My home connection is only a 3.2 mbit connection, I was transferring data from a new dedicated server @ theplanet (100mbit uplink) to my shared hosting here @ dathorn (cpanel08) for a quick speed test. I should actually try sending it to RackMy for a better speed test overall.

I wish I could have a nice 100mbit link at home.

CNET one: 2310.3 kbps (2.3MBs yes?)
BandwidthPlace one: 2.7 MBs
ActionComputers one: Average: 3040 KB loaded in 8.9 secs at 2735 kbit/sec

So I'd say bout 2.5 MB/sec would be best guess??
Hmm; I'm on a four-port CABLE router (BELKIN) ~ does
that may any sort of difference??

A lot of the servers we have capped at 10Mbps as there has been no reason for them needing any more than that but cpanel08 is one that is uncapped obviously.

Yah, I was surprised about that.
