lol yeah

i know the different between them so doesnt bother me bt i was more trying to show that speed test are depenet on 4 things mainly your ocmputer, your connection, the speed test site pipe ie connection and the maount of user using at at any oen given time, so gettinga speed test saying you have 5mb connection doesnt mean you arent getting your conenction speed but of course jsut it a start for testing you should then use bandwidth test with relible things liek torrents or big game fie sites etc
