Those speeds are over our internal wireless network. I wonder if LAN would be faster? Oh, your post is worthless without pics! Haha

beat this...
Try this one!
So which server is hosting the test? Given you are at Williams, you probably are connected directly (or very close to, minimal hops) to the test server. My internal server speeds are very fast, but anything external is (relatively at 3-5 mbps) slow as we go through the firewall servers in Los Angeles.
What are your speeds when downloading from another site? i.e. download a Linux distribution and see what speeds you get?
get some more...

Can't touch that!
All of these test servers can be misleading and fluctuate quite a bit from one test to the next.
Different routes, changes in traffic, caching servers all affect the results.
If you really want to exercise your internet connection to the max try a good bittorent client and join a really large swarm(a popular linux distro on DVD is good).
You will have upwards of 100 simulataneous connections, both up and down, that will use up every last bit of your bandwidth unless you throttle it.
You will have to have inbound ports open and NAT'd.
Obviously most folks can't do that at work but some, like in IT, can justify it.
