How come my broadband speed incresed?

Question

My broadband is advertised at 8mbps . When i did a speed test at www.speedtest.net , i it showed around 8mbps. i was happy.

For the past week or so, i ran an internet optimizer/defrag my com/remove all virus and spyware and at the SAME speed test website i got 26 mbps. I tried testing at other wbesites i am still getting a result of around 25mbps. Its consistent at many websites.

How come i achieve a speed that is higher than the advertised speed ?? I dont notice much of speed increase when browsing

Maybe i am not observant , but when i downloaded stuff from megaupload, my download speed was like 10 times faster than usual. LOL. !! IS IT because of internet optimizer??

Answer 1

It is not possible on ADSL to get 26 MB there must be something screwy with your system

The internet optimizer must be messing with you

download a file from a fast site and this will tell you the true speed
