Compared to the average of 3978 tests from comcast.net:
* download is 60% worse, upload is 76% better

Of course, that'* on my laptop'* wireless connection......

and so whats the diufference? if its WiFi, 802.11b or 802.11g then your local area connection is already surpassing the speed of your internet connection by 8-51 MBPS. Its funny how much of a common misconception that really is. unless of course there is some other reason its slower, then I'll just go dig myself into a hole
