    So if we wanted to misbehave we could do it in threads with large BMP files?

    Took the test
    Your download speed : 182260 bps, or 177 kbps.
    A 22.2 KB/sec transfer rate.
    Your upload speed : 157918 bps, or 154 kbps.

    I think its somewhat BS results.

    I've seen max about 120 coming when downloading from microsoft.com.

    Uploading at max around 33kbs

    I got 1MB up and 256 down ADSL. Which is also shared with punch of folks in the same house,
    and that might affect it a little.


    edit:

    I did couple other tests in the same country, got around 660 kbit/s. average.

    I can't get Telewest. I'm in NTL area and after they couldn't supply me with a stable 1MB cable I told em they were shit, and they had monkeys working for them. I then said other swear words which I won't repeat. Then I cancelled my TV, phone, and Internet and went with Bulldog 2Mb (no caps).

    only thing is i have no tv but i didn't watch it that much anyway.
