Now that kila mutu is bragging, just using other broadband meters away from speedtest, http://www.mybroadbandspeed.co.uk/results/05946197.png I downloaded an update of about 177MB within less than 10 min.

This for me has been a gray area through and through. Speedtest is all about which server you are pinging, which leads me to my question. What exactly is the internet? If i ping kdn from my butterfly connection in malindi, its still an ip network, and i get speeds of 100 m. If i ping jeddah, or qatar, i get amazing speeds, in the range of 60- 70. If i ping ghana, sa and other locations, its much slower. On 11/20/09, Dennis Kioko <dmbuvi@gmail.com> wrote:

In this case, lets try download manager screen shots.

@ndungu, before you jump to conclusions, the speedtest result is from pinging kdn nairobi, more of local loop. Choose a different server to get more reliable results cause as the screen shots indicate, you are comparing a ping to parkside, with one to au, with one to the download location.

I think the results from Speedtest.net are officially very rigged:

Please see <attached below> screen shots of :

1) speedtest.net - 2mbps

2) http://www.cnet.com.au/broadband-speedtest/ - 380 Kbps

3) actual download in action - 17 Kbps

We could try compare with an actual download from a reliable source and see the speed - where is the bottle neck ???
