ok i'll go first

I always think that Speedtest.net is completely inaccurate!!

I just tested my connection ( which should be pretty good since its 4am hence minimum network traffic ) pinging the Closed Server to me which is in Dublin and got these results...

Pretty Poor considering I have 20 Meg download. The upload could be slightly better but I know I get speeds all day long of about 90-100 Kbps Upstream.

Having done that test I've now turned on my P2P...

Check the picture I've uploaded and you'll see the vast difference... ( the picture only shows my download speed at it's potential )

In conslusion... Speedtest.net is rubbish!

It's Mbps not kbps just in case some people miss it

Not the best iv had but its around the usual mark, perfectly adequete for hosting a 5v5 match against UK opponents.

P2P will never give u an accurate test of your Dl speed or upload. It is all dependant on other peers and their connections and the speed that thaey allow you to Dl/Ul from them. You can quickly go from 500kb/s Dl to 30kb/s in a matter of seconds depending on who you are connecting too.

I know P2p relies on the peers your connecting to... when I took that picture I was downloadin at season of Lost i think and got that speed throughout the whole download. The picture if u saw It was just supposed to show what my connection consistantly gives me instead of the shitty 4/5 megs speedtest said lol!

My pc is shit too so it may have effect ( when i say shit i mean like real bad like)
