@austin420 its not just USA today, its TIME magazine as well, these are only 2 examples of the recent recognition that WP is getting, not to mention that the nokia lumia 800 is the highest selling phone in europe and the titan is selling out like crazy. can u really be that disconnected?

You make an incorrect assertion, even quoting the different speedtests inaccurately (it's KBPS, not Kbps), then you draw the wrong conclusion and make a terrible analogy. KBPS is 8/1000 of Mbps. It's eight bits per byte, and 1 mega per 1000 kilos. In this case, 100KBPS is .8Mbps. 1.8Mbps is 225% greater. Not 1800% as you noted.

If you're going to want to prove your knowledge of such things, at least get the nomenclature correct. Otherwise, your holier-than-thou, know-it-all routine just comes off as you being a jerk.
@ganjah mobilespeedtest does also measure with kbps but they just put it all in capital letters in those sharing images for some reason which is really inaccurate. if he used a larger test such as the 1MB test he wouldve gotten a much more accurate reading, and thanks for that keyboard thrashing, it probably won't register anyway.
