That's on a diff forum I go on, I mean is he having a laugh? Why would he host the image on Imageshack if it would be ok on Speedtest? Is the image fake? It's gotta be... I mean wouldn't VM notice?

Isn't that upload speed faster than a single UBR can even handle on it's own?

And yes, VM would notice.

I may be wrong but I was always under the impression that on DSL upload speeds were always lower than the download speeds.

Seeing as the image originates from imageshack and not speedtest.net I would suspect it is not genuine and a good photoshop forgery. As you pointed out, is just too fishy from that point alone.

Its fake. It is impossible to get that speed from a UBR considering that a UBR does not have that sort of bandwidth connected to it anyway, Its as simple as that.

I can think of better uses for time spent using Photoshop. Someone clearly needs to get out a bit more often.

If it was real, why would it be stored on imageshack? Surely the whole point of speedtest.net is to share the results directly from the site.

The guy is pathetic. He even adjusted the metadata in the file so it appears that he hasn't touched it in photoshop or another imaging app.

Yeah its photoshopped, the colour is also different.

It's a really poor photoshop too; misaligned text, different fonts used, different sized fonts used etc etc.

Did anyone think could the server he is testing from actually be able to give such speeds?

Maybe, but considering many people are using that speedtest and server, I doubt if only one person can get such results!
