Now that sounds more like it as per his upload speeds; 15mb up 
and 2mb down.  ;-)  If that's it, then he does indeed have a 
problem with the d'load speeds.

Vern, how is this supposed to line up with your FIOS 15 mb down 
and 2 mb
up account?

For your type of connection (fibre or greater) you should use a 
java
test http://www.broadbandreports.com/speedtest?java=1 as the 
link Clint
gave is suited more for cable or dsl.
