L/S no problem. I still run wire to my main computer and also downstairs in my house as it is much faster than the Wireless G. How much faster? According to Speakeasy speed test, wired 28212/2696 kbps, best rf (6 feet away)10094/2646 kbps. BitTorrent notices a big difference!
What kind of residential service is that from? Only a very limited few regions in the US have deployed cable modem systems that will go that fast, and/or you're on something like Verizon FIOS (fiber optic). Nothing in the ADSL "realm" even comes close to those numbers.
Otherwise, I'd say the number is inaccurate... or the result of something being cached. Being that you're a 2-lander, you might be one of the lucky few, though...
Try www.speedtest.net also, it's a little "smarter" than Speakeasy's tester, but does require a Flash-capable web browser.
