Same locations as my previous post:

From me to San Francisco, California, USA
D/L: 1242 kbps
U/L: 314 kbps
(this test was lightning fast to perform)
Image

From me to London, UK
D/L: 754 kbps
U/L: 212 kbps
(This one was a little slower, but not by much)
Image

Weird thing about this is that my work connection is way faster, but the performance of it seems to suck way more. Go figure.

Cable? Party-line problems, I imagine.
DSL? Could be congestion on your provider's network..

or you could be sucking down bandwidth using other services at the same time, such as streaming video or music.

Well, at least you've probably got a decent upload speed. ::sigh:: The test results lie: use any more than 10kb of upload bandwidth and my download rate plummets.

Funny thing though, since I'm in the center of Europe, it looks like he's pi**ing on Amsterdam :D
