I get the feeling that these sites are attempting to sell a lot of new DSL connections.

My cable modem's speed according to Lens's link: 877.6 kb/s
According to Amp's link: 255 kb/s

The thing of it is, I've been on the phone with DSL users, and have tested our load speeds simultaneously to a variety of websites including some hosted in Europe, and guess what?
That's right, no DSL is as fast as the cable modem. Don't be fooled by these "testers" because they're comparing your speed with the DSL's MAX speed. How often do you think you'll see max throughput on a $30/month DSL?
