[X-Unix] CPU speed

[Brent Baisley]

That's not testing your connection speed, it's testing your browser 
speed. Any bandwidth test should give you your bandwidth, not how much 
time it takes to perform a certain task. Google for broadband speed 
test.
Here's a quick one:
http://www.bandwidthplace.com/speedtest/

That reported 1.3MB for me. I'm on a T1, which is 1.4MB. So that is 
accurate considering overhead.

Cable is 10MB shared, your DSL is most certainly not that fast, 
although it is not shared. At least until it gets to the switching 
station. The more people that get cable modems in your sons 
neighborhood, the slower his connection will get since more people are 
sharing the same bandwidth.
