Not Complaining...But Wondering
I have DSL and being a inquisitive guy am wondering something. Using Firefox I get an average of 2000 up and 300 down using various speedtests. When I use IE it jumps to an average of 2500 down, 422 up. I ain't fussin' but wondering why such a difference. At any rate it's a blazin' speed for both.

I'm getting the same on both IE and Firefox 3000/300 with cable. Are you running the latest version of java?

Yes I did. As I wrote, it's still very fast but IE faster. Thanks for the responses.

Hmm, that's weird. In IE for me my upload is vastly slower, but my download is marginally faster then in Firefox...

I get nearly identical results in Opera, Firefox, and IE.
However, I am paying for 3000/800 service and yet the highest that I have ever gotten is 970 down.

How do you find out your up and download speeds? I have dsl and it is quick, but just woundering for myself... I know having the tower 2 blocks away is suppose to be good if using dsl...

There are a lot of speed test sites - I use pcpitstop or dslreports.
