    For real.  The school district has spent a lot of money getting the network to be as good as it is.

    Hmm, this is a first.  I used Lexington, KY as the test location and the download speed of 1500 Kbps is exactly what my DSL is rated for; so, it's 100%. 



    I run a speed test every so often and this has never happened.  I usually use a test site in Toledo, Ohio, from dslreports.com; I live in central Ohio.  That location has, up to this point, given me the best results of any test sites.  So, I'm skeptical about the accuracy of the above test. 

    From all my previous tests, 1447 Kbps download is about the best I've gotten and the results from the Toledo location are fairly consistent, usually getting 1440 - 1447 Kbps.  Getting 100% is really not likely to happen unless you're very close to the nearest "central office" of your telecommunications provider.  So, again, I'm skeptical about the accuracy of this test.

    Edit: Cincinnati is the preferred test location for my area, per speedtest.net.

    dairyman, why do you have the image in your signature blocked linked to http://userbarz.com/ ?  Kinda mis-leading isn't it?

    Why? Is it a virus?
    If so, I'll remove it.

    I don't think it's a virus.  But, what does it have to do with AVG?  It just seems a bit odd to me to use an image which appears to be a link to AVG but actually link it to some other site.

    I see what you mean, but Userbarz.com linked it to their website.
    I'll change the link.

      It depends what your ISP promises are...

      I contacted rr. I am running about 4% less than advertised speed on upload and download.

      Download Speed: 6896 kbps (862 KB/sec transfer rate)
      Upload Speed: 491 kbps (61.4 KB/sec transfer rate)
      Download speed seems to be pretty decent, upload is on rather lower side.
