i feel these results are inaccurate, as my seeds are still choked around 3bps on average (if anything decides to seed at all)

Ok so I use Verizon Fios in Fort Wayne and my upload is supposed to be 5mb and my download is 20mb. Regular broadban test show that these numbers are right on. But when I went to the test it told me that there was no problem but the download streams where only at 3mb which when downloading off of utorrent my speed always maxes out at 2.4mb. So are they throttling me?

sorry, how does this work?
the instruction “browse on over to:

a title=â€http://broadband.mpi-sws.org/transparency/bttest.phpâ€ href=â€http://broadband.mpi-sws.org/transparency/bttest.phpâ€>http://broadband.mpi-sws.org/transparency/bttest.php.

doesn’t mean much to me.
are all the quotation marks, and the final full stop and the initial text of ‘a title=’ (enclosed here in single quotes by me for clarity, i hope) required?

thank you -someone- for assistance.

This is great! I’m checking my connection right now.

Looks like Verizon FIOS is OK. 8Mbs down and 2 Mbs up… funny tho that its different from the speedtest.net site which consistently shows 20 Mbs down and 5 Mbs up.
