It seems I'm always a bit behind, but in a recent cal with Rogers support, I 
was directed to speediest.net to ensure my Internet speed. Sure enough, my Mac 
reported almost 9 MBs/sec download and around 2.5MBs/sec upload. Hoping that 
Mrs. Phillips didn't raise any fools, I told the guy on the phone it was about 
4.5 MBs down and 2.5MBs up and he said that's a little faster up (for the level 
of service I'm paying for one up from "light") and just about right for 
uploads, but not too much to worry about!
Phew, dodged that bullet I guess.

Anyway, being curious, I decided to try my iPad... And low And behold when I 
entered speediest.net on my iPad, it asked me I wanted to download the mobile 
app! Hell yes!
So now there it sits, on my iPad using the same wifi router as my Mac, but 
after 3 consecutive tests, minutes apart, the app is reporting unbelievably 
fast speeds: A blistering 21,5MBs/ download, 2.7 upload and of course am 
skeptical and curious to know if any of you have tried this and what results 
you're getting.
Thanx,
Garth.---
