I couldn't even get 400k. the @ rrjskj speeds are good too and I'm glad that I can now pull down both those speeds with my Tmo HD7 on just 0 to 2 bars whereas with a full signal on sprint I could only pull 800 tops wherever I went. |
Caching is not done on the sites end, it is done on the ISPs end, whenever a file is requested by multiple people the ISP locally cache that data and deliver it. This way your not measuring your speed but the speed of the pipe.
Some browsers like opera, skyfire and etc also render content on their local servers then forward you the output. Where again you are measuring the pipe speed of the browser's servers.
