bogus bandwidth speed tests.

I was re-wiring my network today and realized I had put a 10 mbps hub in between my cable modem and router. I use this in case I need to monitor traffic between my router and TWC. What was most interesting is that I had be told to run speed tests from http://speedtest.rrsan.com/ and was getting speeds in the range of 15-22mbps. Well clearly anyone with 1st grade math skills can see the problem here….

I intend to install a bandwidth throttler and see if I can figure out what is going on. What this has taught me is that I can’t believe their web site.
