Although the speed test ran using Firefox 3.6.17 & IE 8, all I got was:
"Your Latest Results
Your speed results will appear after you have conducted a speed test."

With Google Chrome the detail results are displayed.
Any idea why this would happen?

The playbook should go to the person with the lowest speeds ;) That would be me! I deserve it for all my struggles with slow bandwith!
