Can we edit out the ==='s this time around please? They're kind of hard to deal with on the old firefox.

I have to say, I expected it to be higher.
Why you use old firefox?
Because that's all I can put on this netbook.
better with
surely? Rather than redirecting the file output to stdout, and redirecting THAT to /dev/null
Might be coincidence, but I get better results my way.
as opposed to
with my way.
Anyway:

I'll open a ticket, maybe that node is having problems. They answer pretty fast usually, so I'm not too worried about it.

Why does everyone only test download speed? If the box is a Server don't ya think upload speed is more important? Or is it assumed that upload and download will be the same....

No such thing as a reverse Wget, unfortunately.
Sure there is. It's called ftp/sftp.
Download from your vps to either your home computer or another vps and see what you get.

Hardly the same. Most people don't have home net that'd even get close to 100mbit, never mind gbit.
I don't understand why datacentres/hosting providers seem to ignore the inbound speeds when selling their service. We're not all hosting websites. I'd love to see a provider have an anonymous write-only FTP setup that deletes the files once they're complete, so we could test a provider's inbound speed before going with them.
