No filters or proxy servers. Just "their" dsl equipment. We switched
ISP's in part to a salesman pitching a faster connection then his
competition....gave what I thought to be believable data and/or reasons
why. Of course I did speed test with old ISP in place to be able to
compare. My argument is that I used the same internet speed test to
test the old ISP as I did the new ISP. For me, that would seem to be
enough data to use to argue his ISP is slower. I did not use the ISPs
website test...as I believe that's not a true test. Anyway, thanks for
all your inputs, and the weblinks.

If your ISP has a download area and they can give you a large file - say
30MB to download - The key being coming from their own network - harder
for them to fight the whole internet traveling/hops/routers excuse.
I can send you a quick little bandwidth calculator that will tell you
how long it should take to download different - for example - 30mb on a
768k pipe shold take about 6.5 minutes. This is will put you in the
ball park ... I am assuming you are complaining about a large difference
in speed.
Just as a quick question - are testing right from the ISP handoff
without any other devices between ... ie. proxy servers, web filters?
