time for the annual Internet Speed Quest

[Mark Komarinski]

My FIOS is advertised 50Mbps up and down.  When downloading games via steam I'm regularly peaking at 7MBps.  Latency for things like audio and video chat is quite acceptable.

I'm too far away from the CO to get anything other than ISDN so I'm kinda stuck with cable/FIOS.
