Comment 11 for bug 291085

In my case I'm using a Thinkpad 43p, 2GB, and Ubuntu 9.04. The dowload speeds, as reported by Ubuntu's System Monitor runs in the 20 to 80 Kb/s. Mostly around 35Kb/s. The ISP (Century Link) sent out a tech and the he reported that the line was good (above a minimum of 9Mb/s. We actually were getting slightly above 11Mb/s. We tried three other computers all of which were running some issue of Windows XP. The XP machines all clocked above 9Mb/s using Speakeasy.net.

I just ran another speed test and compared the result to the Ubuntu System Monitor: While the external site said about 54Kb/s, System Monitor reported about 12Kb/s.
