Ok, so a friend of mine in a download room told me to go to this website and test my download speed and I did. The results are :
:::.. Download Stats ..:::
Connection is:: 6363 Kbps about 6.36 Mbps (tested with 5983 kB)
Download Speed is:: 777 kB/s
Tested From:: http://testmy.net (Server 2)
Test Time:: 2006/05/22 - 8:57pm
Bottom Line:: 111X faster than 56K 1MB Download in 1.32 sec
Tested from a 5983 kB file and took 7.703 seconds to complete

I have NO idea what this means... Does anyone else?

Basically these sites test by downloading and uploading files of a certain size and see how long it takes for that file to complete.

This little blurb test what machine was doing the testing, the file sizes used, and how long it took.

Yes, I am on cable. I was told that this is a really fast connection for cable too. All I know is I have roadrunner because I'm an impatient person and I don't like to wait for sites to load
