Speed tests are all over the place

belusive join:2004-11-04	Speed tests are all over the place I test my download speed on different sites. On Speedtest.com and Speakeasy, I'll get between 7 and 10 meg. But on Cnet and Testmy and Verizon, I'll get between 1 and 4 meg. My upload speed is consistent on every site I go to. Which is the most accurate speed test? (I am on the 10/1 plan).

belusive join:2004-11-04	Thanks. Why would I get such drastically different speed tests on each site?

Why would I get such drastically different speed tests on each site? * Physical distance to test server * Latency between you and test server * high usage of speedtest server may cause erratic results * running processes on your system during test I imagine theres other explanations as well. Ill take a true download or upload from a good source/destination over a speedtest result anytime. -- Yes. the cat in my avatar is indeed mine.
