| Someone with a metro ethernet or other pure fiber connection with at least a 100/100 mbps service could easily get such a speed test result.
Tell us where you snapped that screen shot, and you will probably have answered you own question.

Note the source in the bottom left corner. This isn't being run from a home connection, it's a server in a hosting data center. In the case of the results posted, it's being run from a physical or virtual box hosted on »www.180servers.com 's network. |

Looks like a 100/100Mbps connection. It could possibly be a business or school. |

I did not initially notice that, so that definitely answers the OP's question. And I was right about the connection technology, it is 100/100 metro ethernet.

said by 180servers.com :180Servers provides 100mbit ethernet connections on all servers.

espaeth  got it right off the bat, pretty easy to do off a hosted server.
However depending on where you live in Houston, TX, you could likely match the download speed...for a price.
Home connections with that sort of upload are fairly rare. |

Most of these speed test are when your using power boost true download upload is not even close to this |
|
| You are aware that fiber connections do not have powerboost, right ? That's more than likely what these 100+ Mbps connections are using.

That speed test is nothing. My college upgraded to gigabit ethernet in my senior year and would do 3 to 4 times that. |

^^^ That does not count at 2am to 5am you would always get amazing speed |

At this church office building I used to work at I would get 400/200mbit speeds on the regular, during the day. 96/79 is nothing amazing. |

| reply to DJboutit
Mine is 153Mbps/ 70/Mbps |

My office is in a municipal building and is fed by a Gig-E metro line. It's pretty much as fast as the NIC in the machine you are using. |

Not hard to do with business service.
Sitting in my office, here's what I see this morning (network is a little busy at the moment). |
