If it makes you feel any better, a lot of game download websites etc have a cap of like 700 KBps which is like 5.5 Mbps so most of the time all that speed is worthless. Except when I download torrents which I can get up to 3 MBps which is still only 24Mbps :/
If any one know a website where I can truly test my full download speed of a file, let me know.
Edit: MPGH is going pretty fast today:
