goto "speedtest.net" it's one of a few non-bogus test sites I know of.

You must be hooked in somewhere else.

Using my broadband which tested at 5mbps (Which is slower than usual), I can download openoffice at bout 300KB a sec, which for a 148MB file should be about 8 min.

To download the same file in 4 min, you only need 500-600KB a sec, which is more than possible on EVDO, you might have a good connection with OO servers or something.
