Qwest[Century Link] DSL vs. Wispertel[Skybeam]

Now that I have two internet service providers, I figured I'd do a comparison of the two. Went to http://speakeasy.net/speedtest/. Did an online speed test to San Francisco. With the Qwest/Century Link setup, my results were 1.13Mbps Down, and 0.69 Mbps Up.

With the Qwest/Century Link setup, my results were 1.13Mbps Down, and 0.69 Mbps Up.

Download Speed: 1130 kbps (141.3 KB/sec transfer rate)
Upload Speed: 693 kbps (86.6 KB/sec transfer rate)

With the Wispertel/Skybeam setup, my results were 1.42Mbps Down, and 0.46 Mbps Up.

Download Speed: 1424 kbps (178 KB/sec transfer rate)
Upload Speed: 455 kbps (56.9 KB/sec transfer rate)

So, I don't really know what to think of these results. Too early to tell I think. I'll have to do more tests.
