Rev. A Speed Tests - Please Post your results

[fortyeight]

I am getting 500k dl 200k upload, however for some reason speedtest.net is recommending me to an Los Angeles test center when I am located in the Bay Area/San Jose. After running the speedtest on the LA server, it says I am within 50 miles from the center.. When I run a test on the San Jose server, it says I am 400 miles away. Is there any way I could change towers. sorry im new to this.. this is my first post, Thanks.

i am in phoenix and it tells me that the recommended server is los angeles........ i dont know whhy, but you can click on any one of them that you want, i have pinged all over the world just for fun, austrailia, japan. i think the reason los angeles is my/your "preffered" server is because of the type and strength of the server not neccisarily the location in proximity. make sense?
austrailia
japan and in my sig is my "preffered" server (fyi all my tests done on my laptop laying in bed drinking a beer or three, with wmwifirouter, worth the money.)
