    I'm looking for a couple of reliable broadband speed test websites in the 50-75Mbs range?

    That was interesting James - 4 totally differing readings. From 2.4 Mbps to 13.10 Mbps Download.
    0.73 Mbps to 0.82 Mbps Upload. Neil.

    You're not testing your connection only but also everything between "your plug in the wall" and " their plug in the wall ". Results vary over time and "target" location.

    Thanks guys for all the help.

    speedtest.net gave similar results to my Verizon (verizon.com\services\speedtest).

    My old speakeasy.net gave moderately lower levels that I was concerned with so I'm going to discontinue using them.

    Yes, that's the Ookla test I was referring to. It is supposed to be the best speed test available.

    Really? Mine have been fairly universal across the board, course I use OpenDNS servers too.
