That's really a very good answer to that speedtest results . How would I set speedtest to assess the speed while downloading a particular file?

Speedtest.net tests already download files as a means of testing speeds. The VVM server in Temple, TX downloads this: http://speedsrv1.vvm.com/mini/speedtest/random4000x4000.jpg I imagine all of their other servers downloading the same thing.

Have a look at Latvian ISP numbers, they are crazy fast. I'm an American living in Riga and the Internet is crazy fast and crazy cheap. I'm at a different computer typing this so I can't send a screen shot, but speedtest.net from my wired computer at home gives me ~400 Mbps download and over 300 Mbps upload. This costs me about $30/month... yeah boyeeee

I feel sorry for you people from the US :/ Paying for 100/10 in Sweden

I Get all of my 100/10 on my dell tablet a room away from the router with 1 wall in the way. Gotta love that 5 GHz band:

Think of us in South Africa (I live in a very small town ... larger towns are usually up to 10Mbps enabled, and in some larger cities a lucky few can get FTTH (Fibre to the Home), up to 20 Mbps, at a high cost) ...

The theoretical max DL I can achieve is only 4 Mbps, as our local Telkom exchange only supports that speed. I am lucky if I achieve an actual DL of 3.4 Mbps, and an UL of 0.4 Mbps (yes, that's Zero point 4 DL on a good day.

I am capped at 20 GB data usage per month, although I can buy 'top-up' data ... at extra cost.

We have only one fixed line ADSL provider, and that is the Government-controlled Telkom.

Good Mobile data connections are available in towns, but using mobile data e.g. 3G is VERY expensive here, although the prices are trending downwards.

That's crappier than actual crap.

not bad today as I'm sure I am being throttled by time warner cable. paying for 25mbs and certain days when i'm busy, i get choked down to 2mbs. rarely do i see anything close to the 20's

TWC must be congested in your area. 100 Mbps here in LA is always maxed out.

I have come to hate this thread ... I reckon I need to move to a first-world country

This is the best I get, and am unlikely to achieve any better, as our local exchange only supports up to 4 Mbps DL. There is no such thing as a "fibre to the home" offering here. We have only one (and it is government controlled) fixed line operator, Telkom, in South Africa

Gee, I guess the 'half-fast' ads hit on a valid complaint, that upload speed doesn't match down -

WOW, must be nice!! lol here in northeast ohio, our biggest package is 80mbs down. IF you pay for that...the SOBS would trickle you down to 15-20...maybe. my kids would be in YouTube heaven with that speed!! LOL
