[no peanuts]

My work (lolz)

I might actually post the results from home...I think I might be able to beat that! :norty:

I've never trusted the results these Speedtest sites give, generally because they are more likely to be congested or having bandwidth issues than me when i'm at work, or the holdup will be somewhere on the path between us but not actually under either of our control (Aah, the joys of the Internet). Hence I hit up the same server 3 or 4 times and get about the same result each time, but if I hit up different servers I get wildly differing results:
