Thoughts:

- The page is attractive, and definitely easy to use.
- Grammar: "For best results, please limit the *number* of applications or devices..."  (not "amount")
- Inaccurate display of measured speeds (see below)
- When will the source code be opened up?

I submitted the following on the feedback page. Thanks! -Rich

------
I realize that I'm not a prime candidate (7mbps/768kbps DSL) but the test results were grossly inaccurate:

- Ping results were 36 msec (about right for HTTP ping tests)
- Download speed toggled between 6 & 7, and settled on exactly "7" (not 7.0 or 6.9...)
- Upload speed displayed as "0.0" - this is plain wrong.

Comments:

- Provide at least two (or three, if warranted) significant digits: 6.9 mbps and 0.71 mbps would be more believable.

- And add latency measurements *during* transfers, too
