Speedtest.net

I switched from AT&T DSL and Dish TV to AT&T U-VERSE today. In addition to a much better TV selection my Internet download bandwidth increased about 10% and upload bandwidth increased about 100%. The best part is it is the same cost to me. See the updated results below.
Here is an interesting site for Uverse updates. UverseUsers.com



Here is a quick and easy ISP speed test. I like the fact that I did not have to register for anything or download any apps to run the test.

Here are my results



Not bad considering this was an old HP pavilion with a usb wi-fi connection 20 feet from the host
