I don't have any speedtest server close to me, I think I used to but now the closest one is in the states, so I can't use speedtest, but here are my speeds from a speed test webpage from my ISP:

I'm not crazy, ask my toaster.
The potential problem with that is it may just be testing your ISPs internal network, and not external connectivity.
Exactly what I thought too, but I have several friends with a different ISP who've confirmed the test is compliant with their internet packages, and I've asked and seen test results of both the above and speedtest from friends in other areas of Canada where they can use Speedtest better than I (edit: On my speedtest image in the bottom right it says Oolkla, and in the bottom right of my ISP's test it says Oolkla as well, possible a similar test).
I can sometimes get 70mbps or close to it on a speedtest, but it depends on what time of day I try the test at, I think. I do know I'm getting the correct speed because I managed to download from rapidshare at around 8-9 megabytes a second, which is of-course approximately 70 megabits a second and that's my plan!
edit: last night I was in the 40mbps down range at speedtest and now:
That upload isn't great but the download is as it should be apparently. I'm also told by my ISP and a few people that apparently after you install the setup in a household, you might have to wait hours to a week for the speed to "correct itself" (this sounds like a lot of crap to me, but maybe it's true -shrugs).

The more I look at this, the more annoyed I get knowing that some of my neighbours can get fibre optic (which my friend is on and gets a ~30mb download :@).
Not to bad considering the other UK speed tests in this thread![]()
Decent run this morning
