481447 2006-08-30 08:15:00 My speed test results: www.speedtest.net (http://www.speedtest.net)

I was under the impression that the upload speed was normally slower than the download speed. I have done this test on a few sites and get about the same results every time. Could anyone explain this to me please? Is there something I am missing here?

481449 2006-08-30 08:39:00 Have you been speed limited by your ISP? The download speed look a bit slow. somebody (208)
481450 2006-08-31 09:31:00 Sorry forgot to say that I had dial-up. If I had broadband and that was my download speed my ISP would be getting some very colourful emails and phone calls. Mark.Gribble (10310)

Suspect her location was a long way from the exchange plus load problems. She has gone to Broadband and is as happy as Larry although the speeds are pathetic for what Broadband could be capable FrankS (257)
