Well,

1. You're in the wrong forum (as the other poster said).

2. Someone with Qwest's 20mbps/1mbps service will come and beat both your download and upload speeds.

Considering DSL's overhead, will the 20,000/1,000 service be able to beat a 16,206/731 test result?

the overhead comes from an ATM network, the fiber backbone should be more efficient

If I understand it correctly they don't run a fiber line directly to your NID like Verizon does with FIOS. That part (the part from their fiber network to your house) is still DSL (ADSL2+) and still uses ATM.

Or do I have it all wrong?

No idea how you got such good speeds, but that's awesome. (I think the test may be inaccurate though.)

IIRC Qwest's higher speed offering is 20mbps/1mbps - can someone tell me if that's correct or not?

Qwest's new FTTN service runs off of the Qwest Metropolitan Optical Ethernet network instead of through an ATM.

That's the fastest DSL speed qwest offers. I'm guessing that speedtest is coming from a Qwest sales office in Logan.

Tucson, AZ		 It might just be plain inaccurate. IIRC the only "really" accurate way is to use wget and measure it that way with a 64MB (or so) test file.

So ADSL2+ doesn't use ATM, it uses Qwest Metropolitan Optical Ethernet?

[Edit]
To put it another way: What underlying data-transport protocol have they replaced ATM with in the ADSL2+ part of this setup? Is there one?

Is that part of the reason why the only ADSL2+ ISP is qwest.net at this time?

The twisted pair to the DSLAM on an ADSL circuit will always be ATM. If it's not ATM it's not ADSL. After it hits the DSLAM it can be either ethernet, ATM, frame relay, or something else.
