Please don't get me wrong, I am all for sites like this offering people the chance to check out the speed of bandwidth and then also going one step further but then failing dismally to have software that shows anywhere near accuracy. I tested my own connection for example and know it to be running at 8 meg with a true connection of 6.8 Your software clocked me as having a 512 connection!!!? Come on guys, hasn't anyone reported your software as not working or malfunctioning? Your site is getting hits to the dozen from people curious as to your ranking with Alexa, don't let yourselves down by offering anything less than the best! I found it ironic that the blogs on broadband were actually quite qualified yet not supported by the software you use? Am I being pedantic here? Please don't take this as a criticism, I have nothing to gain here, but you could in reality send a whole lot of people running off to their ISP's complaining of crap bandwidth when its actually your software that isn't up to the mark at present. Take the comment as it is meant, as made in good faith to a site that I am sure means the same too, Kev I tested my bandwidth using this software on your site and found the results to be hysterical.
