Nope, I just got those results when I tried it about 20 minutes ago. I didn't have any other network traffic, and all my working wifi adapters are wireless g.

You're right about the online speed tests - they always give varying results.

UPDATE: I just got 10,518 down, so I guess someone on up the cable line was doing something intensive before. We're the last house on the street's cable line so we kind of get the short end of the stick. That also probably explains the weak cable signal.
