lower quality. Now with max, it always loads HD quickly and doesn't stutter.

I only wish I got my full upload speed now. I have never gotten above 1600kbps on a speed test. Is anyone getting even close to 2mb (1900+)?
