Hi Hayward,
said by Hayward0:If you are talking about the basic 798k service 590k is a bit low but not horribly off if not constant. Remember there are over head/error check bits that are like 8% of speed.
Focusing on that one number won't give you an accurate picture of what is going on because you're looking at a snapshot in time that is only ten seconds long.
Here are all of the test results (summary containing speed tests):

----------
Notice how the outbound (upload) speed was very consistent, and how variable the inbound (download) speed was. In particular, note how the inbound (download) speed was often
less than the outbound (upload) speed.
