WTH? Upload faster than download?!

That's my hard wired connection at my hotel in Malaysia. The wireless connection won't even initiate the test

And to think - this crap connection is only costing ten bucks a day! Considering that the hotel room is only $40 a day, that's one steep price tag......

At the moment I'm seeing 13.99 Mb/s down and 4.22 Mb/s up. That's on Comcast cable over wi-fi from a iPad. My wired desktop machines are probably faster.

19.83 down, 2.29 up (really bad) but this is from my wifi latop behind a firewall and proxy server.

I need flash on the firewall to run the test directly to comcast, NO WAY that machine is kept tight.

on DSL I typically get about 5.5 or 6 download and a half meg up. Fairly consistent. No cable option here.
