Your speed test test the data transfer rate between you and the remote machine. That is, the entire route between you and a machine potentially 30+ hops away. Each one of those hops may be a link which cannot saturate your 7.6 meg connection as it's also transferring data for 25,000 other connections. -- Steve When 1 person suffers from a delusion it is insanity.
