According to my local cable company I have a 15Mbps internet connection, so as far as I am concerned they are both off. Any suggestions for a reliable data speed test site? Oh, BTW when I use the Speedtest app from the Market I get 3.5Mbps, so there's yet another different result.
It boils down to what server you connect to...its possible that the 18mbps server is hosted by either your ISP or the same bandwidth provider..while the other one is not...what are your latency on both tests?
