    Wes:  I've used a couple of Internet speed tests, at different times, but 
always w/ the same configs.  Neither config has been modified.  All of the 
results are the same.  I use ADSLGuide and DLSReports as my speed tests, 
which are in different continents, but both report the same speeds.  I use 
different browsers, but Java is what does the deal.

    I am still clueless....Jet
