cards are slower than the second comming.
What is your test rig? Distance to the WAP? Signal level?
Speakeasy measures far more than your local network link's speed. The
appropriate way of doing that is to time file transfers over your link
to a local system on the same switch.
Also, Speakeasy's "speed test" is flash based; so it's measuring your
system's ability to run Flash as well as any incidental connectivity.
Finally I suspect their methods.
They just told me that my 'download speed' is 28Mbps, and my 'upload
speed' is 6.12 Mbps.
This is on my desktop system which has a gigabit connection to the
campus fiber backbone, and on out through the UA's three multiplexed
Gbps fiber connections, and no asymmetric caps.
Now we could have various connectivity issues between here and there,
but I highly doubt that there's a 98% degradation in speed unless the
Apocalypse has occurred.
