Almost makes me want to apply at Google. I have a[n up to] 25 mbps line, Shaw is rolling out 50 mbps but upstream isn't really improving so big deal. Downstream is not my bottleneck for most things but online backups and such are painful. I'd blame the technology but DOCSIS 3 allows for more than that, and Telus has fibre in Canada with similarly castrated upstream bandwidth. sigh http://www.speedtest.net/result/1447275168.png http://www.speedtest.net/result/1447275168.png

Which makes me wonder what kind of connection Speedtest.net has.

  Perhaps this measures capability of SpeedTest, not capability of Google :-)

      Sorry, that 3ms ping suggests you are inside their network. Try getting that over the internet.

        Incorrect, I've gotten pings of less than 1 millisecond from over the internet.

      It says a distance of 1200 miles but a ping of just 3ms, which means they're breaking the law. Speed of light in a vacuum: 299.8km per millisecond.

        No, the location is taken from the RWHOIS data which just happened to not list the IP's actual location.
