They ping your computer and return the speed, not that difficult. I would expect it to be different every time unless there is no one else on you network all the way to the provider.
you share bandwidth, the only way you would be consistent is if you had your own dedicated T1 hookup and no one else used it. </div></BLOCKQUOTE>

That's not the point. The point is numbers vary too wildly with these tests to ever get an accurate number from them as you can see from peoples results. It has nothing to do with sharing bandwith, there are not enough people on my node to make a difference, I live in a very small town.
