I thought it'd be pretty interesting to see everyone's internet speeds.

I was checking the connection at college and was amazed at how good it was

Their closest server seems to be in Finland.
With Bredbandskollen.se I get 91.29mbit/sec down and 65.05mbit/sec up from one of their servers that's more or less the same distance from me as the one speedtest uses. Im surprised at the huge difference in results. How reliable is speedtest.net if you don't live in a major city?

Edit: Tried with the server in Stockholm and got better results. My upload speed is still lacking though.

I'm pretty sure it was the server that it was communicating with, not the ISP.

Overall, I haven't had any issues with it. I mean, consider that in my area, this is the cheapest per byte bandwidth. I'm very jealous of other countries where you have massive internet infrastructure and get ridiculous speeds.

That'll do I suppose.

I'll just ignore the fact that Colonel Panic's connection is 10x faster
