I could guess your speeds more accurately than these things :/ Speed tests (esspecially HTML based ones) are rarely accurate.

These things are so inaccurate.

Best test is to download a large file off of your ISP's FTP server and take note of the average kb/s transfer there.

And for those saying that your ISP is ripping you off because your not getting your 1500/512/256/whatever speed that advertised speed is the theoretcial maximum bandwidth. There is a lot of overhead in internet traffic and no matter what you will never see the full speed quoted.
