Seriously, I just posted this to show how good IDNet is.

Has anyone ever got over 7000?

I know it's bogus, but it made me smile at the time.

When synced at 8128 you go onto a 7150 profile for which maximum Theorietical throughput is 6919 excluding overheads, so i'd say you're doing alright inactive!

I know I am doing OK, but it is so frustrating that it will never go over the 7000 mark, yet it is so close..  ;)

I find this very difficult to believe, but it's totally genuine, as just tested:

That shows you how reliable speed tests are. :)

Most of them work by faking a data transfer, consequently, they can be wide of the mark with their results if conditions vary. The only reliable speed test is to download a large file, eg a Linux distro, from a good server.
