How fast is your Internet?

Mine is "fast enough" at the office, at home and on the phone, if the phone is connected to WiFi and not 3G.

But really, what is the speed? According to a piece at LaTimes.com, that depends. The author checked his home Internet at a number of speed check sites. The results varied wildly. I did the same checks with the same variances. From 1.5 megabites a second up to over 20. (I have Comcast cable at home.)

The over 20 megs a second site has ties with the providers, I wonder what that means? Check for yourself:
