Today I read that most Internet providers here, in the Netherlands, are going to upgrade their speeds. In my case that would mean that I'd get double my current download speed! A little bit concerned that my ADSL line wouldn't be able to handle the extra speed I decided to test my speed using the free site Speedtest. My maximum speed should be :
Instead I got :
IE/Firefox showed speeds around 160 KB/s, however Opera did a blazing 2 mb (258 KB!) which is quite a few extra bits and bytes than my provider allows me! Oh well it could that the wind of bits is blowing in my direction but its definitely weird!
1600bps/12 = 133.333333
(divided by 12 to account for TCP/IP overhead)
