try my test below and see what you get it should max you out.. there is a problem with the mcafee one - afterall 1.71mb/sec would not produce 221k/sec results - and if that 1.71mb/sec is right then your getting near 17MB which is BETTER than the advertised speed

Re: Speed tests - Sites to try etc

Here a good application can get it here you must give some personal info like e-mail address.But I think it worth it gives you a hourly or daily or monthly stats.

Speed Tester download instructions

Re: Speed tests - Sites to try etc

Sky user with 16mb max package,for £10.00 a month.
Speed tests are a waste of time, i downloaded a 124mb album earlier, it was 14.22pm i am within a mile of our exchange and there are two computers on our network, one hard wired the other wireless. The album in question took less then 2 minutes to download and save to file, that will do for me bud, just the darn router that pulls my chain
