I live in the Philly area - and I pay extra for the "Gold Service" ... not
for the download speed but for the upload speed as I have two phone lines
with Vonage.

Woo- Hoo - here are my speeds today (after turningoff the cable modem and
router and waiting for about one minute before turning them back on)

I'm still getting about the same speeds as usual. I don't think my area has
been upgraded yet. This is what I get:

What is your real world download speed?

Assuming you were in the 4 Mbit tier before, I'd say that your
measured download speed of >4 Mbps (4.3 Mbps) may indicate
that your area HAS been upgraded, but that the speed test
result just isn't a very good indicator of the maximum
throughput you could achieve. Pulling down a big file
from an FTP server close to you on the network and hanging
off a pipe of reasonable size is really a better measure
than the java-based speed tests, in my experience. The
15 and 90 MB (the latter is misnamed onehundredmeg.exe)
test files avalable at ftp://chftp01.ne.ipsvc.net/pub/test/
have worked well for those of us in the NE region for years,
but unfortunately the server may not be accessible to users
outside of the NE region. You can all do the math, I'm
sure, but for the sake of having a quick reference:

file time to download download speed
-----------------------------------------------------
fifteenmegfile.exe 30 sec 4 Mbps
fifteenmegfile.exe 20 sec 6 Mbps
fifteenmegfile.exe 15 sec 8 Mbps
onehundredmeg.exe 180 sec 4 Mbps
onehundredmeg.exe 120 sec 6 Mbps
onehundredmeg.exe 90 sec 8 Mbps

Ok. So what is the real world speed?
