This is not what your ISP advertises, but your real-world speed.
Go Here to Test
It supported my cable modem, which is wicked fast.  Here are my results:
Down Speed: 10250 kbps
Up Speed: 735 kbps

Be sure to post your results and ISP+connection type.
I have an RCN Cable Modem ("Mach 10," I think)

EDIT: Be sure to choose the location nearest you.  Choosing farther servers DRASTICALLY cuts your speed (it cut mine to a third of the regular speed).

Everyone might want to try the DC server.  It seems to be the fastest.

ya really.  Stupid Shaw Cable.  lets just say my down speed doesnt live up to most of all your up speeds...  

[deadparrot]

How do you people get such amazing speeds?  I've got just about the only decently priced package around here that has no download limits and it's 1MB down, 256K up!  And it costs close to $50 (after UK to US conversion) per month, on a business line!

The greatest we can have is 2MB over ADSL, and 1.5 over cable.  In 2 years we will have 18MB ADSL all over the country and 10MB cable though.

I miss my 3MB Comcast I had in California!

I used to get 10mbit down and 5-7mbit up, then my roommates discovered the joys of p2p and spyware, and we got capped  
I will do a speedtest later to find out what my speed has become, but it is FAR less then it used to be
