This is impressive, but it loses a little luster when you realize their proximity to the testing server. SpeedTest's SF server is hosted by MonkeyBrains.net.

This is impressive, but it loses a little luster when you realize their proximity to the testing server. SpeedTest's SF server is hosted by MonkeyBrains.net. A quick traceroute shows their servers are just one step away from Cogent's SF backbone. I suspect whoever ran this test has fewer than four steps between them and the testing server, and the slowest link between them is the gigabit ethernet port to their desk.
