I think I am going backwards. What difference does it make whether I tick 1mb or 2mb, etc

This is a 2mb line

MyBroadband’s speed test website currently attracts over 50,000 broadband tests per month, giving a good overview of the real world speeds of South Africa’s broadband offerings.

A few Interesting facts

In September 2012 there were 92,505 speed tests performed on the MyBroadband speed test server.

The highest recorded download speed was 606Mbps from MWEB Connect;

Real world speeds hey? if 606mbps is a real world speed then I'm from another planet... just the same, if 606mbps is part of whatever makes up the 10mbps avg speed, this is a completely useless "report"

I'm pretty satisfied at present... I cant Synch at 10mb so it set to about 6mb, but I am using a 4mb uncapped connection (MWEB)

Same test with Afrihost Capped:

Upload Speed: 533 kbps (66.6 KB/sec transfer rate)

Why no 6mb selection ? This seems to be defacto between 4 and 10 mb.

How about making it compatible with non-flash devices?

These things don't seem to be very reliable. Real World speeds I'm getting between 5 and 50kbps! SMDH

Any news on the upgrade 1 - 2 Mbps?
September is long gone and I am still on 1

I'm adding my vote to bwana's suggestion as well. A HTML5 site would be nice, just saying.
