This reminds me of something.

I've used www.internetfrog.com to check my bandwidth before, and get decent 
results,
usually around the CABLE range.  But... if I use the same service from my 
Windows box
(exactly the same network, using the same cable modem), it comes back around 
the DSL
range.  Any idea what's going on there?  How accurate are these bandwidth 
testing
sites, anyway?  I emailed them with this question, but didn't get a response.

I'd give my right arm to live in the country (I'm left-handed, so I don't want 
to get
rid of my left arm and be forced to use my right....)
