I'm pretty sure I just won the award for worst internet
The best part is, I failed the test 7 times in a row before it finally completed. Kept getting errors on the latency and upload tests

Comcast limits you to 250 GB per month. Which, at least for me, is waaay more than I need If you really want to know more, here's a link to the Terms of Service http://www.comcast.net/terms/use/

Yah sure, I got a horrible score, but I am still very happy for what I am getting. I live in Toronto and I get average 368kb/s download rate, and am paying $39.99 for rogers here. If you think that this is a ripoff in my city, then please tell me another ISP in Toronto which gives better speeds with better monthly costs than Rogers. Thanks.

Philly - I'm on a 7MB/s plan with Qwest. It averages 4 to 5 MB/s on this PC but I'm connected wirelessly.

@ #32
Jafo, your Telstra speed is somewhat better than mine, what package do you have? Mine's 25gb per month @ 1500/256 ADSL1.
I'm also wondering if there's a speed difference between the Brisbane and Melbourne servers?? 
Still, Telstra is getting the flick come Feb 3rd... it refuses to compete with other ISP's on many levels and I'm sick to the back teeth of ringing only to get a 20 min fight with its automated answering service prior to being switched to the area I want/need: often times to be cut off and having to go though the entire rigmarol all over again.

You might want to speak with comcast about that. It is terrible, and it might be the fault of your router.
You should have them replace the router to see if it fixes things, because no cable modem should be that slow.
Another possibility is that you have multiple firewalls and/or virus programs running. If that is the case, reduce them.
One test you could make is to disable all virus and firewall software and try the test again. That should let you know if it is your software or router that is to blame.

I did not know routers can suport that high of a speed HG.

wifi G band should go up to ~50 Mbps
depending on prevailing conditions of corse.

It is the router, which, unfortunately, is something that Comcast doesn't provide, otherwise we would have bought a new one a long time ago. Our router is something like 8ish years old But today our new router is supposed to come (thank you Amazon black friday deals!) After that gets all set up, I'll run the test again and see what the speeds are like.

agreed. I don't think this test is very accurate.

Question for those on Comcast...are they still trying to regulate how much usage your allowed or did they back off of that?
Philly, it looks to me that those with extremly high download speeds (70 and up) are mostly Colleges and Universities.
One thing I noticed, it's interesting to see where some of you at.
