Disclaimer: I'm not offering a perfect solution to the ideal test. 1.) Depends on how everyone is routing. The people replying directly to the OP's page are checking from different servers with god-knows-what kind of routing tables that the average web browser on the net does not have access to. 1b.) A better test would be to have people from different ISP's and different geographic locations testing this out. Routing is everything. In other words, let's see what results are seen by mom-and-pop from India, UK, Texas, Rhode Island, Montana, Nunavut, Brazil, China, and Nigeria. 2.) Already said, but worth pounding into the OP's head, Google is the most widely used for jQuery because everyone else is using it and harddrive cache is 1.21 jiggawatts faster than any networked CDN. 3.) Latency and overall speed need to be measured. What use is 88Mbps if you've got horrible latency? Sure, there are times when a courier on a bike is faster than FTP, but for small files that latency is a bigger deal.
