What's your broadband speed?

That's sitting on a tier1 pipeline with unlimited burst.

Basically, I'm only limited by the speed at which 'speedtest' could receive my upload =p. My pipe is quicker than they could test me lolz.

Not a fair test... I was testing it from a webserver sitting at Level3, which is like... one of the backbones of the internet.

Let me post a speedtest from work tomorrow off the oc192

I'll just end to end it between the gateway routers ;)

That's a serious question, I'm an internet n00b.

To you or I we could give 2 shits about upload speeds. It's the rate at which you send data to the internet. And of course you know what download is.

Yeah I definitely don't give a shit about that.
