    That was DSLReport's bandwidth test...they shouldn't limit it, or it's not accurate.

    No I believe you.. that's just weird though.. guess the test really is wrong.. I have yet to download any at my speeds myself, 300KB/s is the best I get.

    LMAO that is because its capped @ 1.5Mbps :rolleyes: so of course it will be easy to hit since AT&T's networks were built to run at uncapped 8-10Mbps speeds. Or at least I got there here before the cap.
