Mine should be 6 meg down... something wrong

>>> Speed: 5089 kbps (down), 649 kbps (up) <<<

Equals 621kB/s - Nothing wrong with that on a 6mb line.

Don't confuse kilobits with kilobytes.

thought it wasjust divide by 8 to get kB/s

Which is 636kB/s

That speed tester isn't the most reliable as late.. found it gets a bit overloaded at times so slows down loads.

You actually times it by 0.122.

Edit - Should be 621kB/s so god knows what I pressed last night. Was a long day though.
