Very true. We have two gigs, but a commercial speedtest comes up seriously short (typically 100+ Mbps) while a locally hosted speedtest will show 800-900+. Not sure how much is "their" upstream versus simple physics... you'd have to be the only test subject to a gig-connected server to do much better. We have had some "contrived" examples over I2 that pushed 500Mbps symmetric, but they ran that demo over our I2 pipe because their commodity link couldn't deliver the necessary rate/latency. Jeff
