Like hobbes said, these tests are pretty misleading.

I know for a fact that we have a 200Mb Up and Down link out of the office here, when I point towards the PTC offices(500yrds away) I get ~ 90mb down and 20 up.. but when I point out towards DC I get something a bit more realistic.

Forgot to mention another advantage to using a bittorrent client to test speeds:

The utorrent client will run for hours or days and keep a real time graph of both up and down speeds instead of a single point in time test like one of these servers.
