You know you upgraded your service just to be at the top! I bet you already called Cox to downgrade!

You wish. :p

Speedtest.net results are always inaccurate. I get better grades in terms of packet loss from different servers, and where speed is concerned, their servers are always getting hammered and can't handle it. Their mobile app is HORRIBLE and totally unreliable.

But I joined the Mac test wave anyway.. I'm the one in Long Island City

How do you get Speed Test to give your score a grade? I get the numbers and graphs but no grade?

I have no idea how accurate this is...but this result is very surprising. I live in an apartment building with 90% students (all download) and our internet is supplied by the building.

Wow, that should be a felony! ;D

Tell me about it. We're paying $22.99 a month for those speeds... Still, it beats dial up. (The only other option out here)
