Brag, brag, brag, Who Cares?!! j/k :-) You probably pay peanuts for that speed or even FREE?

In the old days, those speed test sites used to say something like "quit all other applications and process" I guess to get faster results. At the time I took the test I was running:

yeah, slghtly bragging, too, obviously.
Earlier I was on 24/1 ADSL, which delivered something like 17/0.6 so I was longing for more decent upload speed every time I was ftp'ing a client site to a server. 20 to 50 megs or so used to take it's sweet time.
Igot a two-year deal now actually cheaper than the previous deal, so I'm happy. It's on my biz' name actually, since I work from home, so I get the tax write-offs and all. I still woldn't call it peanuts, however. 40 euros per month compared to 52 euros before.

Geez! I'd call that information superhighway robbery!
But as long as it's not dial-up anymore, right? And I'd say that's still a pretty decent speed for average home use. I was on 1meg Android tethering with two laptops and an iPad from Saturday until today. Good thing it's unlimited data, but I'm nonetheless expecting a call from my carrier to offer a beefier data plan.
