Your problem is that you most likely had a dial-up modem on the
system. Its settings are still somewhere in your registry. I believe
DSLReports has registry files that you can download that will reset
your settings or even maximize for cable or DSL.

Some people do nothing wrong.
The problem is, they do nothing.
And THAT is wrong.
The latency and available bandwidth on your link (i.e.. your ISPs network),
his link upstream to his provider, all the routers and links (also usually
of different capacities and latency) that exist between you and these test
sites have a major impact on the results (not to mention the current state
and load on these test servers).
I could be sitting in the building right beside you on the east coast and it
may be faster for me to send packets to my buddy on the west coast (or any
site for that matter) then to you.
It all depends on the peering relationship with between my ISP and yours,
and the quality and class of links being used between our two locations.
Geographic location is a factor (increased latency the farther you're away)
but it's not a major one. These tests give you an indication of speed to
one site, nothing more.

When I said ".. just the speed to get to DSL reports" I meant the speed to
DSL reports ISP test servers.
Measuring performance on the Global Internet is a very difficult thing to
do. Geographic location doesn't necessarily determine how close/fast I am
to a test site. I disagree that I was wrong, your example is somewhat right
however, it actually proves my
point.

his link upstream to his provider, all the routers and links (also usually
of different capacities and latency) that exist between you and these test

Geographic location is a factor (increased latency the farther you're away)
but it's not a major one. These tests give you an indication of speed to
one site, nothing more. Not a fully accurate measure of your potential on
the Internet.
