And yes, a router can have alot to do with affecting your speed. Unless your on a direct connection to the cable modem/source, your speed will always be slower than a host computer/direct wired computer.

DUMeter is actually a good utility. I used it before I had to replace my hard drive and lost my license. It's worth paying for. It'll keep a tab on how much you've transferred.

I like the graphic from SpeedTest and use that alot. I also use DSLReports.com, look for Tools. Some servers work better than others.

They advertise "up to" but they probably don't offer to let you pay "up to" do they?
