Yankee Scum,
Your connection is the bottle neck. If you have a shell account you could test the true speed of the servers. Note Window 2002/3 by default will throttle users to 10% of the total bandwidth? so from your shell account you should get about 10Mbps and if you really want to test the servers setup 10 shell accounts and simultaneously download x10 and will see the servers deliver 100Mbps. Please note the servers have a Dedicated 100Mbit Full Duplex Port this not very common in the hosting industry (I can not think any hosting companies offing this). Here is what Full Duplex is
http://www.webopedia.com/TERM/f/full_duplex.html. When you have a Full Duplex on a 100Mbps server you can up and download 100Mbps of a total of 200Mbps.
And here?s the secret my hosting competition does not want you to know? Most sell you a 100Mbps server and give you a Half Duplex connection so you only get a 50Mbps up and download.
Key question to ask when shopping for a dedicated server is are you giving me a Full Duplex of a Half Duplex connection.
I if was to market the servers the way most of my competitors do then I would sell the as 200Mbps servers.
