Wes: I've used a couple of Internet speed tests, at different times, but
always w/ the same configs. Neither config has been modified. All of the
results are the same. I use ADSLGuide and DLSReports as my speed tests,
which are in different continents, but both report the same speeds. I use
different browsers, but Java is what does the deal.
I am still clueless....Jet
