the speed test match what I get when I download stuff, so I would say yes.

Short answer. Yes.


Long answer. Not really.
Because ISPs have been known to fake those speed tests by giving them a higher priority so when their customers test their connection they'll see higher than actual speeds.
 
Well, I pay for 200Mbps/20Mbps. I routinely get an average of 220/28 on several test sites. Even my ISP's test site is in line with the others. So I don't have any complaints. The cap is what is really important to me, as my TV watching is 90% streaming.

Just curious, thanks.

Zepher, what app is that?

Ya, I was wondering, what would happen if I plug all those into my normal desktop switch?
And it's only 1 connection, the other 2 are from VM's. Board has 4 NIC's on it.
 
Yes. With DD-WRTx86 in a VM, I can pull 30MB/s+ on Torrents or Usenet all day,
which matches my Speedtest results.
