Interesting range of tests available, including whether there's any traffic shaping in place.

Some of those tests might be useful,  however given their background I would have hoped that they would get their units and prefixes correct ...   according to the results, I get 1.7 millbits per second upstream and 32 millibits per second down!      If they cannot get their units and prefixes correct can the rest of their test be considered accurate fully validated?   On the same page they use both "s" and "sec" for second
