They may do some magic with bandwidth delay products.. If that was the case=
, they may have written it for a standard latency versus something that is =
unreasonable by interweb standards.

The last crazy result I got was 146mbit/s on a hardwired 100 mbit link and=
1-2ms latency to the speedtest.net<http://speedtest.net> server I was usin=

I've seen speedtest.net<http://speedtest.net> give results significantly gr=
eater than the physical bw of the client's network link.
