thanks for that site... i've been using dslreports and have been relatively
satisfied... one thing that i'm also looking at is how accurate the mods to my
smoothwall firewall box are with regard to the "traffic graphs" mod for it... i
don't think i'm seeing what i should be... everything "out there" is showing
what i expect (and hope) to see... maybe i've just gotta do a small bit of perl
coding to fix the mod numbers i'm seeing ;)

anyway, here's what my line is seeing from all 4 of the myspeed sites accessed
from the (live demo) link which uses a java app very similar to dslreports...

not bad but that VA site is having some problems... i ran several tests against
it and never got better than 1.5Mbps... i ran a couple of other tests against
that site and the route from my system to it has one router that is dropping
packets and there's two more that are responding slower than they should...

oh yeah, i'm physically in the dead center of north carolina ;)
